We've received another award!

Debbie from Happy Days blessed us with this award. Thank you so much Debbie, we humbly accept this award. Debbie was I believe my first official follower. She is such a talented lady, has two beautiful homes, beautiful yard, very talented photographer and most importantly she's a proud Grandma to two of the sweetest little girls. As per the award I've been asked to post; Seven Things About Myself That You Might Find Interesting...or not...lol 1. I'm blond, naturally. I must ad that I don't fit the bill of a typical blond, instead my personality suggests I should have been a redhead! *wink* 2. I didn't grow up in a homesteading enviroment, although we did raise a garden and even had chickens, turkeys and bottle calves when I was young. So where does the desire come from you ask? It was God given and I praise Him everyday for blessing our homestead. 3. BC( before children) I worked at a job, that's right I wasn't always a SAHM. My profession; Cosmetologist. Yes, I'm still currently licensed and try to keep current with products and new procedures. You never know when you may just have to fall back on such a career. 4. When in Cosmetology school I was on a hair design team. We competed at the state level and I placed first in our venue. Then our team traveled onto the national competition in Seattle, WA. where I placed second. We were to go to the World competition in CA, but Mike and I were just newlyweds and couldn't afford such a luxury, so I had to decline. After the nationals I received several offers from Hollywood agents. Honestly can you see me in Hollywood! It was fun to receive the offers. 5. I had to quit working when I was 4 months pregnant with our son, Jon. I had a condition known as Placenta Previa. I went into labor 3 months early, the Dr. stopped it with medication. Then I went two weeks overdue and had to be induced into labor. All ended well and our son is now 20 yrs old! How time flies I still remember the feeling of holding our first child, like it was yesterday *sigh*

6. I've been blessed with artistic talent. My favorite medium is water color, then pastels. I haven't had time to pursue this talent due to home schooling, homesteading and daily life, but plan to begin again this winter. I'd also like to get more involved in quilting.

7 .I'm scared to death of heights. I used to be afraid of spiders, but in the country you adjust or die of fright, LOL! I still don't like spiders but don't run screaming for Mike to come kill one for me, I just grab a shoe, book, newspaper, etc... and get it over with.

Thanks again Debbie, we are truly honored by your awarding our blog.
