My good friend tagged me .... which means that I get to answer questions here and then tag more friends. Here's what I have to do  :) :) :) )  1. Post the rules 2. Share 11 random things about myself 3. Answer the 11 questions from the post in which I was tagged 4. Create 11 new questions for my tagees to answer 5. Tag 11 people  11 Random things about me: 1.  My thumbnails split way, way, way below the skin ... so I have to cut my nails really, really, really short.  It hurts. 2.  My mouth is worth $16,000.   3.  I never wanted to be a mom.  I always planned on having a career ... didn't even imagine being a mom. 4.  Once I get started thinking about something that I can't remember, it drives me crazy until I find the answer.  Example: my friend mentioned a talk she remembered from a general church meeting, but could only remember the message, not the person who gave the talk.  I could not move on in the...

My friend, Erin , tagged me. So, here's my fourth picture in the fourth folder: I really lucked out! This is such an adorable picture, I'm glad I get to share it. I didn't want to post too many of the pictures I took of Eliza and her Nana when her quilt was finished because I figured you'd all get bored of scrolling through them. But, this picture is priceless; so yay! My four friends I tag are: Jessica, Sarah, Alisha, and Ashley ... I'll leave a comment on your blog to make sure you know it's you.

My friend, Rivka, posted this on her blog and I just thought it might be fun to participate! So, here's the fun part: The first five people to respond to this post will get something made by me! My choice. For you. This offer does have some restrictions and limitations: 1- I make no guarantees that you will like what I make! 2- What I create will be just for you. 3- It will be done this year. 4- You have no clue what it's going to be. It may be a story. It may be poetry or an article on properly cleaning your face before a masque. I may draw or paint something. I may bake you something and mail it to you. Who knows? 5- I reserve the right to do something extremely strange. The catch? Oh, the catch is that you must repost this on your blog and offer the same to the first 5 people who do the same on their blog. The first 5 people to do so, and leave a comment telling me they did, win a fabulous homemade gift by me! Oh, and be sure to post a picture of what you win when you get i...

I looked at my comments really late one night and noticed that my friend, Kelley, had tagged me. Usually, I'll read someone's tag and think, "That would be really fun." So, I looked at Kelley's blog and internally groaned! I guess what you're supposed to do is get off the computer RIGHT NOW and take the pictures before you do anyting. That means NO CLEANING, and NO MAKEUP or PRIMPING! I was just so not ready for this one. But, before I got up the next morning and started cleaning, I took my pictures. So, they are pretty true to the real thing. And, it's ... well, scary! My Toilet (Seriously, it could have been a lot worse.) My Sink (It's usually fuller than this. But, because I always try to get the dishes done before going to bed, I'd done the dishes the night before.) My Closet (Okay, so everything on the left of the picture, and all the pants on the top of the picture are my husband's. I know, I know ... I am totally lacking in the clothes d...
