You know, a funny thing happened yesterday… You know how sometimes you get a little blue? Well, I’ve been a little blue lately (but no worries, I won’t spew on you!) and amazingly enough, right at the exact moment I needed it, I got this beautiful award!!!

 

And not only did I get it once, I got it twice!

Yvonne and Kirsten both felt like I deserved the Lemonade Stand Blog Award!!! Thank you ladies! They both have fabulous blogs so you should definitely visit them! I’m serious…both are GREAT blogs!!

So now it’s my turn to pass on this award. Oh there are so many people I’d love to share this with! I’m going to pick 10 since I got the award twice. I’d choose Yvonne and Kirsten both if they hadn’t chosen me…(other wise they’d have to do it again and it could get repetitive…)

Well, I guess I’ll go backwards here since it is pretty obvious I changed “clothes.” I am really a seasonal girl who loves decorating for the seasons. So when I ran across this fabulous site that makes blog backgrounds, I had to go shopping!! I also cleaned up some of my “stuff” to keep it fresh. ‘Cause I’m cool like that. Since everybody knows I have the OCD (Obsessive Cullen Disorder) and can’t get enough of that crackliterature they call the Twilight saga…I’ve added a few Twilight widgets at the bottom you might enjoy….Twilighters Anonymous and Twilight Lexicon.

I’m telling ya, that Twilight is some serious cracklit. So much so, that I’ve added a little section to honor my fellow Twihard addicts. You can see their blogs under Twilighters Who Blog. Some are crafting blogs, some are not. But they are all fun!

Next, I’ve been neglecting my dear blogging friend Rachel in Vermont. She tagged me several weeks ago so she probably isn’t speaking to me now!! I have some serious kissing up to do now… *ashamed* Rachel posts awesome cards along with absolutely gorgeous pictures of Vermont. Be sure to stop by her blog and leave her kind comments. http://jazzycreations.blogspot.com

Ok, so now I have to share 7 facts about myself:

  1. I love Twilight like it’s crack. It is exactly my brand of heroin. Duh. We all know that one! But it gives me an excuse to pop in some eye candy…forgotbreathe
  2. I like watching True Blood. I swear I haven’t seen a train wreck like this one since Britney (and again, I can’t take my eyes off it)!!
  3. I am generous and loyal to a fault.
  4. I can’t dance. In fact, I can’t do anything that requires any kind of grace or coordination. That includes sports. So stop telling me to do yoga, Beth!!
  5. I love ghost stories.
  6. I have really wild stories from my past and some days I miss those “adventures.” Most people I know would probably be shocked since “I’m not who I was.” (That’s a song btw. Look it up.)
  7. I really want a Ya-Ya Sisterhood group of girlfriends.

And last, my new friend Jessica (and fellow Twilighter) awarded me this award today:

loveaward[1]

I’m going to think over who I’d like to pass it to. I have a list. hahahahha!!

Thanks, Kim!
