A Tag and An Award

Good Morning!

I wanted to share a wonderful award, which I received from my friend Jo. This is just the sweetest friendship poem/award. Jo and I met through blogging, one day she stumbled across my blog and decided to email me, I am so grateful for that. We became fast friends and I cherish that friendship with her. Thank you so much for everything, Jo! {{{HUGS}}}

I would like to share this friendship award with all of the friends I've made through blogging. I look forward to sharing our art and support and of course our conversations.

I also wanted to mention that I received a Tag from Jennifer, from The Buck Stamps Here. Jennifer is an awesomely talented crafter and I'm honored that she tagged my blog! This tag was to share 7 random/weird facts about you. I've already received this tag a couple times before so if you want to see my answers you can click this LINK. Thanks Jennifer, it was nice to learn about you, thanks for sharing your personal stories.

Hope everyone is having a good weekend. I'll be back soon with a weekly tutorial. Happy Stamping!! :)

I've Been Tagged...

I was tagged by my friend Jo, so here goes...

What were you doing ten years ago?
Ten years ago I was in my junior year in college. Wow, that seems like forever ago! I was taking classes for my BA in English. I was living with my now husband in Dover, NH. I worked part time for the University of NH housing department. Completely different life from what I have now. And that English degree, well it isn't exactly working for me at the moment!

What were you doing one year ago?
One year ago I was doing pretty much what I do now, staying home with my kids and being a mom. My son was 3 and my daughter had just turned one. So I was chasing after them most days. I had just started out as a demo with Stampin' Up! a month earlier. So I'm sure that I was stamping too!

Name your five favorite snacks...
Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate, chocolate, oh yeah and did I say chocolate!

Name five things you would do if you were a millionaire...
Well, definitely buy a new house. Although I really love the one we live in, I'd like for it to be somewhere with a little more land and closer to family and craft room would be sweet! I'd go on a major shopping spree, not that I want much, but one can never have too many stamps, right ladies! I'd give some to family and friends and then some to charity. And I'd travel the world, I'd love to go to Greece and Italy someday.

Name five things you like doing...
Spending time as a family, stamping/crafting, sleeping, watching movies, blogging/chatting with friends.

Name five things you would never wear again...
Mini skirts, a bikini, hair in a big poofy thing at the front, you know that 80's hair style we all had, belly shirts, and Halloween costumes.

Name your five favorite toys...
Well of course all my Stampin' Up! supplies, I couldn't create with them. The computer, which is my life line to the outside world. The DVR for our TV, we couldn't live without it. With two young children we have to record everything. The Nintendo Wii, when I get to use it. I can't think of anything else.

Now, it's my turn to tag five more people. I tag... Erin, Elisa, Denise, Lynn, and Annie. These are some of my blogging sisters and new friends. Hope you girls get a chance to tell us a little more about you. You just need to answer these few questions and then tag 5 more bloggers. Have fun! :)
