Wow! It's been a while since I've actually gotten an award! LOL!! This is quite exciting!!!
Deb Naylor over at The Flying Stamper has given me the "Stylish Blogger Award"! Thank you, Deb!! I am so excited to receive this award!
There are some rules when a blog receives the award:
1. Thank and link back to the person who gave you the award.
2. Share 8 things about yourself.
3. Give the award to 8 bloggers that you have recently discovered.
4. Contact those bloggers and tell them about their award
8 Facts About Me
1. I was born & raised in Hixson, TN - a suburb of Chattanooga.
2. Sewing is the very first craft that I ever loved, and I made all of my Barbie's clothes. (If I ever owned a craft store, it would be a quilt store!)
3. I learned to sew on my grandmother's treadle sewing machine. I now own that sewing machine.
4. I was a majorette in high school.
5. I have never been drunk! (no one ever believes that one....especially my kids!! But it's true!!)
6. My great-grandmother was a red-headed, full-blooded, Cherokee Indian.
7. My favorite job (ever) was the 10 years I spent as an Insurance Underwriter for Provident Life Insurance (now UNUM). Ironically, my youngest son is now doing the same thing, and he loves it, too!
8. My all-time-favorite car is a '69 Camaro. That's the first car I ever owned. It was given to me by my dad for graduation (no, I didn't graduate in 1969!!).
Now, the difficult part of the award - passing it on!! There are soooo many craft sites out there that I love to visit, that makes it hard to narrow it down to only 8. I've decided to NOT LIMIT THEM TO STAMPING SITES!! My guess is that most of you also have tons of stamping sites that you love to visit - so I am going to share the first half of my 8 by listing stamping sites. The last 4 are other random sites - crafting sites - that I adore. I hope you visit them all & enjoy them as much as I do!!
Oh, and please leave a comment! Everyone needs some blog lovin' from time to time!!
