I'm once, twice 3 times a..........lady

Actually I am no lady at all but am the proud owner of 3 blog awards today and couldn't think of a post title! Firstly I must apologise for my absence! I finally came down with the awful cold and flu bug on New Years Eve and have been in bed pretty much ever since! I have another medical condition and this has aggravated that as well so all in all a HAPPY NEW YEAR! NOT!!!!! Can't stop coughing enough to craft but thought I would come on quickly and say hi and give thanks for my awards

Thank you clare for this super trooper award......I have received this before and am sooooooo lucky to have received it again so thank you!

This is from the lovely Marica Here are the rules for this really sweet award...Pick 5 blogger's that you consider as your best blogging buddies and deserve this award for their contribution towards the blogging community, no matter what language.State the name of the author of each blog as well as a link to each one's blogs.Each blogger (upon acceptance) of this award should do a post and show the award on their blog and put the name and link to the blog that has given her/him the award.... This is a tricky one!!!! but I would like to pass it to Marcia, Tab, Natalie, Teresa and kim all these ladies ( well some are more ladylike than others LOL) really brighten my day when I see they have made a post or left me a comment.

My final award was from the scrumdiddlyumptious Tab she is one clever crafter! Go check out her blog! I need to pick another 5 of my faves to share with you!!!! They are kim (a different kim) Justine , Diane, Clare & Dawny P

Phew.....right more cough mixture and back to bed for me!
