Kirsty Girl Features: Stamping Still & Desire Empire

I have been nominated for my first ever blog award!

image_thumb
By none other than my gorgeous Mummy! Yay! Thanks Mum. Haha. Apparently now I have to tell you 8 things about myself that you might not know. Scary!

1.  When I was a little girl I was obsessed with witches!

2.  Now that I’m a big girl I love mermaids!

3.  Cookie and Chicken, my two wonderful little sisters, are my best girlfriends.

4.  I taught my Mummy how to blog.

5.  For my birthday I am getting a mandolin off the beautiful Andi!

6.  Over the course of a very long time I plan to be able to skateboard and surf.

7.  Even though I want to, I know deep down I wouldn’t make a good mermaid because though I adore them, fish scare me.

8.  The average age people assume I am is 16.

Yay! All finished!

Now I have to nominate 8 bloggers to pass this lovely blog award to! So I nominate those who joined my first ever linky party! Which you can still link up to here.  Thank you! You’re all so very Stylish. I’ve also nominated a couple of favs!

CeCe's 20's Life

Beader Bubbe
Trails Net
Desire Empire
I'm Downtown
Proper Prim

Now on to the features!

Stamping Still

Stamping Still is my lovely Mummy’s blog! You should all go and check it out. She’s very crafty and talented at what she does. Here are some of her wonderful crafts:

Click on the pictures if you would like to see the post they were in.

Aren’t they gorgeous? Aside from just showcasing her cards, she also offers tutorials on different techniques and crafts. She is a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator and loves her job.

If you get a chance please stop over and say hello at Stamping Still. You’ll be glad you did.


Desire Empire

For my next feature, I literally found this blog just this morning, as I was lucky enough for her to join my linky party, which is still open for entries here. 

Desire Empire, from Sydney, Australia, has been around for only 7 days! I’m so happy that I get to jump on the band wagon of this blog so early in it’s life! This blog is definitely destined to become a Queen in the blogging world. Go check it out!

I think this picture sums up my love for this blog perfectly! The gorgeous white jug, the vintage Coca-Cola tray and the hanging surf board, what more could you want?

Please join my linky party while it’s still open! You may be my next feature!


Linking up with: 504 Main, Chic on a Shoestring, LambAround and Serenity Now.

    Hey Kirsty
    I'm getting so much lovin' out of this blog. But I would have to say yours is the sweetest I have had. Thanks for being such a great supporter. By the way, if I do make it to Queen status, in my own lunch time anyway, I want you as my number one Lady in Waiting.

    Best wishes for a great and successful linky party

    I always wanted to be a mermaid too...but I am terrified of sharks. I remember playing "Ariel" at the pool! :)

    Your mom is so talented!!!! Love the photos of her work. :)

    I have paid a visit to all the sites you nominated, and I must say you have an excellent selection, even if the only criteria for being nominated was participating in your linky party.
    Thanks for the nominations, once again. I have nominated my 8 and hope you will have the time to peruse them.

    ALSO: just and added thank you for the nomination and the linky party. It was a couple of things together, which includes you, that gained me more than 10 followers this past week. I have struggled just to get into double digits for 2.5 years, so I really appreciate your effort in this.

    Much love,
    N

    That's so lovely that you helped your Mum with setting up her own blog. It's funny to think of my girls helping me with things when they're all grown up!!

    Congratualtions on your award!
