I'm a Beautiful Blogger!

Did you think I had gotten really vain?  I was just SO excited to get this award by not one, but TWO followers!  The first one came from one of my favorite people on the web - Thank you Audrey from Cute and Some! I have gotten to know Audrey in the past month or so, and she is so kind, generous, spiritual, friendly, creative, talented...the list could go on and on!  Please go visit her blog.

Before I could even finish this post, I also recieved the award from Sparksgal at My Crafty Place.  Be sure to check her out, too. Sparksgal, you have no idea how this makes my day!

The rules are that I have to list 7 things about myself, so....
1.  I'm addicted to coffee!  I roll out of bed every day craving it, and I usually have 3 cups before 10:00. After that, it's Diet Coke.
2.   I love Pomeranians!  I have 2 girls now, but I had 2 boys for 16 years, and I miss them terribly
3.  I love Disney!  I have lost count of how many times I've been to Disney World - it's at least 40.  I used to run a forum on AOL for Disney fans, and we did twice-weekly chats with Disney trivia games every Saturday night.  I made some great friends there, and still keep in touch with some of them 10 year later!
4.  I love books and reading
5.  I love movies, especially in the theater.  My husband and I try to go to one at least every other week - sometimes more.
6.  I love the theater!!  My husband and I try to go to NYC at least once a year to see a couple of Broadway shows...and to shop and eat!  It's such a great city!
7.  I am the Community Services Manager for a large planned community - over 2700 homes - and I love my job!  I also happen to live in the community I work for, so it's like getting to help my own neighborhood and getting paid for it!  My main responsibilities include: monthly newslettter editor, web site administrator, boating rental programs, pavilion/facility rental programs, boat registration for about 600 boats, and all community events.  I throw 4 parties a year for a mere 1500-2000 people, complete with live bands, food, beer and wine, and fireworks once a year.  My husband calls me the party girl...LOL!  I do a bunch of other stuff, too, but most of it's boring.

So, now you know a little more about me - maybe more than you wanted to...LOL!
Thanks again to Audrey, and to all of you who have made my blog take off the way it has!  I never dreamed when I started this blog in November that I'd already have almost 600 followers!  Thank you all!

Now I'm supposed to pass the award on to 15 other bloggers. This is going to be so hard because I follow some really amazing crafters on their blogs.  Narrowing it down is going to take some effort - oh, my brain is hurting already!  I am listing some here that aren't just Cricut sites.  I also follow stamping and digital scrapbooking sites, so I hope maybe sharing some of them will help you to find something new!   Please visit them and leave them some love!
