Okay, now on to my final award, and I'm saving the cutest one for last....the Stinkin' Cute Blog Award.

 

Thank you sooo much, Diana from DL ART, for passing this along to me.  This award is so stinkin' cute, and so are all of Diana's projects.  Pop on over to her blog to check them out. 

There  are no requirements for this award. :)

***********************************************************

Okay, so let's see about fulfilling some of the requirements:

Here are 12 random facts about myself, at least one of which is crafty:

1.  I'm a Texan, even if I don't live there anymore.

2.  I currently live in Germany.

3.  My hubby's in the Air Force.

4.  I have 2 daughters...a 10 year old and a 7 year old.

5.  I have a sweet Chihuahua named Abby.

6.  I was a teacher for 9 years when we lived in the states. I taught 3rd and 4th graders.

7.  I love using my Cricut machine, and I have a cartridge-buying addiction.

8.  I also love using Make-the-Cut, and I'm super excited to buy the Silhouette Cameo cutting machine when it comes out in October so I can follow all the "rules" when use all my wonderful SVGs.

9.  I'm really enjoying selling my cards and party decorations on Etsy...it keeps me busy!

10.  I'd love to have an actual job someday in the crafting industry.  Don't know how in the world that would happen, but I can dream, I guess.

11.  I actually get the "itch" to move about every 3-4 years.  Funny, since I always thought I'd stay in the little town I grew up in forever.  That's what happens when you marry a military man.

12.  I watch WAY too much TV for my own good. :)

Okay, so that's more than you ever hoped to know about me.  Now, it's time to pass on these awards to other talented crafters.  This is always the hardest part for me.  There are SOOOO many wonderful bloggers out there, and I know I always leave so many of them out when I choose people for these awards. 

So, here are the blogs I've chosen (in no particular order). If your blog is named below, please take your pick of one or all of the awards listed above.  Oh, and don't feel like you need to do all of the requirements, either.  Just take the award and proudly display it on your blog.  Each and every one of you deserve it!
