Paper crafting people are some of the most caring and thoughtful people, don't you agree? The ladies at Jingle Belles (Lauren & Stef) and the Bellettes (Jingle Belles participants) are some of the nicest in the blogosphere. And speaking of sweet people:
BFB award from Trish
A Thing of Beauty award from Lisa
I am supposed to list 5 things you may not know about me, then pass on these awards:
- I have a 20 year old cat (our furry daughter) named Skeeziks
- We have fraternal twins girls who will be 9yo next week, both of whom are diagnosed with Autism
- I love food of all types, but my favorite is Indian cuisine
- I taught secondary math (grades 8-12, general math thru pre-calculus) for 14 years, and I miss it!
- I love to sing, but you probably wouldn't want to hear me :)

1. Amber of My 3 E Scrapbooking
2. Courtney Lee of Court's Crafts

Hi dear June! I just love your card. I love that BasicGrey paper and I love the cup on the doily!!! Just beautiful. I have got to start playing with the Jingle Belles! Maybe then I would send out some cards at Christmastime... Thank you so much for the award. I am so happy that our paths have crossed. I can't wait for the day we can go out for Indian food and then to a karaoke bar - LOL!
I agree with R. Maria... I'm going to drink coffee when I grow up... that would be never...
