Awards

I recieved this award this week from Meg at In the Loop. Thanks again Meg!

Upon reciept of this award, here are the duties:
1. Thank and link back to the person who gave me this award.

2. Share 7 things about yourself.
3. Award 15 bloggers. (I am doing a few less...)
4. Contact these bloggers and tell them about the award.

1. I hate melted cheese, I order pizza without cheese, I make lasagne without cheese. I don't even like non-melted cheese in things. No cheese in salads, on sandwiches, nothing! I will eat string cheese though.
2. I got lost at Disneyland when I was like 8. Pretty scary few hours since I didn't go to park workers, cause I was afraid someone would steal me??
3. I am a money spender, and yet I mostly can't bring myself to spend money on fun things (like a sillouette!grr). Instead I put it in savings, what little there is and dream of actually getting guts enough to spend.
4. I am moving in 5 months and I am not sure where. My husband is finally going to be done with school! Hooray...now if we could just land the job he wants!
5. My favorite thing to do is hang out at home in my pj's. I would much rather just chill with some treats and a good show with my family then be out on the town.
6. I struggle with my weight, it feels like a losing battle!
7. I grew up on a cattle ranch and still dream of moving on some land of my own in the middle of nowhere with the biggest craft room ever!

Enough about me!
Onto some more deserving people. This was a little tricky. I know of so many fun blogs, but a lot of them have already recieved this award, I tried to find people that haven't. I realized that there are so many more fun blogs out there than I know of and I really want to follow more of them. Because of lack of time, I usually only have time to go through and read the new posts on the blogs I subscribe to in google reader and following and some in the linky parties I participate in. So if you have an awesome blog...leave me a comment and I will come check it out and follow you too!

And the award goes to:
1. Jaimee at Craft Interrupted
2. Tammy at the Sweet Spot
3. Echoes of Laughter
4. Eye Spy DIY
5. Scissors and Spatula's
6. The Autocrat

Aw Shucks...

Meg wrote a sweet little post about me today. It is so fun to know that people like some of what you do and enjoy the crafts you share! I love looking for inspiration and sharing common interests, its made crafting so enjoyable to share and get feedback! I am really so flattered Meg, thank you! Click on her button above to check out her blog.

She also gave me this...my first award!

I will be back later tonight or tomorrow first thing to pass on the award to other bloggers! Right now I have a photo session that needs editing and nighttime is the only time I get any work done (not that I procrastinate...). Tell me I'm not the only one?
