    Hi Sue,
    What great news, I sent an e-mail to numerous magazines, to forward your name and blog, to nominate you, quiet afew months back, cannot remember if it was Mabex who suggested it!!!!You should definitely be voted for the best card designer, as there is no-one who touches you or your style, and definitely for the best blog, you have such a loyal following now, you should be so proud, you deserve every award going, that's my unbiased opinion, hee hee.
    Congratulations to the candy winners, and good luck to all for the ally pally tickets, yipeeeee.

      I think I was too tired when I read this post as I did not see the awards notice. Please, please forgive me Sue. This entry for the awards is long overdue and very much a definite in my eyes. You not only offer a constant stream of amazing cards using various techniques for our inspiration, you include full make-up details too. On top of that you reward your followers with the sweetest candy. Now anyone would say that Is enough, but no, you also treat everyone like a friend, with respect and recognition, if so required. You are willing to laugh at yourself and with us. Your schedule is busy but you never neglect your blog. So I can think of many words to describe you but I think one word says everything important... COMMITTED. Thank you. I will keep everything crossed for you and cast my vote.
      Biggest hugs Linda xx
