Award...Thanks Carin!

Thanks Carin for sharing the Sweet Friends award with me.  I was asked to list ten things that make me happy.  Something fun to think about so here is my list:


Things that bring me happiness:

  1. My Son, Brayden, definitely my greatest miracle
  2. My Three Children in Fur Coats, Jazpurr, Tinkerbella, and Twinkie Doo for their unconditional love
  3. Shopping for Second Hand Treasures and Antiques
  4. Bringing Happiness to Others .... Spoiling
  5. Cross Stitching and Buying More Stash (Addict for sure) lol
  6. Sunshine and Music...Country and Rock
  7. My Hubby, Mike, and the little things like Coffee in Bed, Mike's special recipe
  8. Family & Friends (Chatting, Camping, ATVing, Fishing, etc.) 
  9. Creating....My mind never sleeps!!
  10. Photography and Gardening (gates, tractors, barns, dirt, flowers, yard art)

That was hard to narrow down to only ten.  Now I would love to pass this award on for ten fabulous friends:

  • Terri
  • Deb
  • Cari
  • Siobhan
  • Pumpkin
  • Kellie
  • Jennifer
  • CarolynNC
  • Myra
  • Ranae
Wow, and I though the first ten were hard to narrow down.....personally, I think everyone that visits my blog deserves the Sweet Friend Award.  I enjoy reading your comments and I enjoy visiting your blogs for inspiration, eye candy and friendship.

An Award After The Oscars

I feel so honored to receive such a wonderful award Sharlotte!  It means so much knowing you thought of me for this award.  Upon acceptance, I was asked to tell of seven interesting or unknown facts about myself so here's the list:


1.  When I was in third grade my sister cut my hair off shoulder length, which at the time was sooo long it hung to my knees. 

2.  I was born on Joseph Smith's birthday (L.D.S.) which is December twenty-third.

3.  I became an Aunt to twin nieces when I was 8 years old.

4.  I am the youngest of three children.  I have one sister who is 12 years older than I am and a brother who is 8 years older.

5.  When I was about 20 years old I entered a Jello Contest here in Utah and I took first place in the salad category for my own "Cantaloupe Treat" recipe.  My larger than life photo and recipe was published in the Salt Lake Tribune.

6.  This is too funny, I can't believe I am sharing this, but......when I was three years old I ate so many homemade pickled beets that I peed in the bathtub and it turned the bath water beet red!!!  My mom used to love telling my boyfriends this story, so I figured why not let the whole world know!!! lol

7.  I have had lasik eye surgery twice and I still need to wear glasses to drive!

Now you know a few little tidbits about me you never knew before.  Next up, I am to pass this award on to seven blogs that I love and even though there are soooo many to chose from, I would love to nominate the following:

1. Loraine - Sew Be It

2. Deb -  Thread Gatherer

3. Yuko - Be Happy

4. Staci - Snippets and Stash

5.  Cari - Serene Stitches

6.  Terri - Chocolates for Breakfast, Stitching for Lunch
