My First Blog Awards

I would like to thank  Kristy over atScraptastical Kreations and 

Lisa over at Scrapping with Lisa

For me to fully accept this award I have to share 8 things about myself and award this to 8 other blogs. This should be super fun! Here we go....

1. I am new to the crafting world. I love to do a lot of different kinds of crafting. Layouts, cards, scrapbooks and many more things. I use both paper piercings and digital layouts.

2. I am a proud mother of 2 handsome young men Michael and Andrew and the proud grandmother to my first grandchild Carson James. (You will see him in a lot of my layouts)

3. I am married to the man of my dreams George. This man is my soul mate and holds my heart for a lifetime. 

4. I came up with the name Honeybearz Designs for my blog because I have been in love with teddy bears since I was little. I wanted to be a little different with the name so I put a z instead of a s just to be creative.

5. I am a big bingo player.  I love to go play BINGO! I find it relaxing. My husband can't understand how I can but I do.

6. I have dedicated 2011 to a new healthier me. Sometimes it is a big struggle but I will accomplish it I know I can do it. I just have to keep reminding myself that I need to.

7. My favorite season is fall. I love all the colors. Especially with living in the north. The color changes are just beautiful and amazing.

8. My favorite kind of music is Country music. I just love George Strait. I could listen to his music forever.

Now I'm supposed to pick 8 other bloggers to give this too.  Well I'd like to share this with the following ladies because you all are an amazing bunch of ladies.  I am so happy to be associated with all of you.

1. Mary at CARDZ TV

                                   2. Tricia at Little Scraps of Heaven Designs

I want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for

This is it... Last day of the LSHD Blog Hop

Welcome to Day 8, the very last day of the  first Little Scraps of Heaven blog hop. I have enjoyed being a part of this blog hop with all these talented ladies. I want to thank Kristy and Tricia for asking me to be a part of this fun event. I know I missed some of my deadlines with my post and all but sometimes life gets in the way of our fun time. (darn it...lol) I would be honored to be a part of any other blog hop that Little Scraps of Heaven does. I have met some wonderful ladies from this hop. I will be placing all the participants of this bloh hops blinkies on my page so be sure to visit them all daily. You will be inspired by all the talent for sure. Don't forget to comment on all the post for this blog hop so you have a chance on all the blog candy that I am giving away.

My project today holds a special place in my heart and I hope it will for all of you also. I posted a post last month called "All for Aidan" (I am going to post it again in this post for those who missed it) Aidan is a little 2 yr old boy with T  Cell Leukemia. I would love it if we could all pull together and give this little boy lots to smile about.

 A Baby in Need of Smiles - Please Help Little Aidan Tanya from Scrappin KY Momma needs help from all of us crafters. She knows this little boy and his family and would like to send him cards. Here's his story...

Aidan is a sweet lil 2 year old who was recently diagnosed with T Cell Leukemia. On Wednesday, he had a port installed in his chest, spinal tap, bone marrow, and chemo in his spine. He did GREAT! This lil guy is such a trooper. His parents have accepted that their BABY has Leukemia.. NOT the easiest thing to accept, but their faith in God and their support system have kept them going. T-Cell Leukemia has a high cure rate although chemo will be continued for quite a while. Lil Aidan LOVES mail, like any 2 year old does. So....

Let's get our crafting supplies out and send this lil guy some LOVE!!! Pass this on to all your crafty friends. I think we can all take a couple minutes and make something special for him that will bring LOTS of smiles and he can look at over and over. We all know how laughing and smiling can be good for the soul. Let's give him this much for him to enjoy while he's battling this horrible disease. I have no doubt in my mind that God can perform a miracle in this beautiful child. Please keep him and his family in your prayers.Lets all come together and put Lots of BIG Smiles on Aidan's and his parents faces.

You can mail your cards to:

AIDAN
c/o Tanya Stilwell
P.O. Box 143
Cecilia, KY 42724

Please copy this post to your blogs so we can send lots of mail to Aidan.

For my project today I did a few little things for cards for Aidan.

Now for some blog candy. For my give away today

I am giving one lucky winner

The Cricut Cartridge "Just  Because" Cards
