•Another Award•

Big thanks to Ronney over at Ditzy Dezigns.
Thanks for thinking of me hun!

The goal of the award is to bring recognition to blogs with minimal followers. Since I have accepted this award, I must pass it on to at least 3 other blogs (but not more than 5) that have inspired me and that I feel deserve much more attention!

The rules are to say "Thank you!" on our blog to the one who awarded us and to link back to their blog. Then, pick the blogs to pass on the award, leave a note on their blog and then list them with links to their blogs, etc....
That being said, I've chosen 4 great blogs:
1.Candylicious Designs

All of these guys have been so awesome & I'm so blessed to call them FRIENDS!!
Be sure to check each one out & discover their amazing
tuts, tags, & scraps!!
Thanks again Ditz!!
