Honest....

....Scrap

My heart is a flutter with the honor of the Honest Scrap Blog Award.  My new and dear friend Tracey at French Larkspur has passed this award on to me and I am very flattered. Thank you Tracey!

Rules of the game:

1. Say thanks and give a link to the presenter of the award.

2. Share "10 honest things" about myself.

3. Present this award to 7 other people whose blogs I find brilliant in content and/or design, or those who have encouraged me.

4. Tell those 7 people they've been awarded the HONEST SCRAP AWARD.

Off to the races with the 10 Honest Things About Myself.....hummmmmmmmmmmmm

Do you really want to know ?

1)    I am actually a very shy person...but overcompensate for it by taking charge of situations where I am uncomfortable.

2)  I am an over protective mother and struggle with the thoughts that I should be doing more.

3)  I hate laundry with a passion....sometime my clothes will be left for days, just waiting to be folded.  The only way I can get through it is to have a nice long phone conversation; it makes the pain more tolerable.

4)  Making others happy makes me happy.  If I could I would fix all the world's problems, I would .... too bad the world is not listening to my suggestions.

5)  I am adopted and proud of it!

6)  I am terrible with money, will not discuss it or even utter the words "budget".  YUCKY

7)  I live for new decorating projects.  If I could change my house around on a yearly basis I would.  My furniture moves every three months, seasonal decorations excite me to no end and I enjoy collecting "finds" and fitting them into our lives.

8)   My motto for life, every since I was a young girl, I told my father...."LIFE IS LIFE".  Later, as I got older and asked myself what do when you just don't have any more answers... "PUNT".  I always remember, somehow even in our darkest moments we alway end up coming through them on the sun filled side of life.  You just have to ride out the storm.

9)  I enjoy a nice glass of wine, well maybe a couple.

10)  It amazes me how much I have enjoyed this journey into blogging .... it gives me hope and faith in humanity that good people do exist, that kindness is a natural extension of self, and that people can accept you even with differences. 

THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU WHO HAVE MADE THIS EVOLUTION A WONDERFUL PART OF MY EVERYDAY LIFE.  I AM A BETTER PERSON FOR HAVING MET ALL OF YOU!!!

Now onto the fun part of passing on this award!!!!!!!
