My 1st award yay

I have got my 1st blog award from Wendy at crafting purple crazy 

So as part of this award I must tell you why I started my blog and why I keep it going.

Ok I started this blog as I had friends who have raved about them so thought I would give it a go as like to try different sketches and colour themes , also love to see what other ppl come up with. Plus when mojo is a bit slow I find it helps get it going again.

And now why I keep it well I guess it because I am hooked on them cant seem to leave blog landalone for very long plus I like seeing what my friends come up with as well as making new friends and new craft goodies to try out.

Now its time to give this award to 10 of my fave blogs which is not a easy task
