I got this award from
Alison and I think it is SO neat! I don't know many bolgger people yet so I can't nominate many people:)
I really love to make things...scrapbooking, which I have been horrible about keep up with lately, hair bows for Ava, scrapbook letter...like the big ones you put on the wall, and all sorts of things for my house. A few posts ago I put up all the pictures of the things I have made for this house:) I just get so much joy and pride out of seeing things that I have made make others happy or just make our home a prettier place to be:)
All the girls I am nominating for this are inspirations to me and I enjoy going to their blogs and reading about their latest ideas!
Nester...of Course
Kelly...LOVE her recipes
Emily...what a wonderful inspiration as a mommy
Katie...oh how I LOVE her antiques...a girl after my own heart:)
Chris...I LOVE how crafty she is
I haven't ever met any of these girls...I just love their blogs!! They all inspire me!
So now, here are 10 honest things about me...
1)I am a complete clean freak. I didn't used to be like this but since I had Ava I am close to obsessive about my house being clean. We live on a dirt road so this is a next to impossible task that I battle every day!
2) I'd rather sit and read a good book than go out any day. Really, I could be a recluse if I had an endless supply of good books...good books meaning Nora Roberts type books:) I LOVE a good love story.
3) I HATE seriously hate unloading the dishwasher. It eats at me to have dishes in the sink but I really avoid unloading the dishwaser at all costs, to the point of getting mad at my husband for not unloading it for me:)
4) I don't want my litte girl to grow up. I seriously want her to stay little forever. Everyday she gets more independent and I am so proud of her, but it breaks my heart!
5) I LOVE to spray paint things. I will spray paint anything and I mean anything. I spray painted our halloween pumpkins red after Thanksgiving so we could keep them out and they would match my Christmas decor...I told you if it is paintable I will spray paint it lol
6) I LOVE a good deal. I end up buying things that I totally do need because they are such a good deal. Pitiful, but I just can't stop myself. It's like a game for me.
7) I really don't like working out but I started running and I "gasp" am starting to enjoy it. Don't tell anyone, but I just might stick with it this time:)
8) My mom is one of my very best friends. I love to spend time with her and we are alwys out shopping or something. I LOVE living next door to her.
9) I LOVE football. I mean LOVE it! And I have passed that on to Ava...which Roy really appreciates. I look forward to football season every year and I take it very seriously!
10) I have extreme anxiety. It drives me crazy and it comes out of no where. It started when I was pregnant and never went away.
Oh how I love the pink tree with all the lime green! AK loves it too and makes the most adorable face when she sees it lit up!
Well that's the end of my holiday tour! I hope yall enjoyed it! I am chomping at the bits to see all of your beautiful homes!!
We went to this little craft fair thing here this weekend. At least I guess that's what you would call it. There is the large group of people who live at this huge farm, and they hand make just about everything. Jellies, breads, soaps, candles, furniture, the list goes on and on. Anyway it was COLD, but fun. Sadly Ava was tired, and was having no part of the stroller. Good thing Daddy makes a good seat. All in all it was an experience and I am all for experiences:) The picture above is the only good one I got. No one was up for a photo op!
