An Award! Thank You

Well, I woke up sneezing at 5:30am and logged on to the computer and, too cool, I had an Award,

Thank you so much to Aadoria (love that name) over at http://anythingbutandthensome.blogspot.com/
I do so appreciate it.
Go check her out, way too cool what she does with paper products to make the most beautiful flowers, and the ice cream blog is teriff too.


Okay, I guess one of the rules is to tell you 7 things about me.
1. Well, I was born and raised in Alaska, it's still home sweet home, but moved to Texas 131/2 yrs ago. I packed up my son, 2 dogs and 2 birds and just did it, Scariest thing I've ever done, left everything and everyone I knew to transfer to a job in a new location. But glad I did it.

2. I have a 26yr old son, yes I too got preggers at 19, but I have been a successful mother, my son is doing well, and happy,

3. I worked for the USPS for 20yrs before deciding I needed another change and resigned my job. I know it was a risk, but isn't life, and I'm happier today than ever.

4. I have 2 dogs and a kitten, the kitten is in Wyoming with my Stepmother right now, waiting for me to go get her and bring her home.

5. I have one tatoo, that I got when I was 24, was going through a rough patch and my lion reminds me that no one has the power to take my power unless I give it to them. He needs touched up though, poor guy, a little faded.

6. I used to be addicted to games on Facebook, but am now addicted to Knitting Paradise.com

7. I'm getting married next month to the wonderful man I've been with for 10yrs.

Okay, now that you've had to suffer through that, I need to give you 15 blogs I follow, I'm new to the whole bloggosphere thing, so I don't know if I have that many, but here it goes.

I've found these all over the place in my quest for creative outlets, and I like them all. As I said, I haven't been following anyone for long, new to this whole process.
Hope you check them out.
