A surprise from the lovely Marisa

Last week (been a bit slow here of late, lots to do to prepare for DD's birthday!) the lovely and inspirational Marisa over at Rosemary Reflections sent me this award, I must say that I was so proud to have received it,(thank you , thank you, thank you!) it put a smile on my face for the entire day!  I wasn't sure what to do with it but now I have picked the brains of Ange at Creative inspirations, I think I may have it worked out, well here goes!

In keeping with the award, you have to share ten things about yourself so here you are:

1.I love to share my passion of stamping with other, getting them addicted too is such a rush!  not sure I share that passion to share with our girls cause I always end up cleaning up after them-lol

2.I really enjoy our girls when they are sleeping, they just look soooooo cute in their beds all tucked up!  I really do love them- as challenging as they are at times!

3.I am very untidy when I create, just ask my very patient husband

4. I love to accumulate stamps and stamping stuff, but at times have no desire to use it, so much harder than purchasing!  I still have stamps that are unmounted after many months!

5.My husband and I have just started latin dance lessons, which are so much fun (the body doesn't think so the next day though) I really enjoy doing something special with my DH

6. I love to bake to fill other's tummies, I find myself often in the kitchen baking up a storm!  I must say that my passion for cooking has dimmed somewhat since my passion for stamping has increased!

7. I am a natural procrastinator, why do today what can be done tomorrow!

8. I am happily enjoying my 2nd marriage, 10years and still going strong, getting better each and everyday!  I look forward to my DH walking in the door every night after work- he provides my much needed balance!

9. Now that I have reached the ripe old age of 40, I am comfortable with myself and my body (not really much choice- hehe!)

10.  I am have very strong principles, especially honesty and have little time for those that don't :(

That wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be! 

The second part of the award is to pass the award on to 10 other blogs that I find beautiful, the ones I have chosen to pass it on to I find very inspirational, enjoy stopping by often, and love their creations.  I have many that fit this criteria, so here goes..................
