An Award!! and A new Friend

Even though I'm probably one of the worst bloggers out there, I have managed to meet some really special new friends through my blog and the crafting blogs I surround myself with everyday. It's fun to get to know people in blogland that are too far away to ever have actually met in real life, but I find myself having so much in common with. Lately I have gotten to know a little more about Jani from Paper Compulsions and have found that she is just a wonderful lady! She really "gets" me, is a wonderful listener, and has given me lots of positive encouragement when I really needed it. She is also super talented and creative!

Go check out her blog and become a follower! You won't regret it!

Thanks Jani, for the award, and for just being there for me!

The Irresistibly Sweet Blog Award.

The rules for the award are the following: 
1) Send a thank you to the person who nominated you and include their link.
2) To accept this award, answer 7 random facts about yourself.
3) Pass the award on to at least 8 other awesome blog buddies.

I'm not really good with randomness, so I'll just spout off the first 7 things I can think of.

1. I got married when I was 19 and have been with my husband for almost 10 years!
2. I don't like to sleep, or go pee. They both seem like a huge waste of time and I postpone both as long as possible. (TMI! Lol!)
3. I have a ton of freckles. On my face, my shoulders and arms, even my knees.
4. I do not have a college degree, and it is one of my biggest regrets in life. Although, it's never too late to fix it! :-)
5. I am extremely shy. To the point of being borderline anti-social.
6.I love to play logic games and puzzles. Think crossword and sudoku on crack. Wanna try some? Go here: http://www.conceptispuzzles.com
7. This "random" list about me took me 2 hours to comprise! So much for just spouting off things lol! And that's how I get out of coming up with a 7th thing! Haha!
