My friend Amy over at WhisperWood Cottage has passed on two lovely awards to me here at The View from White Pine Lane!
They are the Premio Meme Award and the Honest Scrap Award. Both of these prestigious awards require that I tell you, my readers, a certain number of things about myself (7 things and 10 things, respectively) and that I then pass them on to the same number of other deserving bloggers (7 and 10, respectively).
Amy did graciously say that I was allowed to change these rules to suit myelf. Phew! Letter A): I don't know that I can think of 17 interesting things to tell you, and B): I almost certainly don't know 17 other bloggers upon which to bestow these awards next! So, let's wing it, shall we?
Hmmm, what to tell, what to tell? What do we want to know about meeeeeeeeee?
1. I met my husband when we were 14 years old.
2. I used to have a horse named Yuban.
3. I have been to northern Africa twice.
4. Coffee preference: Hazelnut latte (Caribou, bien sûr!)
5. I have a Master's Degree in International Management.
6. I am adopted.
7. Je parle français.
8. I am stuck in the 80s (or at least that's my children's opinion!)
9. I'm not officially a junker, but I've become fascinated with junking/repurposing.
10. I'm totally at home in the 'burbs - not an urban girl at all.
11. Favorite special meal: Châteaubriand with Béarnaise sauce, Châteauneuf du Pape, and bananes flambées for dessert!
12. I have a horror of people who spit!
13. From Kindergarten through high school graduation, I went to seven different schools.
14. I love little lap dogs.
15. I can only sleep with a fan noise on, and have been known to pack a fan in my suitcase when going on vacation. (My husband jokes that if we're stuck somewhere without a fan, he has to go "Whooosh, whooosh, whooosh" all night so I can sleep!)
16. I am hyper-organized at work, and extremely disorganized at home. (And I hate that).
17. I hate to wear socks, and even hate closed shoes. (Yes, I love Crocs).
OK! Wow! I can't even tell you how long it took me to come up with that list, but I'm glad that's done. Now, to pass on the awards! Thank, Amy for allowing us the chance to make our own rules. Rule # 1: The Premio Meme Award is by request only. If you'd like it for your blog, put a note in the comments and it's all yours! Rule #2: I'm cutting the number of recipients on the Honest Scrap Award to five! Yes, seven lucky gals (from five great blogs), all of whom have dealt with plenty of honest scrap! Rule #3 Award recipients can also make their own rules!
My choices for the Honest Scrap Award are:
Kathy of Sylvia's Vintage Daughter
Candy of Junk Sophisticate
Gretchen of Mimi-Toria's Designs
Lanette of Cottage Elements
Trista, Alicia and Jen of Kountry Junkers
Be sure to check them all out! These are all awesome blogs that will inspire you can get your creative junking juices flowing!
Congratulations, ladies! Grab your Honest Scrap Award for your blogs, and tell us ten things about yourselves. Then pass it on to ten more bloggers!
Have fun with it (and bend the rules, like I did, in any way that suits you)!
Don't forget to come back here and make a comment when you get your ten things up! Can't wait to know more about all of you creative junking women.
