Blog Award

Thank you Liz for awarding me the Kreativ Blogger Award! Liz is also known as lazylizard on SCS and she is always leaving such nice comments on my cards. I notice that we usually post our challenge cards around the same time as well so I feel like we are virtual stamping friends!

To accept the award I had to do a few things:

*Thank the person who nominated me for this award.

*Copy the logo and place it on my blog.

*Link the person who nominated me for this award.

*Name seven things about me that people might find interesting.

*Post links to the seven blogs that I nominate.

*Leave comments of all seven blogs letting them know I nominated them.
7 things about me that people may find interesting:
1. I started making cards on my own using Mrs Grossman's stickers and my workspace has grown from the kitchen table to a 3' by 6' armoire in the living room.
2. I learned just about everything I know about stamping and other papercrafting through Splitcoast Stampers.
3. I love the Yahoo cardmaking group I'm in and travel from California to Minnesota and Iowa yearly to stamp and have fun with these wonderful women!
4. In addition to stamping I am addicted to knitting.
5. I am retired after working over 30 years as a special education teacher, a management telephone company employee and a manager at Charles Schwab.
6. Besides my husband and daughter, I love all things furry - my SCS avatar is Toby my cat that passed away this year and this blog is named after our beloved Calico cat Ally.
7. When I am not stamping I love to hike, read, knit, volunteer at our local high school and volunteer at my temple.

Here are my 7 nominations for this award (though I really can name a lot more):
1. Susan at Simplicity
2. Natasha at Palmtrees and Pogosticks
3. Michelle at Freedom in Creating
4. Danni at Danni's Dreams
5. Stacy at Twinshappy
6. Lynette at My Stamping Addiction
7. LeAnne at Wee Inklings
