An award?

For little old me? I would like to say a huge HUGE Thankyou to Caroline from Atelier Caroline, who believes my blog to be worthy of the A Blog with Substance award.

I am so touched to know that someone enjoys reading my random ramblings about our lives. Please use the link above to check out Carolines lovely blog, I love checking in to see what's new over there, she has some awesome crafty ideas and tutorials.

So now to accept my award!

I would like to Thank my husband who allows me to avoid housework in favour of blogging ..............

Nah just kidding! He is awesome but this isn't the Oscar's ;-)

In order to accept my award I must

• Thank the blogger who awarded it to you  ( Done! Thanks again Caroline)
• Sum up your blogging philosophy, motivation, and experience using 5 words.
• Pass it on to 10 other people you feel have blogs with real substance.

My top 10 blogs with substance (in no particular order)

Sonja @ Home cooking with Sonja - much more than just cooking, warm sweet and friendly blog that makes me want to fly to Holland every Sunday! And she leaves me the sweetest comments.

Leslie @ A spoonful of everything - Creative, funny and friendly, reading Leslie's blog is like sitting at the kitchen table having a cuppa with a good friend.

Cheryl @ A pretty cool life   - has impeccable taste in all things gingham and she allows me to semi - stalk her on Facebook.

Melanie @ The crafty Cupboard - I love checking in to see what sewing scrumptiousness she has been creating - She also once allowed me to be the only non-US participant in a giveaway.

Raymonde @ Everyday I walk with you .. another sweetheart who is super friendy. This lady take amazing photos!

Tiffany @ Elastamom's excerpts - Tiffany writes with such humour and honesty. I love her blog.

Jen @ Larson Loves and her craft blog craft-o-maniac - I love the way Jen writes and also her decorating and craft ideas are fab.

I would also like to shout out to my friends and family whose family blogs are filled with love, life and plenty of substance. They are all linked over in my sidebar, some are private some are family content only so I wont leave links, but I do think they are awesome xx (I know that technically this take me over 10 but I couldn't choose between them!)
