Wow!

Thanks to my beautiful friend Mandy over at Mom of Two Boys, I have been nomintated for the Beautiful Blogger Award!
I've never done this before so please be patient with me.
Seven things about myself:
* I've been married to my cutie patootie husband for 13 years and I met him when I was 13. Little did I know then he would be the start of my forever family.
* I am one of 6 children. My parents are still married and will celebrate their 40th this year!
* I sit and wait by the TV during a snow storm, waiting to see if school has been cancelled and secretly hoping for a snow day with my kiddos.
* I'm addicted to Peppermint Mochas from Starbucks and would probably give my left arm for one...or maybe not. However, I pause if asked to do so...
* My W. is named after J.'s best friend that was tragically taken from this world in 1992.
* I'm an avid scrapbooker and paper crafter.
* I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE thrifting and garage sales. I can't wait to get my hands on things and make them into something else.
