Stylish Blogger Award

I am so super excited to have been awarded with the Stylish Blogger Award by non other than LogansCraftyMomma!! Can you believe she picked me!  This is my second blog award in a week and I am thrilled.  Thank you so much Carolanne!! Carolanne is a lady of truth, honesty and from the heart and I am lucky to have had the opportunity to participate in a blog hop with her recently and  always look forward to watching all her videos!  So thank you again Carolanne I truly appreciate it.

The best part of the award is to tell you "8" random facts that you may or may not know about me and pay it forward to 8 other talented ladies.  Although I wish I could choose all of you!

Random Facts:

1. I have a younger brother.
2.  I have 2 boys that will be turning 17 and 18 this year and I am only 35 so do the math!  Yes, I had them   very young.
3.  I love to go fishing.
4. I was introduced to scrapbooking through Creativve Memories about 12 years ago.
5.  I got Married September 11, 2010 after dating my now husband for 10 years!
6.  Last placed I travelled was to Las Vegas for our honeymoon which was a surprise planned by my husband.
7. I work full time in a Long Term Care Facility as an Administrative Assistant.
8. I love reality tv!!  Terrible I know!

So after getting to know me a little better I must pay it forward.  These 8 ladies whom I have chosen have inspired me in some way or other.  We all have to start off somewhere and I appreciate those that understand are clouded minds of the crafting world that others just may not get.  Unfortunately, there is not alot offered as far as crops ect where I live so it is nice to have a great community online.  You know you don't have to live in the same City, Province or Country to establish great friendships!  So thank you ladies!
