Theresa at "Juicy Creations",  http://juicycricutcards.blogspot.com/ , awarded me my very first Blog Award.   I am so excited and so very humbled that she found me and picked me for this award.  I'm very new to the blogging world, and have been using my blog to showcase my creative adventures into paper crafting - as well as my other creations.  Thank you Theresa for this wonderful award!

This award comes with a few rules:
