Blog Award from Mary H!!

I want to thank Mary from Carolina Cards who was kind enough to pass this award to me. Thank you so much, Mary! Please go check out Mary's blog, she makes the most amazing cards!  I'll pass this award along to other bloggers by following the rules, and hopefully make them feel as happy as I did when it came to me. It was a real bright spot in my day!  I went through a lot of blogs trying to pass this award along and follow the rule of less than 200 followers. It was hard as so many blogs have more than 200 followers. lol  There are so many blogs that I visit, with so much awesome talent, this was a tough task to fulfill. Hope you'll check out these creative bloggers.
