This Is A First For Me

Jane O'Leary of Doing it With Ink has given me my very first blog award.  Thank you, Jane!

It's the Liebster Blog Award.  And here's how it works:

The goal of the award is to spotlight up and coming bloggers who currently have less than 200 followers. The recipients of the award shoud:

1. Thank the giver and link back to the blogger who gave it to you.
2. Reveal your top picks and let them know by leaving a comment on their blog.
3. Copy and paste the award on your blog.


So, now it's my turn to pass it on.  I would like to share it with:





Oh dear.  I'm so new to this blogging thing I have a confession to make.  I'm not sure who I'm following that has fewer than 200 followers.  My daughter has been trying to help me add blogs to follow.  And I'm trying to follow all of you who follow me, but sometimes when I click on your pictures I have a hard time finding your own blog to return the following.

So.......if you ladies could help me out.  If you have a blog with under 200 followers and would be so kind as to leave your blog in the comments below, I will head to each of them and decide from those.

Thank you for the award, Jane!  And thank you all for stopping by.  I look forward to checking out more of your blogs.  Joanie

The best way I know how to thank you is with a card. So this  one is for Jane. 

A Thank YOU Card for Jane :-)

In this project for Jane I used the Wings paper packet, Olive ink, The Present Stamp Set, A little Thanks sentiments stamp set, and also the new Cricut cartridge (Art Philosophy) flower on page #21.
I cut out the flower in different sizes, 1 3/4,  1 1/2,  1 1/4,  and 1 inch.


UPDATE:  I'm still figuring out who to give the award to.  This is harder than I thought it would be, because I have to find people that have blogs with fewer than 200 followers.  Anybody have some good recommendations?  Even if it's themselves?  Please let me know.

Thanks for stopping by.  Have a good day, Joanie
