Sharing the Sunshine

I have been trying to write this post all day but it is the Easter hols and with five children insisting on trips to the park, playing Just Dance on the Wii, games of Scrabble and the like, this has not been easy! If I am lucky I may just manage to write this post before bedtime stories. 

I was delighted a couple of weeks ago to be nominated for a Sunshine Award by Lynwood Crafts.  This is a lovely award for crafty blogs and really brightened up my day.  So now I have finally maaged to narrow down my choices to the suggested twelve and can share the sunshine.  There are a number of reasons for my choices, some share great crafting tips, small business tips and design ideas.  Some are simply inspriring and I just love to read all my choices.  I have also gone gobal as I follow blogs from around the world, for some reason I seem to have alot of Austarlian designers / makers in my blogroll!

.....So......drum roll please......the Sunshine Award goes to.....

Sunshine Award

WOW what a week! I don't normally post today but just had to share the great week I have had.  Firstly a huge thank you to Lynwood Crafts for the nomination to receive a Sunshine Award.  I have just added the badge to my blog and will be posting my twelve choices in the next few days.  Then today I got my first sale on Etsy.  I was very excited as I listed some ribbons and buttons last month, but no sales to date. So I decided to try one of my rings on there on Friday and it sold this afternoon. 

One left on Folksy!

I think I will have to list another this week in case the sales fairy is smiling my way!
