Seven Things. What's that all about?
Well my friend Janice has nominated me for a Stylish Blogger Award and it entails me having to share 7 things about me that even my closest friends did not know. Janice is a very creative person, a fantastic mother and educator and you can read all about her on her blog here.
Okay, so here goes.....7 things about me:
1. I am my own best friend. Though I have many girlfriends, there is nothing I cherish more than alone time. I find joy in just sitting by myself, thinking about things and contemplating life. A good walk alone breathing in the fresh air is a luxury.
2. I don't like to fly alone. I'm not scared of flying, by any means....but I've always traveled with Doug and as a result he handles all the details....customs, passports, gates, departure times, etc. I just show up. I guess you might say that I've been spoiled in that regard.
3. I don't get angry easily, but when I do --- it's not pretty.
4. I like to have background sound when I sleep at night. (Doug's fault). We always have the t.v. on in the background in the master bedroom at night....or I'll have a fan on. I find the constant whir of the fan soothing. Weird, huh?
5. When I travel, I always wear socks in hotel rooms. And I make my kids do it, too. You don't know how dirty those carpets are. Even the most expensive hotels can be scary. Trust me, wear socks! Bringing your own pillowcases are also a good idea.
6. My hair is quite curly and wavy when wet, straighter when dry.
7. I don't like milk and only have it if it's in coffee or cereal. I won't drink it out of a glass as a beverage. Don't know why.
Now, I am awarding the following bloggers the Stylish Blogger Award.
1. Alison Solven - my fellow Stampin' Up Demonstrator, who has always been a good and loyal friend.
2. Valerie McGowan - Valerie was a regular customer when I managed the Clipper Street store and I'm happy that we've become friends. She bakes the best cupcakes!
3. Shannon Endicott - Shannon worked with me at Clipper Street and taught amazing classes at the store. I was sad she had to go back to the U.S., but glad that we still keep in touch through FB and our blogs! Oh, technology!
4. Katie Emerson Renz - a true inspiration to me. Anyone who gets to know her, will agree. Katie, you rock and I am honoured to call you a friend.
5. Linda Hansen - I met Linda awhile back through my demonstratorship with Stampin' Up. Linda is funny and witty and I remember laughing so hard when she was up on stage at Regionals when she presented....cause she's just that funny! Linda, I miss you!
6. Jillian Lewarne - the funniest redhead you ever did see! Jillian always makes me laugh when I'm lucky enough to see her. And her kids are the cutest ever.
To the nominees, let's keep the love going by:
- Writing seven things about yourself.
- Presenting the award to six bloggers.
- Contacting those people.
- Creating a link back to the person who did this for you.
Thanks for nominating me, Janice!
That's funny I always wear socks in hotel rooms too :)

Those are an awesome 7 things. I totally agree about the hotel floor. I was at one once and couldn't believe how dirty the bottom of my feet got from the carpet... ewww gross!
