A "Sweet" Award!

So I received this very 'sweet' award from two very 'sweet' blogger friends!  Cindy P. over at
CardCrazeeMe53 and Anna over at Memories by Anna Dawn both left me this wonderful award on their sites.  How cool is this?  Thank you ladies so very much!!  You both are too, too sweet!  ;)  Don't these strawberries make you hungry??  :)   Be sure to check out Cindy and Anna's blogs for crafty creations!

The rules for the award are the following:

1) Send a thank you to the person who nominated you and include their link.
2) To accept this award, answer 7 random facts about yourself.
3) Pass the award on to at least 8 other awesome blog buddies.

7 Random facts about me:

1.  I am gloriously saved!

2.  Some people think I'm crazy for putting so much detail into my projects, but it makes me so happy when I see the recipients' faces and how crazy they are over my projects!  :)

3.  I have 6 dogs, 1 cat, and a beta fish!

4.  I'm addicted to the scrapbooking aisle at Mighty Dollar!  haha!

5.  I am going back to college this fall at age 37 to finish my 2 yr degree finally!  Geeez! 

6.  I was once kissed on the forehead by Dale Earnhardt Jr! (That's for you Nascar fans! Ha!) :)

7.  I would LOVE to start my own crafting business or a business painting nurseries/murals but don't really know how to go about it! :(

Ok so now I am passing this "SWEET" award onto these amazing crafty people!  Check out their blogs and see if you are as inspired as I am!  :)
