Brillante Weblog Award - Thanks Kim!

I just received the Brillante Weblog Award from Kim, a new demonstrator friend of mine in Brisbane, Australia!  She found my website a little while ago and we've exchanged several e-mails ever since!  I'll definitely be looking her up on my next trip to Australia.  Kim was one of the Top 15 Demonstrators in Australia last year!  Congrats!!!

If you don't know, I love Australia.  I gave myself a trip to Australia as a 30th birthday gift back in 2005.  I fell in love with the country instantly!  It was definitely the trip of a lifetime.  I cashed in a TON of hotel points and frequent flyer miles so that I could go absolutely free!  I only paid for the things I did while I was there.  I rode a camel in the outback, took a helicopter tour over Ayers Rock, went on a private wine-tasting tour of the Barossa Valley, learned how to drive on the wrong side of the road, took in a concert at the Sydney Opera House, and climbed to the top of the Sydney Harbour Bridge (see me over there on the left) - just to name a few!  I've been saving my points and miles for a return trip - I have more than enough to do it all over again!!!

So, back to stamping, I'm passing this along to three blogs/people who inspire me.  I don't believe I've ever introduced you to these three fabulous ladies:

Patty - I've been watching Patty's blog for several months now!  I always receive inspiration from her projects.  But, I think it was her posts about the cruise in back March which were part of my inspiration to earn Hawaii!  Patty, I'll be seeing you in Hawaii next year - Thanks!!!

Dannie - I forget when I stumbled across Dannie's blog.  But, she inspires me to blog daily!  I found myself visiting her blog every day because I knew she'd offer me something fresh and new - what I now try to offer you!  I see she earned this award just last week from a couple of people - she deserves it!

Clean and Simple - I love this blog.  It's authored by a trio of talented stampers.  I love their style and find myself bookmarking many of their cards to use as future inspiration!
