Pauline Kolochuk (The Pursuit of Stampin'ess) is so wonderful to have given me the Cherry on Top Award for my blog! I was so surprised and flattered - thank you so much, Pauline!!! She has a great blog full of beautiful creations - please be sure to stop by her blog to say hello.
Now, with receiving this awesome award, I have the opportunity to tell you 3 things about myself and pass the award onto 5 other talented bloggers - so many to choose from!
First, about me...
1. I love to sing! I've been singing for as long as I can remember - it started with the church I grew up in and continued throughout high school and college (choir, show choir, musicals, etc). Now I mostly just sing in the shower or the car, and occasionally you can find me at a karaoke bar :). Oh, and I never miss an episode of American Idol!
2. I had open-heart surgery when I was 18 to repair an atrial-septal defect (hole in my heart). I was born with it, but it wasn't discovered until just before I left for college. That experience, along with losing my mother to colon cancer a year later, has given me a special perspective which has played a major role in where I am today and how I live my life. I lived through those experiences and they have given me strength.
3. Spiders and cockroaches absolutely freak me out - and what do you know, we just moved back to Atlanta - where they are in abundance! Ugh! I've seen a lot of spiders in our new house and my husband discovered our cats playing ping-pong with a cockroach - thank goodness my hubby takes care of that stuff (except when he's traveling and I need to put my big girl pants on and deal with it)! I sure hope the exterminator knows how important he is too!
Now to pass this award onto 5 wonderful blogs that I love to visit:
1. Nance Leedy - Canopy Crafts
2. Dana Newsom - EverBlooming
3. April Massad - {Stamp} Paper Scissors
4. Cindy E - Heart's Delight Cards
