My very first award

I got my first award.  I am so excited.  There are so many great crafters and bloggers out there and so to get an award means  a lot to me.   I got it from Jen at jennyscards.blogspot.com.  Thank your Jen, it means so much to get this award.   I hope everyone will go and check out her wonderful creations.  You are sure to find great inspiration.  I know I do.

This award does come with some rules so please follow along :).

• 1. Thank and link back to the person who awarded you this
• 2. Share 8 things about yourself
• 3. Pay it forward to 8 bloggers that you have recently discovered
• 4. Contact those bloggers and tell them about their awards

 Here are 8 things about myself :

1.  I love the color blue
2. I have been married almost sixteen years and have 3 fabulous children.
3.  I have never had a traffic ticket.
4. We have the 25 days of Christmas in our house each year, where nightly we read a  short story by candle light and have a little treat from the tree.  It is 20 or so minutes of heaven for me each night.  It is better than presents on Christmas day to me.
5.  I love paper and of course my cricut.  Can't wait for Pink Tuesday (next week at custom crops).
6. I love fresh out of the garden tomatoes and cucumbers.
7. I have lived in three different time zones.
8. I love being a stay at home mom.
