Sunshine, Sunshine, Everywhere!

I'm such a lucky girl! There are been sunshine awards popping up everywhere in Stampin' Up! blog land and I've been the lucky reciepient this week of not one, not two, not three, not even four but FIVE Sunshine awards. Sunshine awards are given to other bloggers who help spread Sunshine and a positive, upbeat attitude while sharing what we love and do -- stamping, of course! I want to thank Tiffany Bauer, Michelle Schmidt, Holly Krautkremer, Sheryl Dreyer and Sage Kimble for awarding me this honor. It really is an honor and a privilage to know that so many people look to my blog each week for inspiration, ideas and encouragement. Sometimes life get so busy and I don't always have the time, or take the time, to express my appreciation to so many of you who make my day with your comments, feedback, questions and with your inspiration! One of the things, perhaps the thing that I enjoy most about Stampin' Up! is the community that we share with each other. I've met so many wonderful new friends through Stampin' Up! and for everyone person that I've met directly, there are dozens or probably hundreds of others that I only know through electronic communication, but we are a community, none-the-less, and I appreciate and value the friendships I've made and creativity that we share.

So, here are the rules for the Sunshine Award!

1. Put the Sunshine Award on your blog and/or within your post.

2. Pass the award to 12 other bloggers.

3. Link the nominees within your post.

4. Let them know they received this award by leaving a comment on their blog.

5. Share the love and link to the person from whom you received the award.

Wow, what a job to select just twelve people to honor with this award. I've tried to select some very talented women who may not have received this award, or any award before. I hope you will be inspired by them as I have been! Here's the list -- click on their name to take a peek at their blog and the wonderful projects they share with us all!
