Kreativ Blogger Award

Hi!  Wow, another award for our blog!  This one is from Handmade Cuties.  Check out her cute little creations HERE!  She makes the most intricate beaded designs and lots of other cute stuff.  Thank you so much for this award!

So in accepting this award, I'm supposed to share 10 random facts about me. 

1.  I'm lucky enough to be a SAHM though my 3 kids all go to school now.  Some day I may actually get a job.  Everyone tells me being a mom is a job but I mean a job that will pay me money.

2.  I used to be a speech therapist.  I love therapy with little kiddies--so adorable!

3.  I love to watch reality shows.  Before it was all the VH1 ones like Flavor of Love or the Bret Michaels one.  I don't know why--they're funny!

4.  I'm also hooked on watching Auction Hunters.  Wow, those guys can find awesome stuff and sell it for lots of money!

5.  I love to eat junk food.  KFC--yum! 

6.  I think I cook steaks better than most people.  Hahaha!  Love to fry (not grill) porterhouse or rib eye steaks!  Okay, Ruth Chris' does a pretty good job but I haven't had good steaks at restaurants I've been to.

7.  I love peanut M&Ms but not the plain kind.

8.  I just watched Breaking Dawn Part 1 yesterday.  Yes, I'm slow but if you wait, it's only a $1 rental at the public library. 

9.  Hmmm, I seem to talk about food and TV a lot.  I promise I don't sit on the couch and watch TV while eating M&Ms all day.  Sometimes I craft and blog.  But really, I rarely watch TV during the day.  It's mostly when I'm washing the breakfast dishes and then again the dinner dishes that I watch TV.

10.  I used to work for my parents at their restaurant as a waitress.  I learned that I cannot be a waitress because I would get irritated at customers.  And the bad thing is, I would show that I was irritated.  I know, poor customer service.

Okay, so I've noticed we've got some new followers.  I'm gonna pass this on to them.  Go check them out.

Green Blend Award

Hi!  Don't have a project to share today but how about a video?  I'm addicted to The Voice so I am usually watching that instead of crafting Monday nights.  And last night they sang Pat Benatar's We Belong.  Such a great song!

Oh, another show I like to watch when I'm doing the dishes is Doomsday Preppers.  Have you seen that?  Regular folks prepping for doomsday by stockpiling food, developing defense strategies, and all kinds of other stuff.  It's fascinating what people can teach themselves and you can learn really interesting little tidbits too.  I just thought it was interesting that people are preparing for a variety of disasters from radiation fallout from Japan to economic collapse, or huge natural disasters. 

Okay, the purpose of this post was to accept another award!  This one is from Linda at Simple and Sassy Creations.  Thanks for thinking of me!
