Honest Scrap! My First Blog Award!

Photobucket


Yippeee-doodles!

I was given my very first bloggy award by my very blogilicious friend, Shalee, over at Sometimes Its Good To Be Speechless! Thank you, Shalee! You are a rockstar!

Now, this award doesn't come easy! I have to earn it by exposing myself (yikes!) .... (not as freaky as it sounds..lol!) Here's the scoop...


The rules for the Honest Scrap award:

The honorees are to:


A) List 10 honest things about yourself -

and make it interesting, even if you have to dig deep!


B) pass the award on to 7 bloggers that you feel embody the spirit of the Honest Scrap


And away we go....

1. If Edward Cullen were a real person, I would run away from home, kick Bella's be-hind, and make him my own...cause I'm older and more experienced...and my blood is probably tastier cause it ages like fine wine...


2. My husband proposed to me at KFC...(yes, that's right...the chicken joint..)


3. I can only have white hangars in my closets. (can anyone say, "Mommy Dearest?")


4. I LoVe to play Cash Cow on Webkinz for hours and hours...


5. When I go into a bookstore, I always find the timewarp and end up staying in there for hours...and hours...when I come out 100 years has passed by...


6. I love Aerosmith, Metallica, Muse and Bullet 4 My Valentine (yes, I realize I am 43, but what are ya gonna do?)


7. I am horribly addicted to blogging...like an intervention is probably needed (and I've only been at for 2 weeks!)


8. I am a closet road rager. I will scream (yep, I set a great example for my children...) at all the stupid drivers until they do what I say. (My kids find it amusing that I think the other drivers can actually hear me...oh, didn't I mention I rage with the windows up?)


9. I am a huge fashion nerd. (my sister is the stylish one...)


10. I wish I could be paid millions for my wit and charm...no, make that billions...


Whew! Exposure over! Hope I didn't flash you too much!


Now...my turn to give the award to 7 blog-fabulous friends!


(drumroll please..................)


And the awards go to:


*Andrea over at The Hall Family
(She's adorable and a great mom!)


*Kate at Clueless in Columbus
A delightful blogger buddy (and an Ohio girl too!)


*Pam at Country Mouse, City Mouse
One of the nicest bloggers in blogland!

(and I'm gonna add one more...I know it's supposed to be 7, but she makes super cute pendants and is a very crafty girl! *Jamie at StampinMom this one's for you!)

(and a little shout out to Blonde Duck at A Duck in Her Pond...congrats on your award too! We rock, sister! Yeah, that's right...do the soldier boy dance...)


Now ladies, go expose yourselves and win this award!!!!

(Update! Comments are now closed for the Monster Giveaway! Thank you for participating!) Whooo's 100? I am! This is my 100th post! To say I am astonished and humbled by the incredible support of my blog from fellow bloggers, friends and family would be an ginormous understatement! I am truly, deeply grateful that ya’ll stop by and visit me! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! (I had this scheduled to post at midnight, but for some reason, it didn't! I got up to check it about 1:30 am and discovered blogger's mischief! Sorry if you came by then!) All righty then…do you have a cup of coffee, hot cocoa, tea, martini? How about a masseuse? You’re gonna need it! It’s my 100th post and by the time you are done reading it, you’ll probably feel as old and tired as Rip Van Winkle! You know me and my long winded rambley-ness! (....the giveaway is here..I promise!) So, this is what I’ve come to know about blogging in the last 100 days…. Blogging is like taking a vacation to a place you n...

Not Me Monday! I Am NOT Adding More Prizes to My Monster Giveaway..or am I???

NOT ME Monday is brought to you by the fabulous MckMama over at My Charming Kids . Please send your well wishes for her wee Stellan. He needs our love and prayers. Thanks! I did NOT curl up and rock back and forth sucking my thumb in a dark corner for hours last week because of the stupid surge that sent my laptop to the Geek Squad hospital during my MONSTER giveaway. I would NOT act like such a baby. Also, I did NOT cry so hard on Tuesday (and Wednesday) that my right eye was actually swollen shut for a while. I would NOT be so emotional over a computer. My son did NOT tell me I was EMO because I did NOT wear black all week and act depressed. I did NOT stand in the middle of my yard shaking my fist to the heavens and yell (in my Scarlett O'Hara voice) "As God as my witness, I will never be laptop free again!" I also did NOT roll around in agony in my yard screaming.."WHY? WHY? WHY is this crap happening to me!!!!???? Why this week????"" I did NOT feel HO...

As promised, I’m dedicating my Tuesday’s Tribute to all of you! Your kindness and support has meant the world to me! My life has been forever changed by all of the bloggy love I have received since Dec. 31, 2008. Thank you! My 100th post is coming next Monday. As I shared with you previously, I'm hosting a Monster Giveaway to say THANK YOU for your incredible support of my humble blog! There will be details in my 100th post on how to enter! I've gathered a HUGE amount of goodies for my giveaway! I am taking a poll over the next few days to help me determine if I should break it into several groups of goodies or offer one big lolla-pa-looza! (Just vote over on the left sidebar. I really appreciate your input!) I’ve had a few emails asking me how I chose the items for this extravaganza. I am sharing my favorite things with you! I am also throwing in a few things chosen by Tween Caveboy and Miss Kitty. Plus, I’m adding some fun items from my own shops, Black Crow Boutique and Mon...
