My FIRST Blog Award!!!! OMG!!!

Thank you so much to Kathy from Cottage Garden Quilter for this honor!

I have very few followers but maybe that will change now!  Kathy has a lovely artful blog about quilting.  I met her when we were paired in an online Strawberry Swap which was so much fun!  Please take a minute when you can and check out Kathy's beautiful blog!  Scroll down to see my Smilebox featuring all the lovely things Kathy sent me in the swap including her handmade table runner....gorgeous!

7 TOP THINGS ABOUT ME:

1.  My favorite thing in this whole world are my kids.  I never thought I would be able to have them, so to be blessed with 3 is truly a miracle.  

2.  I love to sing and wish that I had more time for that.  I miss being in plays and choirs, but there is just not enough time in our busy lives right now.

3.  There are so many crafts that I like to do.....I am learning to sew, I like to make hairbows for my little lady, and I would really like to learn to quilt someday....I also scrapbook, paint and decorate cupcakes.

4.  My favorite color is pink but I am slowly leaning towards turquoise lately....though I don't think I will ever give up my love of all things Princess and Pink. Having a girly girl in the house and really opened my whole pink world up!  :)

5.   I am an organizational mess and am trying to change that....I really wish I could hire a cleaning lady....it's the day to day stuff that gives me the most issue!

6.  I am a certified teacher K-6 but only taught one year before having my kids....I have been a SAHM since then.  And while parenting is WAY harder then being a nanny ever was.....it is the best thing I have ever done and I don't miss teaching AT ALL!

7.  I love to make cupcakes and I would love to go to Pastry School and learn all the cool techniques and then open up a bakery/coffee shop....this would also satisfy my coffee addiction! LOL
