I'd Like To Thank The Academy...

I have received a few blog awards over the past few weeks.  It takes me a while to type out these posts, and follow the "rules" of all the blog awards...so I am just now able to finish and post them!!    I am sorry to those who awarded them to me.  It's not that I don't care, because that is NOT the case at all!  I am really really honored that I have been given the awards!! It makes me feel so special!   :)  

I am so very thankful to be given awards for my blog!  I absolutely LOVE paper crafts, and all crafty things for that matter.... and I love sharing my creations with others, as well as meeting other crafty people and gaining inspiration! :)
I would like to thank Kim from Snippets Of Life and Victoria from Victoria's Creations as well as Paula from PVCreations2010  for giving me these awards!!! 
I also received the Stylish Blogger Award!!

I was given this award by Kim from Snippets Of Life 
Thanks again!! :) 

If you don't follow these ladies, you really should go check out their blogs! They are so amazing and talented!!


There are rules that accompany The Versatile Blogger Award,and they are as follows:
1.  Thank the person who awarded The Versatile Blogger to you.
2.  Tell us 7 things about yourself.
3.  Pass the award on to 15 bloggers!

The rules for the Stylish Blogger Award are:
1.  Thank the person who gave the award, and link back to their blog.
2.  Share 8 things about myself.
3.  Pass this award to 8 individuals who I have recently discovered. 
4.  Leave a comment so they can pass on the recognition!


I think I will cheat a little bit if that is ok with you all.  I am going to combine the awards, and just do it once.  Is that allowed?  :)

Here goes!  The 8 things about ME (7 for Versatile, and one more for the stylish award) are:

1.  I have three brothers, and growing up, I was (and still am) a total tomboy, and LOVE sports!
2.  I absolutely LOVE rainy days!!!  (Yet, I live in Arizona... make sense of that!)
3.  I am addicted to Diet Coke.
4.   I have nine tattoos .... and am constantly thinking of what to get next.
5.  I absolutely LOVE all the USA network shows (Psych, White Collar, Burn Notice, etc)
6.  I love going to the zoo.  I go there by myself sometimes, just to walk around. I love, Love, LOVE it.
7.  My favorite type of workout is boxing.  On my 'good days' where I feel good enough, I box for as long as I physically can. It relaxes me, and is the very best workout ever!!!
8.  I am hospitalized so much, that almost the entire staff knows me by name.  Nurses, Doctors, Cafeteria workers, Housekeeping, even Volunteers!  (And this isn't some small hospital.  It's huge.  That's pretty pathetic, right?!!)
