Thanks So Much!!

Hello my friends!
   OMG! It's almost 3 months since my last post. How time flies! I thought I would be back here in Sept. but, just could not as one thing after another popped up. A big thanks to you all for your support by sticking out here although I was MIA for so long. In fact, each time I viewed my blog, I found I had visitors and even some new friends which made me feel good. Besides, during my absence here, I was featured for THIS card on Flashback Friday and also received two blog awards. 
Thank you Lori from Loris Artsy Obsession for honoring me with this Butterfly Award.

To accept this award all you have to do is these 3 things...
1. Link back to the person who you received the award from. 
2. Answer the following 10 questions (You'll find the questions in Lori's post HERE)    
3. Pass the award on to 10 of your crafty blogging buddies.
Sorry, I'm not going through the task of answering questions but I would like to pass this award to all of you my friends for all your blogs are cool in their own special way. Now, don't be shy, please feel free to grab it from here.  
Thank you Sue from Sue's Craft Haven for the Tag - You're It Award!

To accept this award you have to share 10 things about yourself and pass the tag on to five other Blogging Buddies. Sorry, once again I'm not going through this or else my post will not be up today. However, if you'd like to know more about me, I've shared over 15 things about myself in a post HERE. And this time I will pass it on to my buddies who also post awards on their blog.

They are:

Dawn from Dawn's Crafting

Susan from Imagine, Create, Express

Helen from Let's Create

Shen from My Curious Crafts

Kevin from McCrafty's Cards

Finally, here's my card to say ' Thanks So Much' to YOU.

The stamped image of the Arum Lilly is from 'Stamp It' -Flowers. (An Indian Educational toy! I bought in India several years ago) It was colored by my DD using soft pastels. I layered it on gold cardstock, used a SRM sticker sentiment & lightly highlighted the edges with Tim Holtz (Mustard Seed) distress Ink. The latter two items were sent to me by my crafting buddies. Thanks Nina from Crafting in Croatia and Ann from Stargroves. Today, I'm able to craft with some actual crafting supplies (not even heard of here) because of you. God Bless You!

I'm entering this card into the following challenges:

Crafty JC Challenge - Simplicity
