My VERY 1st AWARD!! Thanks Crazy Mom Tats!!

Scrap means left over, fragments, discarded material. Many times truth and honesty are discarded material, considered fragments and left over. People like us need to tell it like it is, and let the scraps fall where they will.


Here are the rules:

1. Thank the person who gave the award and list their blog and link it.

2. Share "10 Honest Things" about yourself.



3. Present this award to 7 others whose blogs you find brilliant in content and/or design, or those who have encouraged you.



4. Tell those 7 people they've been awarded Honest Scrap and inform them of these guidelines in receiving the award.


1. I have been stress eating alot lately also...

2. I am always too hard on myself, therefore I get down in the dumps alot which in turn causes the stress eating its a vicious cycle

3. I am addicted to music. I always need more

4. I hold on to the past a bit too much at times. I dwell on things especially deaths of those close to me

5. I try to please everyone in every way which in turn makes me alot harder on myself and makes me crazy and I can never seem to say NO when I need to
6. I love to deisgn tatted items and I am always pushing myself further which can be dangerous at times LOL
7. I love photography and constantly am taking pictures, I wanna be a photographer but not taking peoples photos more of a nature photographer that travels alot but I wouldnt do it without my family

8. I have freckles and am a natural redhead (leaving this here because I AM TOO)

9. My husband is my entire world, without him I feel as though I would die. When he talks about that (he is 12 years older than me) I cry because I dont want to think of that. He helps me in more ways than he will ever know

10. My kids are my life. They come 1st before anyone and anything. I am doing what I feel is right for MY kids not what others think I should do.

About to Burst!!

I know that kind of sounds gross BUT its a burst of happiness.
You know my day yesterday didnt go that well I was moody and cried. Hubby came home with my new toy... one of his co workers got himself a new computer so he asked Dave if we wanted it, well since my laptop is dead and the other computer we have is a piece of crap -o- la we said yes. We were thinking a couple hundred bucks for it but NO it was FREE... WOW the kindness of others sometimes amazes me... He fixed it all up for me and its got I bet you 5x the storage compacity at the old one WOWser I need that LOL its great and its even a flat screen I SOOOOO LOOOOOVE THAT!!! and I gotta say it
DUDE!!! I got a DELL!! ha ha remember those commercials years ago ha ha ha
---------------------
Allright now my other news of excitement
The nearest tatters who live in pa are Rayanna and Carol who both live in Apollo probably very close to each other by the looks of their addresses (I wander if they know this) anyways that is so many hours drive from me I cant make long trips like that so that made me kind of sad I dont have any tatting buddies close until recently a lady ordered a book from me and like a big dork I didnt pay attention to her address until I mailed it out and it said NORTHERN CAMBRIA PA what? WHAT?? am I seeing this correctly? I live in hastings but out in the boonie section or farm country of hastings which is not very far from NC YEA!!!probably 5 - 10 minute drive WOW I am so happy we are gonna have to get together one time and tat together I LOVE IT I LOVE IT I LOVE IT I have never tatted with anyone but my daughter and I also have another lady learning to tat so that makes 4 YEA!!! Maybe I can start the Northern Cambria County TATTERS ASSOCIATION lol no just kidding but it would be great to have a small group and teach others to tat and get together on occasion....

Ok I am gonna tat I got an idea rolling around in my head for today's Tatting Tea Tuesday, I should be getting some things in order for tomorrows day of cooking up a storm but I would rather tat since I can imagine I really wont get to on Wednesday or Thursday and I will be adding some new beauties to the shop so check that out later as well :)

About Tracy

She is doing good!!
Her surgery went well and Friday was her post op appointment and everything is good!!!
I sent her package out last week and she sent me a text this morning saying

"THANK YOU FOR THE MONEY AND TATTED GIFTS IT WAS VERY NICE OF YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS. THANK YOU. :)"

I appreciate everyones help with this we have sold 2 items from the shop and some have donated money for her IT IS GREATLY APPRECIATED!!

so sorry it took me so long to update I should have done it alot sooner...

Mondays are for the birds...

Yep they are. For some reason today I am just not happy its Monday, now mind you kids are in school and hubby is at work but still I HATE TODAY lol I think it has to do with Thanksgiving being a few days away, time went so fast this year I am not looking forward to all of it yet... I am so tired this afternoon I dont know what has come over me, I was talking to my mom and all I did was yawn between words, she probably thought I was nuts ohhhh wait a minute she already knows that HA HA!!! The past couple days I have been dealing with my blood sugar issues a bit more than usual, I hate it. I should get tested but without insurance HOW?? I dont know. I printed out a hypoglycemic diet in hopes that it will help of course all the stress I am under with ALL that is going on here and my sons attitude at times. I got a roast in the pressure cooker is just started tinging and hissing and it smells delightful already.
I am not saying that today I had a BAD day or anything its just a ho hum kind of BLAH BLAH day I guess.
I did get some tatting in on the weekend YEA go me go me go me WOO HOO right HA HA yea!! I got the 4 necklace order completed and I AM SO HAPPY with the results because I sent them to the lady who ordered them well I sent photos to her and she LOVES LOVES LOVES them...
