My Christmas Award *yay*

I want to thank Skylar for this amazing award. She is like the blogger version of Santa. She has been watching us closely to see who is in the Christmas Spirit.

“I have been paying close attention to all of the blogs I have been following. I looked at whose blogs were the most decked out, Christmas related posts, Giveaways and Reviews, arts and crafts and other things as well. These are the people who I think have shown the most spirit this Holiday season.”

Christmas Spirit means a lot to me also. It isn’t about presents or all the commercial “Christmas”. Christmas for me is spending time with the ones I love and care about. Even when I was young I never truly cared about gifts. I would love what I got, and show that I cared about what I got. I teach my kids to be the same way.

It is certainly amazing to have my mom tell me that she is proud that my kids are the only “grandkids” that appreciate what they have and get. I just feel like people stress out so much on the buying part that they forget about the family part. Whatever it is that you may get, it’s the thought that counts. They try, and you should truly appreciate the efforts they make.

I am truly glad to have received this award, and from the bottom of my heart I say..

           and………

Blog Award & My Nominee’s

I got another blog award today, this time from the amazing crafty pirate, Thera Joyce.

She knows I love her blog and her affinity for pirates and skulls. Just as I have an affinity for lime green and peace signs. =)

I just love it. and I thank her so much. It has meant so much to me, to see people coming over and commenting. Thanks for being a friend.

Versatile=having or capable of many uses.

{this will go up on my bloa ASAP}

4 Rules go along with this award:

Rule 1: Thank the person that gave you the award.

Thank you Thera.

Rule 2: Share 7 things about yourself.
1. I am a nerd. I read constantly. I am like a learning addict.

2. I also have a hard time making friends. It's not because I'm not a nice person, I’m just wierd sometimes. I am just akward at times. I really am. I get all high speed brain and stuff just flies out with no intention and I think to myself “that sounded so dumb”. People in school were afraid to approach me because they thought I DIDN’T like them. I wish I would’ve known then.

3. I NEVER get anytime to myself. My two kids are like getting away from me phobia. I can’t even go into the bathroom for 2 seconds before I have kids screaming at the door. {THAT’S why I always have patches of hair I missed when I shave} So if you ever see me, don’t laugh. I try, I swear =)

4.I have wanted to start a craft business for as long as I can remember. I knew that I loved when people adored or praised something I made. I knew I had the fashion sense and love of crafting to be able to be a designer.

5. I am {at the moment} teaching myself how to make layouts, headers, and graphics- so watch out for some freebies..

6. I have the yard sales, flea markets, and consignment shops fetish and I spend forever looking at everything imagining how to repurpose something to fit my love for decoupage. ♥

7. I am a very unique person. I love listening to everything. I listen to loretta lynn, conway, and hank jr on  somedays. I listen to flyleaf, godsmack, and metallica on others. I have a thing for 3 doors down. I love rock music, it is my favorite in the world =)
