So, I've been tagged a few times over the past weeks and I'm tryin' to catch up! So, this one is courtesy of my girl Rockerchic who shared her dirty little secrets and now expects me to share mine!

THE RULES:

~ Link to your tagger and list these rules on your blog.
~ Share 7 facts about yourself on your blog, some random, some weird.
~ Tag 7 people at the end of your post by leaving their name as well as links to their blog.
~ Let them know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

SEVEN WEIRD OR RANDOM FACTS ABOUT ME!

#1: I'm ambidexterous because I started out as a lefty and for whatever reason my kindegarten teachers thought I should conform and use my right hand, but even though my parents nixed that nonsense all I can really do with my left hand is write!

#2: My friends compare me to Joan from the sitcom "Girlfriends" and I've even been compared to Monica on friends...I guess I can admit I'm a little anal at times, especially when it comes to symmetry (in decorating my house, papercrafting...), but what's wrong with a little perfection now and then?

#3: I love decorating my house for Christmas! I put a little holiday cheer in each room in my house (including bathrooms...LOL). Everyone has their own wreath on their door and I put up a tree in almost every room...

#4: I think meals like burgers & fries, sandwich & chips, pancakes & bacon etc. were made just for me! Actually, I'm probably a little obsessive about how I eat my meals, I have to eat them proportionately so I do things like ration my fries so I have enough to go with each bite of burger, the same goes for sandwiches and chips, and I get a little bothered if I run out of bacon before I've finished my pancakes...I do share my food with hubby and kids, but there's always the concern that they'll throw things off-balance!

#5: When I was a kid I used to eat bologna sandwiches along with a bowl of cheerios for breakfast, EVERY MORNING!!

#6: Oh, while we're on strange eating habits, my mom says I used to bite off the stick of butter out of the refrigerator...now that's just gross!

#7: What could possibly top the eating butter thing...mmmm....I have a freakish memory when it comes to remembering faces. I tripped my hubby out once at the mall when I spotted someone I hadn't seen in about 15-18 years (when we were kids) and the kicker was we weren't even in our hometown!

So, that's enough about me. Can't wait to hear some interesting little trivia about these mamas:

Christmas Creations

I just can't believe that Christmas is only 19 days away! This season is so busy for us; my daughter's birthday is sandwiched in between Thanksgiving and Christmas and then we celebrate a number of birthday's and anniversaries in January. Add being pregnant to all of that and I don't know how I managed to make anything new! But I found so much inspiration just thinking about the Reason for the Season. I especially like these latest tags and Family scrapbook Album I made and was soooo reluctant to list them in my Etsy shop! Think I'll just have to make some more tags for the gifts I'm giving.

What I'm Most Thankful For...

in 2008 are my GOD, FAMILY, HEALTH, GOOD FRIENDS AND LOVE IN MY LIFE! I am also grateful for the precious little life that will join our family in just a couple of months. As my 5-yr. old daughter told me, then our family will be complete. I'm happy that I reconnected with several old classmates of mine, some of whom I hadn't seen in over 20 years, thanks to Facebook! It was better than a class reunion and I look forward to reestablishing those ties we once shared. Browsing through all of their pictures and profiles just brought back so many warm memories of the Fun and Wacky times we had over the years. It's amazing how some people look exactly the same and others I probably wouldn't recognize if I saw them on the street. I am very appreciative of the support I've received from and the opportunity to serve all of my fellow Etsy teams members. Imagine, people wanting to help you in business with no expectation of material gain or benefit to themselves...WOW! And I can't wait until we can spend time with close friends who are like family to us today...and of course eat!!! Love and Blessings to all!

I was tickled pink when my blog buddy Stampinmom presented me with this award! I love reading her blog and seeing what new and fun activities she's into, so check out her blog when you have a chance.
The Rules for the Award are as follows:

1. Mention the blog that gave you the award & comment on their blog when you post the award.

2. List 6 things you VALUE & 6 things you DON'T VALUE.

3. Then, pass the award onto 6 other blog buddies! Easy, peasy...here goes...

Things I value

1. LIFE

2. My incredible family
3. LOVE

4. Freedom/being an American

5. MY HEALTH

6. Each Day

Things I don't value (this is a little tough since I try really hard to find a little value in everything, even the worst situation), but I will keep to the rules!


1. Ignorance (although it could be an opportunity to educate someone!)

2. Mean-spiritedness

3. Hot, humid weather (unless of course I'm at the beach on some island that ends in i, i.e Maui, Capri, etc.)

4. Laziness

5. Bad restaurant experience (I love food, and when the food or the service is bad it makes me unhappy)

6. To piggyback on #5, bad shopping experience (I enjoy shopping and a rotten attitude from a salesperson can ruin it in seconds!).

I am passin' this on to the following (includes all my girls from the Super Giveaway Committee because they are so fly!):
