Stylish & Cricut-Tastic!

I am honestly humbled - 2 dear fellow crafters have chosen me to receive 2 very cool awards.

The first award came from Cindy at My Lazy Crafternoon:

To receive this award the rules to be followed are:

Step 1 - Make a post linking back to the person who gave you the award.
Step 2 - Share 8 random things about you.
Step 3 – Award 8 recently discovered bloggers with this award.
Step 4 – Contact these bloggers and tell them they have won the award.

8 Random Things About Me
1) I hate mustard, but can't eat a McDonald's hamburger without it
2) I wear a size 10 shoe
3) I am the oldest of 4 kids
4) I love birds - if something has a bird on it, I have to have it - however, I would never want to have a bird as a pet
5) I love the smell of pickles
6) My favorite childhood movie is Goonies
7) I still use the same hair pick I used to tease my hair with in High School
8) Leaving a comment on my blog will MAKE MY DAY!

I am so new to blogging, that I don't have enough people to forward this to.  I will start with these talented ladies, and will reserve the remaining spots for future new-found blogs.

OK - Secondly, Pat from Pat's Scraps awarded me with:
By receiving a Cricut-tastic Award...

Your blog has been deemed Cricut-tastic!  Wear this badge proudly on your blog and share it with friends.  Share this award with 10 people that you think have Cricut-tastic blogs. 

You also have to tell 5 Cricut related things about yourself. 
  1. My hubby bought me the Baby Bug 1.5 years ago - who knew what he was starting!
  2. I now own the plum expression
  3. I find assembling layers of cricut cuts very therapeutic, and try to put at least one on every card I make 
  4. Any time I'm in my craft room working, my hubby refers to it as "Cricutting"
  5. I am afraid to try chipboard or vinyl in my Cricut - I hate to waste, so I haven't tried yet for fear of failure
Again, I'm lacking 10 new people to share this with, but I will add to the list as I meet more new friends on here :)  For now, I'd like to share this award with the following:

Heather at Paper Crafters Anonymous - She always has the cutest Cricut cuts on all of her cards :)

Ok - Thank you so much Cindy & Pat for thinking of me for these awards.  This community is awesome!

  2. You're welcome, Julie! Glad you had fun with it. I've never cut chipboard either even though I did buy the deep blade. Someday...!--Pat N.
