I am Blessed!

This hobby of ours has always been an enjoyment for me, but the best part of this year has been the great friends and new experiences that I have been blessed with. Since I started blogging in the spring I have met so many new friends from all around the world and have been given so many fun opportunities to grow. My latest treat is from my friend Marie aka cardmaking bird who is on the design team with me at There's Magic in the Air. She hails from England and yesterday presented me with this award.



Isn't that the most beautiful vintage blinkie....thanks so much Marie. I appreciate you always checking out my posts and the lovely things that you say.
Now to the specifics of this award.
1. Thank the person presenting
2. Tell 3 things about yourself that you like
3. Pass it on to 7 deserving people

As to the things that I like about myself....
That I seem to attract the best and most loyal of friends around me...don't ask me how but I appreciate each and every one. Second, that my husband is one of those and loves me in spite of myself, and third that I am trying very hard to see the good and wonderful things in my life and let things that I cannot change, go!
I am choosing the following people for this award, as they have been an important part of my journey so far....
Olga
Colleen
Theresa
Betty
Linda
Jennie
Annika

There are others out there that I am not mentioning, but not because I don't appreciate your help and caring...
