I got tagged again...by my favorite person...my wonderful Mother!! Click
here for her amazing blog!
Here are the rules for this tag.. (tee
hee, I just copied and pasted from my Mom's blog...how easy!)
1. Link to the person that tagged you and post the rules on your blog.
2. Share 7 random and/or weird facts about yourself (on your blog, we all want to know them).
3. Tag 7 random people at the end of your post and include links to their blogs.
Here goes...
Weird fact #1 - I like to eat
alot of things frozen - most cookies, and chocolate bars, sometimes
hotdogs, and bananas....I think this comes from my Mom too, she always froze the
goodie rings from Dad's cookies, before we ate them. And who cares that you almost break your teeth on them, they taste better frozen!!
Weird fact #2 - I hide junk food from my hubby. I just find that if he sees something, esp. chocolate, he eats it all so fast, that I feel like I have to race to eat some or I won't get any!!
Weird fact #3 - I just can't stop using exclamation marks on every post that I write. I try to stop, but it just doesn't look right without them. And sometimes I edit my posts because I realize that I have used 4
exclamation marks at the end of each sentence!! I dunno, just can't help it!!
Fact #4 - I had a craft shop in my house about 10 years ago. My parents helped me to buy my first house, and they were amazing, helped me so much to fix and paint it, and build displays for the crafts. And for a while I did awesome!! People came from all over to see what I had in my store. It was great, but unfortunately I felt too tied down, and closed the store, before I should have.
Which brings me to Fact #5 - I believe that me and my Mom have tried just about every type of craft. When I was small, I did so many crafts. I was always enrolled in craft classes at the local craft store. I have done cross stitch, sewing, candle making,
beadwork, knitting, needlepoint, plastic canvas, floral design, painting, liquid embroidery,
scrapbooking,
cardmaking, etc.... (I am sure that I am forgetting some things, but only my Mom would remember them all!!) Once I graduated from high school, my Mom and I started doing craft shows. We sold our stuff at the Sunflower craft show for
alot of years (and made pretty good money at it too!!)
Fact #6 - I think I am running out of facts!!
Hmmm,
ok - how about telling you that I have worked with a Co-op since I was 16 years old. I worked for Prairie Co-op from 1991 to 2007, and recently (6 months ago) transferred to Southern Plains Co-op in Estevan. At Prairie Co-op, I worked as a Cashier at the grocery store, and then in 1995 started to work in the Administration Dept as a Office Clerk. Since transferring to Estevan I have worked at a Office Clerk, Bulk/
Agro Clerk, C-Store Clerk, Deli Clerk, and now am hopefully I my final position for awhile as the new Payroll/Credit Manager.
Fact #7 - I miss having my large family around me. I had lived in Melville my entire life, up till 6 months ago. I have 2 sisters (who are twins!), 2 brothers, and my parents in Melville, as well as numerous Aunts, Uncles, grandparents, and lots of friends. It's hard to leave a place where you know just about everyone, and come to a place where I know nobody and start over!
Whew...all done....now on to the second tag....
1. If you could have 100.00 worth of scrapbook paper or assorted embellishments, which would you choose?
Tough question...well my Mom is already getting the embellishments, so maybe I would get the paper and we could share!!
2. If you had to choose between using only stamps or rub-ons, which would you choose?
Hmmm, rub-ons are nice, but you can have so much more fun with stamps! Hey wait, it doesn't say anything about ink....do I get ink?? If not, then I have to have rub-ons!
3. If you knew how to do both awesome cards and layouts but could only do one for a whole year...which would you do?
Oooh, I agree with Mom on this one....(Cards, Cards, Cards...I love making them.)
4. Would you rather own a scrap booking store or have your own scrapping room at home...(can't have both he he he).
Good thing about having a scrapbooking store, is I could buy 1 of everything for myself, right??!
It would depend on if I had to work another job. If my only job could be the store, then possibly I would do it!
5. What is your CURRENT card making or scrapping style?
Ya know, I try to make cards that look like my Mom's amazing cards, but I find it to hard to add different embellishments, and I am always in a hurry to finish a few cards. So I think my style is clean, but not simple!! At least I hope so!
Here are the rules..............
Please answer the questions on your blog and tag 5 more people to answer the same questions..........make sure you list on your blog who you are tagging.
Time to tag people... I have decided that since I didn't do this game of tag right away, probably most people have been tagged already. But, if you haven't been, and you would like to participate, this is your tag!!! So if you do decide to do this tag, be sure you leave me a message, so I can check your tag out too!!
These cards turned out so cute! (I think so anyways)
I actually like how this card turned out. I wasn't sure how hard it would be to color in this large of an image, but it turned out good. I know you can't tell from the picture, but I love glitter, and it is all over this card...on the star...and all the presents...and the scalloped circle!!
