A Stylish Blogger Award

I am more than honoured to receive this lovely Award from Patrice (Spring Blossom Musings):-
A big thank you goes out to everyone who checks into my blog and makes me feel special. I just love reading all the comments.

Now the rules are:

1. That I thank and link to the person who passed the Award my way (waving to Patrice);
2. Share 8 things about myself (had to scratch really hard here);
3. Pass it on to 8 others (now there are so many lovely blogs but I only put 4); and
4. Let them know about the Award (will do).

Okay where do I start:-

1. Like Patrice, I have a few craft items still uncomplete (one day!!);
2. I enjoy peace and quiet, but with 4 kids that is hard;
3. I don't mind grocery shopping, but hate working out meals for the week;
4. I am the most unco-ordinated person but this year I would like to try Zumba;
5. After many "almost" attempts I finally signed up to Facebook;
6. I really used to like the rain but after having so much of it the last few months, I dislike it!!
7. I am very much a "homebody", and venture out once a week to grocery shop. Having a mischevious 3 year old can do that to you!!!
8. The only thing I detest about school holidays is the covering of school books. I have many fights with the contact.

Now for the four bloggers I would like to pass this Award on to:-

1. Karen T
2. Tammy
3. Jodene
4. Fiona

Happy stamping,

An Award - Who Me?

I was most surprised to receive this award from the very lovely and talented Nikki Stalker and am told to pass it on to 10 other bloggers that I admire and also state 10 things about myself. I was most flattered with this as I am not a Demonstrator but I do so love all of the Stampin Up products. So without further ado here I go:-

Here are the 10 other blogs I have decided to pass this award on to and I must also apologise to anyone if they have already received one (just think yourself extra special!!). In no particular order:-

1. Karen Thomas;

2. Jodene Tripp;

3. Tammy Hanlon;

4. Fiona Platzer;

5. Sonia Garbutt;

6. Kerri Donsky;

7. Linda Craven;

8. Sharlene Meyer;

9. Kirsty Brown;

10. Louise Ryan.

Although I only know Karen personally, I can admit to being a blog stalker of the others who are all such an inspiration to me.

Now for the 10 things about me:-

1. I am a 40 year old mum of four children, 3 boys and 1 girl, ranging in age from 17 to 3.

2. My husband and I have been together for 23 years and married for 19 1/2 years.

3. I was previously a Legal Secretary before staying at home with my children.

4. I, like Nikki, am a Gemini and so is my daughter.

5. I am a big Twilight fan (can I admit that at my age!!).

6. I also enjoy cross stitch as well as my passion for card making.

7. I love camping although don't seem to get there as often as I would like.

8. I love going to the movies with my daughter, especially when it's just the two of us.

9. My favourite TV shows are Grey's Anatomy, Brothers & Sisters, Master Chef (although I would love to cook like them but it will never happen) and Castle.

10. My favourite flowers would be Gardenias, Frangipanis and Roses (only I can't seem to grow them!!)
