I love bloggy awards!

The time has come to pass along my Beautiful Blogger award I received from The Spunky Diva. Here are the rules:

1. Thank the person who gave you this award.

2. Share 10 things about yourself.

3. Pass the award along to bloggers who you have recently discovered and who you think are fantastic!

4. Contact the bloggers you've picked and let them know about the award.

I thanked Kimberlee, so now onto the ten things about ME

1. I'm not very nice until caffeinated in the morning. One cup of coffee is all I need, but my kids (& husband) have learned to avoid me until I am fully caffeinated!
2. I love jewelry making and crafts and used to never wear jewelry unless I made it...now I just need to find the time again!
3. I blog to "color outside the lines". This is my space to just be me since I work in a structured environment, I like to have somewhere to have fun!
4. I am not looking forward to my oldest starting kindergarten..he's growing up too fast!
5. I love circus peanuts (those orange marshmallow like things)...they are my go-to stress relieving candy when the world is on my bad side - and I don't have to worry about anyone stealing because they all look at me in disgust when I eat them (although I don't think they fit with my diet).
6. My husband and I met at a summer job orientation. I had just ended a long relationship and didn't want anyone new, and he wasn't interested...you can tell where that got us...we've been together since (over 12 years now).
7. I love camping and can't wait for my youngest to sleep a little deeper (about another year) so we can pull out the supplies and find some great places to camp in North Texas for starters!
8. When I was 8 I dreamed of visiting Australia and that was the only place truly on my bucket list...we made the trip last year, so I'm good now! Guess I should add to my list :)
9. I love having my toenails painted pink and have determined that if my toenails don't look good that I am truly stressed for time because I think you should always make time for the thing you see as the easiest to keep up! (and I do my pedicures at home)
10. I love bargains...I hate paying full price for anything...which makes some people feel guilty when they open gifts from me and the limit was $25 during a gift exchange because I will have triple in their bag what they have in mine...I love the thrill of the hunt for amazing finds at great prices!

So, now that you know 10 more things about me, check out these "Beautiful Bloggers"!
