I Wear Socks to Bed.

I was tagged by Terri from Sleepless Nights With The Harlans.

So, here goes...

10 HONEST THINGS ABOUT ME.

1. I keep getting more & more forgetful. It started happening after I had kids & it gets worse & worse. And the fact that I get lost REALLY easily is not a good combo.

2.I used to keep my things so neat & tidy. Not so much anymore. I try, though. Not very hard.

3. I hate talking on the phone. And I'm not that great at keeping up correspondence with my friends & family. That doesn't mean I don't love you though. And you all know who you are.

4. I need to lose 40 pounds. It's all that baby weight. (Who cares if my youngest is 4 1/2. It's still her fault.) But seriously, I'm gonna start Tae Bo again.

5. I bite my fingernails. They are always unkempt. I am NOT a froo froo manicure girl. Although, I wish I were more girly. In fact, screw it. I'm paintin' my nails tomorrow. Who cares if they're bit down to the nubbin's?

6. I don't want to get old. Not because I'm afraid of wrinkles. Or saggy body parts. I'm not sure why exactly.

7. I spend way too much time on the computer. (My Etsy shop, blogging, editing photos...)

8. I wear socks to bed.

9. I'm not a fan of my food touching. If it happens sometimes then that's o.k. But, THE WORST foods that could ever touch are when my eggs touch the syrup from my pancakes. GROOOOOSSSSSS!

10. When I plop my head down on the pillow every night, it takes me a while to fall asleep. My mind is always clicking & ticking. Often I even have a notepad next to me so I can jot down ideas or thoughts.

I was also given an award by the fellas over at Dajon Designs. They discovered me & my little ole blog during the One World One Heart giveaway event & I'm pleased they've decided I'm one of their "favorites"! Thank you!

OK, so I'm not so great at passing the meme torch, so if you leave a comment, you have to declare one honest thing about yourself.

I've Been Awarded & Tagged!

I was given two awards recently. And I must be polite & mention them.

The first was given to me by Anna at Marmadaisy & originated from Arte y Pico. This award is to be passed to those that inspire & stimulate you. Anna is full of craftiness & silliness & goofiness & all the things I really like. I feel totally honored to have ever inspired you miss Anna.

So, I pass this award to....

...Laura at katydiddys. Our love of cupcakes brought us together & I'm so glad it did! Her artwork is sweet & simple & I'm inspired by her "Just go for it! You can do it!" attitude. She is very real & grounded & honest & is always someone I can bounce ideas off of, or ask questions & often she takes my hand & leads me & I appreciate her very much.


...Jerusalem at my little life. She makes beautiful things & says beautiful things & I enjoy watching her journey because often times it is my own.


...Jeanetta at splendid things. She is a super artist & fantastic cornball. She is one of those people that I feel I've known for a long time. I always smile when I see I have a comment or email from my sweet splendid Jeanetta.

I was also given this award from Kara at Innocent Charms Chats. Thanks Kara--I'm happy to be associated with anything sparkly!




Scrappy Sue also tagged me. So, here are 7 random facts about me...
1. OK, here's a pet peeve. You know how when you leave a comment on someones blog & every once in a while you have to type in a "code" of letters that are sort of twisted & blurred for their "security" purposes? You know what I'm talking about? It's to insure you aren't some robot computer trying to have your way with their computer. Well, sometimes I cannot even understand the letters that are all twisted & blurred. Sometimes it takes me, like 4 or 5 tries to figure out if I'm looking at a "w" or two "v's". Am I making any sense here? Or is it just me?

2. I used to be a SUPER clean person as a kid/teen. I was such an awful perfectionist. That has all changed. I am trying to put a date on it, but I think it was around the time I got married that I just let it go. I think all those years of HAVING to have to everything in its proper spot just filled me up & I'm over it now. I'm not a slob. I don't live in a pigsty, but I can accept a bit of a mess.

3. I can't dance. But as a teen I always thought it would be the coolest thing to be a dancer. Not ballroom, but like on Broadway or in my favorite show ever--STOMP! I love watching all those dance shows on TV now too--especially that Randy Jackson one, America's Best Dance Crew.

4. Egg rolls are one of my favoritest foods ever. Have I mentioned this one before? Frozen, served at a restaurant, made from scratch...I don't care. As long as they are yummy. I like to dip them in ketchup or really good sweet-n-sour sauce. If a restaurant has crappy egg rolls, I'll probably never eat there again.

5. I had an ingrown toenail surgically removed about 5 years ago. How does that topic sit after reading about egg rolls?

6. When I was in about the 5th grade my friend & I decided to make eyeshadow & blush out of crushed pieces of chalk. We thought we were so clever. Until her mom overheard us talking about our concoction & told us to stop. I was obsessed with playing with makeup as a kid with my friends. I wasn't allowed to wear makeup until the 7th grade though, when I was 13.

7.No matter how "weighty" or thin I've been my whole life, I've always had chubby knees.

Speaking of awards & such, Mr. WhiMSy love is actually going to sit with me this evening & watch the Oscars. I'll be sure & do something crafty 'cause I can't just sit still & do nothin'!
