So, in keeping with the traditions of this award, I would like to pass this onto the following people who have inspired me to take a step out of the box, get out of my comfort zone and do something different and enjoy it at the same time ......

1. Bev is my imag-e-nation buddy. Bevs blog is here. She has been a good friend over the past months and is never unavailable for a chat or a text.

2. Cath is a friend from a wonderful card making group. Don't know why I am sending this to her today though - she got to go to the Millennium Stadium yesterday to see Wales play the Kiwi's (which we sadly lost) and I am so jealous, but she needs something to cheer her up at the moment and this is the best way I can help at the moment xxx Cath's blog is here

3. Lizbe is another imag-e-nationer and a rock when you need her xxx She has not been well yet has soldiered on regardless and is always there for a chat. And as for Mike, her husband, well his e-mail he sent in a few weeks back has been saved and still makes me cry whenever I read it. Liz deserves this award so much, I just wish I could do more xxx. Lizbe's blog is here

4. Margaret - just cos she's Margaret xxx She knows what she she does and it makes my heart smile. Always giving with no thought for herself and she too needs this to give her some hope xxx Margarets blog is here

5. Pam - another lady always there for someone else in their hour of need. So she too deserves something more than just this blog award, but she will still appreciate it for the sentiment xxx Pams blog is here

6. Our Kath, better known as teabelly (and a HUGE lover of firemen lol). Always there with a gentle word and never asking for anything in return xx Kaths blog is here

7. And last but not least - Nicky. A kind word, a good laugh and a great friend. What more could you ask for xxx Nicky's blog is here
