An Award!



I've been missing because we were living it up camping! Woo hoo. But it really didn't feel like camping, since I worked and we visited my grandmother in the hospital (she had back surgery).

At any rate, while I was out and about, I received a beautiful award from Kimbo (A Girl and a Glue Gun). She is awesome. She also probably thinks I don't care about this award since it's been several days! (Sorry- I do care!!!)


You should look and see what she did with a clear shower curtain! It's great! Check it out here


But my all time personal favorite is the Levi Apron!!! I love it! You can find it here. I made one pretty much the minute I saw it!


So the rules are that I need to share 7 things about me, and then pass the award on to 15 others. Well, here goes.

1. I just got a *full time* (with benefits) job at work, and that's pretty much a promotion! (so I'm pretty excited!)
2. My brother lives way out in (not so) sunny NORTHERN California (NOT San Francisco- I mean NORTH. Like almost Oregon north) and I miss him and wish he'd come back this direction.
3. I have the best parents in the world. Sorry if you thought yours were. :)
4. I just got an HTC Evo and it rocks my socks!
5. I love watching Medium, but I just started in the last year, so I have a DVR FULL of Medium episodes from all the reruns. Literally- it is full. 100%. It records about 2 or 3 a night and I dont' have nearly enough time to watch 2 or 3 a day!
6. I hate winter. I mean really. I. HATE. WINTER. Cold is not my friend. I freeze.
7. I am a little OCD about scents- like candles or air fresheners. They need to be season appropriate... For example, you can't burn/plug in Apple Cinnamon or Pine in summer. It's not okay.

All right- that was pretty hard to think of 7 random things. And besides, I'm sure no one wants to read 7 things about me anyway! :)

So, I'm passing this award on to:
1. Anna at Noodlehead- She has some amazing sewing tutorials and I love her header- drawn by her children
2. Susan at Living with Punks- She has such cute stuff! I love her pillow cover to messenger bag. I love anything that turns into a bag, I think!
3. Sam at Mom.Undecided- She's having tons of giveaways now to celebrate her birthday so check it out!
4. Katie at Paisley and Polkadots- The cutest little quilt and accessories on here!
5. Michelle at Dilly Dally and Flitter- The first blog post I read of hers, I swear I almost cried I laughed so hard. Then I called my aunt to read it to her and crack up again. :) She's great!
6. Tracey at I'm Just Your Average Mom- She's going through some tough times right now, but staying postitive and focused.
7. Larissa at Just Another Day in Paradise- She has a super cool felt bracelet tutorial.
8. Rhonda at Life As I See It- Beautiful photography!!!
9. Lisa at Moore Minutes= Love the camping party. I have thought about that for my son's 10th party... Yes, I actually think about things 6 years away...
10. Melissa at My Craftie Life- Lots of great ideas!
11. Alison at Oopsey Daisey- there is a delicious looking dessert on there! Woah... Watch out!
12. Elizabeth at Twelve Crafts Till Christmas- What a great idea to make a craft a month for christmas gifts! I love this blog!
13. Maria at You Craft Me Up- She has a super cool PVC pipe bow and arrow my son would seriously get in trouble with.
14. Rachelle at Fingerprints on the Fridge- She's probably had this award 100 times. She's seriously just that awesome.
15. Laura at Along For the Ride- She has a great 90 day kindness challenge (that I'm completely stinking at).

Well, folks, there it is. It took me FOREVER to finish this post! Thanks again, Kimbo, for the award!
