Good morning everyone and happy November to you!
I love the month of November - fall seems to be finally arriving in the deep south, and there is still time to enjoy it before the panic of preparing for Christmas sets in! And, while I am thankful and grateful for my blessings always - there is just something about the month of November that makes me even more so. So, today's post seems very appropriate because I am very thankful for all the wonderfully talented, inspiring, generous crafters I have met in bloggy land. A few of these special ladies have seen fit to pass on a sweet blog award to me and I want to share that award today....
Here are the rules:
1) Include award logo in blog post and thank the blogger who gave it to you & include a link back.
2) Answer 10 questions about yourself that you have made up yourself.
3) Nominate 10-12 bloggers for the award and contact them at their blog site to inform them.
Like I said, this award was passed onto me by some very special, bloggy friends:
Annette at My Mind's Dust Bunnies
Shelly at My Paper Love
Karon at Karon's Krafty Korner
Moni at Craft Moni
A special thank you to each of my talented friends!
Ok, so onto the questions!
1. How long have you been married? I married my very best friend, soul mate and biggest fan 32 years ago.
2. How many children do you have? - We have two children - Christopher is 31 years old and Matthew is about to turn 30...yikes...my kids are old!
3. How many grandchildren do you have? Oh...thanks for asking! We have been blessed with 3 amazing, darling, beautiful grandchildren! Emma is almost 8 years old, Blake is 3 years old and Brayden is 14 months old. Did I mention that they are beautiful?
4. Any pets? - One terribly spoiled Yorkie named Lola (she's about to celebrate her 1st birthday)!
5. What is your favorite (at the moment) line of paper? October Afternoon! ♥
6. What technique would you like to master? - Blending and shading with my Copics
7. What music do you listen to while crafting? - Ok, I am a child of the 70's - The Eagles, Eric Clapton, Bee Gees (yes the Bee Gees), Simon and Garfunkel, all of those oldies!
8. What is your favorite snack while crafting? Coffee and Chocolate - no question!
9. Do you craft more in the morning or at night? - I am definitely a night owl...always have been and I guess I always will be. I get my second wind around 10:00 and night and I'm good to go for 2 or 3 more hours.
10. What's your idea of the perfect day? - Let's see...
Wake up around 10 or 11 in the morning
Have someone bring me breakfast in bed (lots of coffee, a rose in a vase would be nice also)
Take a leisurely shower and have someone do my hair and make up
Go to a late lunch with my girlfriends
Receive hugs and kisses from all my children and grandchildren
Come home, take a nap and refresh myself before dining out with my hubby
After dinner enjoy some crafty time with my endless supply of brand new crafting toys
Have a nice long soak in a bubble bath with a dish of chocolates and a new book
Get ready for bed and sweet dreams of doing it all again the next day.
(Ok, so I obliviously live in a fantasy world...but a girl can dream...right?)
Ok, this post suddenly became a lot longer than I had intended!
I am going to wrap this up now by passing this award on to all of my sweet, crafty friends out there in blog land! I don't know anyone who does not deserve this one, so if you are a visitor to my blog - please feel free to post this one on your blog!
Thanks for stopping by today and I'll be seeing you soon with another project!
Until next time,
congrats on your well deserved award :)
