Hello there.
I have been (humbly) nominated for the
Versatile Blogger Award
I say humbly as I blog ever so sporadically and the other folks nominated blog probably daily with tutorials, tips, recipes, etc and wonderful things! (And after quickly checking out the other blogs listed--I am EVER SO HUMBLED!) I'm not sure if this will come through right and I will correct and add links later if not, but here is a list of the other folks nominated:
----dang, it actually worked! Go check them out when you can.
It has definitely inspired me to be more vigilant with my blog---ie: actually posting at least weekly (lol), being more crafty (not hard to do) and posting about it (the hard part), and doing some much needed 'housekeeping' of my blog.
That said.....
Here are the rules for the nomination:

1. Thank you Marilyn again for nominating me!!!
3. The Award image (this is getting challenging....)
4. Give 7 random facts about yourself...
1. I have (now) 6 cats:
Thomas (the ? 18 yo dad), his kids: Gabby (ever so aptly named!!!), Pippy (Long stocking), and Nichol (the only orange amongst all grey Tiger/Siamese) who are all 12.5 years old, Sidney, also Toms' kid--painfully shy and skittish 11.5 yo, and lastly (black, fluffy Tuxedo) Mama, stray, age unknown, who has been with us for about 8 years. (---and my cats do not go outside!) And not necessarily in the same vein... I have a 28 yo son who is a poet and a damn good one!
2. I can't wait to see: Bobo, Kitta, and especially Montana on The Rainbow Bridge someday.
3. I am a hopeless crafter and my sister Debbie calls my craft room my "Million Dollar Craft room", an honor I try to live up to as much as possible--lol. (My latest and greatest new toy is the Fiskars Fuse but more about that later.....)
4. This is getting harder....
4. I am an ice tea-totaler for sure--it is my 'coffee' in the morning and my 'drug' of choice through out the day!
6. I love oldies (50-60's) music and always thought I was born in the wrong era. (I'm a 70's girl)
7. Getting back to my crafts (after all this IS a crafting blog---sheeez...), I love to make cards, crochet, knit, make beaded jewelry, sew, embroider, and scrapbook---to name JUST a few---and my new indulgence (as I haven't been on a real vacation in forever!) is going on Scrap-A-Way Retreats for the weekend. They are soooooo much fun and I get to paper craft all weekend on my own 6-8 FOOT table! The next one I am going on is this years' first of the 'season'. Scrap-A-Way Retreats Season Kick-Off --everything is included!!! Check them out! And no, I am not affiliated, but I wish I had thought of the idea--lol!
OK so that was only # 4 of the
Versatile Blogger Award !
ugh...I'm getting there...and that was a good ugh...
So this post has so far taken me almost 2 hours (probably why I don't do this every day) and I now have to go to work...bad ugh... not really, so I have to trust the 'save' button on the top of this page or I will come home tomorrow morning and 'keeel' myself!!! (Side note, I am going to see Jeff Dunham at The Big E in Sept--yay can't wait!)
5 & 6. Now for the 15 bloggers I nominate and their links (not in any particular order) and some of these blog sporadically like me, some are 'famous' like Craftsy and some I am just seeing for the first time as you might be too:
