Liebster Award

I have been awarded this Blog Award from Debbie Airey.

which translates, from German, into "Dearest Blog".  The premise behind this award is to draw attention to new blogs, or blogs with fewer than 3,000 followers.

I want to say a really big Thank you to the very talented Debbie Airey at Deb's Stamping Corner for choosing me for this award, now you must go and check out her blog, her work is very beautiful.

As a recipient of this award I must:

1- Create a post where I blog about the Liebster award & reveal my 3-5 blog picks

2- Let the honorees know that I selected them

3- Copy & paste the blog award on my blog

 Now I would pass this forward to some very talented ladies, whose blogs are an inspiration.

Hi everyone, hope you have all had a great Christmas.

We had a AB Fab Christmas with family in Christchurch.

Here are a collection of photos taken on Savannah's new camera that she got for Christmas, she has some terrific photos.

When I got home and cleared my emails, I have an email from the Lovely Lynda with a Blog Award for me.

I have gotten to know Lynda through the chat room, We Stamp For Lara back in November, Lynda is a great friend and encourager and we have been emailing and following each others blogs since.

1. I'm an import into Timaru, only been in Timaru for 3 years and I'm loving it.

2. I love the Caroline Bay Carnival (celebrating its 100th birthday this year).

3. We camped at Temuka Holiday Park (tent) for several year from the late 70s to early 80s.

4. We tried to get to the West Coast to see Anna on Tuesday, only got as far as Arthur's Pass due to a bridge wash out, so we headed back to Lake Lyndon, Porters Pass, Canterbury and had a picnic in the rain.

5. I love walking in the rain on the beach.
