I'm puttin' on my dancin' shoes to celebrate being the latest Moxie Fabber of the Week! I was so excited to receive an email from Cath inviting me to join this fabulous list of crafters. In fact, I was so excited that I answered all my questions and had them back to her within 24 hours. LOL! Reading it back now, I wish I'd spent a little more time pondering it all but c'est la vie. It is done. And I'm still excited.
The question that stumped me most was the one asking about a paper crafter that you admire. Just one? Not possible. I was only able to mention a few in my interview but I'm going to take a page out of Lynn Mangan's book and mention more people here.
In the (nearly) 3 years that I've been blogging I have "met" so many incredible paper crafters. This crafty blogging community never ceases to amaze me - people cheer each other on, share tips, tricks and even crafty stash and offer support during life's rougher moments. I love finding new crafters, learning from their style and watching their creative evolution.
I follow a ridiculous number of blogs. Sometimes I think I spend more time blog-surfing than crafting but there's just so much yumminess to see. There are some women though who not only continually amaze me with their creations but have also been sweet, supportive and made me laugh along the way. I am so grateful to each and every one of them for the little kindnesses they've bestowed on me with their comments, messages and the occasional surprise gift. Some of these names are well known in our blogging world but I encourage you to check out any that you don't recognise as each one of them is far too awesome to be missed! The only order to the list is that it's (roughly) chronological in terms of when I found them:
Lynn Mangan
Karen Baker
Kim Singdahlsen
Laurie Willison
Therese Calvird
Emily Leiphart
Kasia Curry
Amy Tsuruta

That's fantastic Jen, totally awesome news for me to come home to and something you thoroughly deserve ... big love to you and the fam xxx
I made your list! :-) Thanks, Jen! You're on my "list", too.
Congratulations on being named Moxie Fabber of the week! I always knew that you were Moxie Fab, so it is no surprise! You look good with a shaved head, and such a lovely daughter you are to support your Mum that way. I hope your Mum is back to full health in super-quick time.
After seeing the tribute on MFW, I just HAD to come check you out. I don't follow a lot of blogs for the very reason you mentioned (who has the time?) but I'm definitely adding yours to my list. I applaud you in your support of your mother and the friend you have been to unseen bloggy friends. Kudos to you!
I was SO excited to see you as this week's Moxie Fabber, Jen! You already know I love your card style and chatting back and forth with you. Enjoy the well-earned tribute! :)
Jen, this is SO very well deserved, my friend! You are such an inspiration yourself with those fantastic, smile-evoking CAS cards of yours! :) I am so excited for you!!!! When I saw my name on your list I was thinking, "Really?!!" It is such an honor to have you as a CASology team mate and also as a friend. Hugs!
Congratulations in a huge way for being Moxie Fab. Of course, I am the last to know because I have been absent in blog land for just a few days, which is all it takes to fall behind. You will like part of the reason--we got a puppy--my very first dog. A real sweetie, but time consuming. Anyhoo--I have known forever that you are moxie fab, and sweet as sugar, too. But, now it is official, and I could not be happier for you. I am heading over right now to learn more about you. And, thank you from the bottom of my heart for putting me on your list. I am floored to be in such company.
Girl!!!!! You are Moxie Fab and you sooooooooooooo DESERVE it!!!! I LURVE you....that is all!!!! So so so so so so happy for ya!!! Woot Woot!! :) :)
Thanks for the love!!! You ROCK, Miss Lady!!! I am soooooo stoked that we are blog buds!!! Woot Woot!!! :) :)

You are so totally Moxie Jen! Loved loved reading more about you and got just a little choked up reading about your mum, she is so lucky to have you around, I'll bet she knows you are Moxie too! Hugs and kisses across the sea miles GF, Therese x
I was super happy to see your gorgeous face on the Moxie Fab blog! I couldn't have picked a more FAB person to be featured. You are an amazing woman, Jen and I'm SO SO happy to have gotten to know you.
Jen!!! Yay!! Congrats girl! You are fabulous! So deserving of this, my dear!! Hugs to you!
Congratulations and so well deserved Miss Jen. I find you equally as awesome as Cath does, and continue to love your creations. I've had some serious family problems come my way in the last months and I'm so sorry that I haven't been by here to comment every time you post one of your magnificent creations. I hope that my life will get back to normal someday (soon?) and that I can continue to devote the time needed to express my awe at your inspiring creations! Congratulations again for being Moxie Fab, you deserve it!
Congrats on your Moxie Fab status! It was fun reading more about you and seeing so many of your fantastic creations in one post.
Of COURSE you're Moxie Fab, Jen!! We've all known that for a long time! :D Huge, HUGE congratulations on being spotlighted -- it couldn't have happened to a nicer girl. :o) And shaving your head to support your mum? You are greater than great. I really hope she's doing well!
Thank you so much for the shout-out, Jen -- it really gave me the warm & fuzzies when I saw that.
Humble and I so appreciate Atticus' sloppy kisses, and we're sending some right back with the addition of squishy hugs. :D Humble thinks Atticus is "Pawesome". You are, too!!
