Award recognitions...finally!!!!!

 I am sorry, I am such a slacker.  I haven't posted my award recipient blogs for some of the awards I have received in the past month.  With vacations, no internet during those vacations, and trying to get projects going, etc. (I know...excuses, excuses!)  I haven't paid it forward to my wonderful bloggy friends.  I have thanked those that awarded me, though, so that's 1 for me, right? 

Alright...for the Versatile Blogger Award, I received this from Tisha from Tisha's Craft Cove, Jenn from Craftyfulgardens, Janice from Cricutology, Laurie from Scrapsbysissy, Lala from Scrappinwithlala, Annie from anniebeescraftroom and Kathlee from kathleessnippitsncricuts.  Thanks so much for thinking of me, ladies!!!!!  Now, everyone, please visit each of their awesome sites, you won't regret it...they are awesome crafters :)

The rules for this award is to Share 7 things about yourself, and share this with 15 wonderful blogs of your choice, let them know you have awarded this to them, so they can then pay it forward.   Be sure to post this award on your blog.

7 things about myself:

1. I am a Sagitarrius.
2. I will be 40 in December...eek!  (good I don't feel like it, huh?)
3. I just had my 15 year wedding anniversary last Friday.
4. I hate the snow, but hate the heat too, I'm rarely weather comfortable!  
5. I love to blog, and I'm glad to say I have made a few crafty friends, and that makes me soooo happy!
6. My parents and brother live 1hr 15 min away from me, but with gas prices (almost $5 in Skokie!!!), it may as well be another state, and we don't visit as often as I would like.
7. I have a ton of ribbon and paper...I think I have a problem...lol!
