Last week I received this ‘Stylish Blogger Award’ from Tanya Bell and slacko me is only just getting around to posting about it.

Now the rules are:

1. That I thank and link to the person who passed the Award my way;
2. Share 8 things about myself;
3. Pass it on to 8 others; and
4. Let them know about the Award.

So here goes….

Thank you Tanya for selecting me to pass the award on to. 

To share 8 things with you (and hopefully not bore you all in the process)

1. I’m a Gemini.

2. The first car I owned was a Holden Gemini.

3. Before I started stamping I did lots of other crafts (spinning, knitting, crochet, cross-stitch, sewing, machine embroidery & applique, patchwork & quilting, smocking) but now it’s 99% just stamping.

4. I love to read. Always have.

5. I used to be skinny until I had my 2nd, 3rd & 4th child. (I’m sure many can relate to this one…..lol)

6. I’m a Coke addict….(Coca Cola that is………)

7. Some people would same I’m ‘anal’. I like things to be right especially with my craft. Things have to be straight and as near perfect, if not perfect, as they can be.

8. I would rather clean a toilet than do the ironing.  (That sounds pretty gross when you think about it.)

Hopefully I gave you all a laugh.

Now for the 8 blogs that I’d like to give this award to, in no particular order…..    

1. Diane Barnes http://dianebarnes.blogspot.com/

2. Fiona Platzer http://vineyardstamper.blogspot.com/

6. Sandra Azzopardi http://www.sandrasstampingspot.blogspot.com/

Now I’m off to let them all know..

Till next time….

I don’t often participate in these awards and passing them on but seeing how it came from a beautiful lady, Louise Sutton, I will. Louise and I have a few things in common but you’ll have to read below and visit her blog to work out what they are…..

Now the conditions of this award are that I have to pass it on to 10 other Beautiful Bloggers and also list 10 things about myself.

First up is the 10 Beautiful Blogs that I’m going to give this award to and they are, in no particular order…..

Marelle Taylor – my most wonderful upline

Meighan Wheller – my dear friend and neighbour

Katie Halden – friend and downline

Leonie Schroder – friend and fellow demonstrator

Jodene Tripp – fellow demonstrator

Karen Gowar

Teneale Williams – fellow demonstrator

Lisa Ryder – fellow demonstrator

Kirrily Matthews – fellow demonstrator

Sandy Quail – fellow demonstrator

Now for the 10 things about me.

1. I’ll be married for 15 years this August.
2. I was married at home with just 4 close friends as witnesses.
3. I have 4 daughters – Heather 14yrs, Courtney 11yrs, Lauren 10yrs (next Saturday) and Brooke 8yrs. (Louise has 4 children also but not all girls)
4. June 3rd will be my 40th Birthday. (Louise is just under a week older than me so we are both Gemini’s)
5. I don’t recall ever having an actual birthday party so this year I am.
6. I’m going to the Stampin’ Up! Convention again this year which means I’ve been to all 4 and each one is just as exciting to attend.
7. I have an older brother and 2 younger sisters and between us we have 10 children with only 1 boy and my brother has no children.
8. I love to read but don’t like borrowing from the library. I prefer to buy my own books and I now have my own small library although I don’t often reread a book. The exception to this has been the Twilight Saga.
9. I love watching all the CSI and NCIS TV Shows, along with Smallville, Grey’s Anatomy, Private Practice, Supernaturals, Criminal Minds, The Vampire Diaries and a few others. These are usually the only things I watch though and hardly ever have the TV on before 8:30pm.
10. I hate being late. Being late means I’m unorganised and I don’t like to be. I actually get quiet annoyed with myself when I don’t get things done on time or arrive late to an appointment.

I hope I haven’t bored you too much.

Have a great Sunday. I’ll be celebrating my Sister-In-Laws 30th Wedding Anniversary.

Till next time…..
