1) thank the person who gave this award to me and link it back to their blog
2) share 8 things about myself
3) pass this award to 8 other individuals that I have recently discovered
4) leave a comment so that they can pass along the recognition!
OK--So I have to share 8 things about myself:
1) I have been a Stampin' Up Demonstrator for over 6 years now and never tire of stamping!
2) I have two adorable kitties (Newton and Hobbes) and a husband of 6 years, but no kids... leaves more time for stamping!
3) I have a weakness for anything hello kitty!
4) I live in Wisconsin and about this time every year when it's still cold and snowy I wonder why...
5) My favorite food is pretty much anything mexican, especially tacos with a margarita!
6) I've been a crafter all my life but so far stamping is my favorite. I'm starting to branch out a bit though and just bought some patterns and plan on tuning up my sewing machine!!
7) I'm a closet sci-fi fan and especially love dr. who!
8) My favorite holiday is Halloween but I love making cards and gifts for all of them!
Ok. Now I need to pass on the love and nominate 8 blogs I have recently enjoyed -check them out when you get a chance!
