A CHALLENGE PROJECT AND ANOTHER BLOG AWARD!!!

Hello again, everyone! Well, I'm back with another challenge project. This one is something you've all probably seen before because there are different variations of it pretty much everywhere. However, I've never did one and I thought I'd like to for the Made By Momo, "Love Is In The Air" challenge.

The project is a standing candy bar pouch, and I've used a chocolate Hershey Bar with Almonds -- yum!!! As I like to name my projects I'm calling this one the "Let It Stand" Valentine Candy Bar Standing Pouch:

Here's a picture of the stand attached to the back of the pouch and one showing the candy bar outside the pouch:

I think it came out pretty well!

I'ld also like to say thank you to my very dear friend Linda for passing on to me this award:

As I've received this award several times (and I'm very appreciative for each and every one of those times), I hope no one will mind if I forego the rules of passing it on again. However, I will love adding Linda's name, as a show of my appreciation for this award, to the award on my sidebar. And, again, Linda , thank you so very much!

Many of you know Linda, the "ladybug" lady -- lol! -- but on the off-chance you haven't met her, please visit her blog by clicking on her name where it's highlighted above. She's such a delight!!! And while you're there you have to check out the waving grasshopper at the top right-hand side of the page -- he's just too cute and too hysterical!!!

Well, I'll be back... so,

I'll be seeing you!

WELCOME NEW FOLLOWERS!

Thank you very much for becoming a follower. I love having you here and I hope you're as inspired by my craft projects as we are by those throughout this great blogging community.

It is a practice of mine to attempt to personally thank all my followers for taking the time and consideration to follow my blog, however, Google Friend Connect does not always provide blog and/or contact information for me to find you. If it is permissible, please leave me a comment with your blog and/or contact information; I'd love to be able, if possible, to drop in on you also (I do not publish personal information provided). My reason, and a goal, for doing this is because I do not take for granted anyone who has graciously taken time to follow me openly -- you could lurk and I'd never know you were there, although I'd appreciate you just the same. Following is a great compliment, and I appreciate you and your interest!

However, please note that as my blog family grows it takes longer to get around to everyone as quickly as I did when I had only a few followers; therefore, please be patient and I promise I will visit as soon as I can possibly get to you to say "welcome" and to let you know I'm aware you're there.

Thank you again, and I hope you make yourselves at home and come back often -- you're now a part of my family!!!
