I'd like to thank the academy!

My fabulous IRL{in-real-life} friend and fellow blogger, Jessica over at It's Jess presented me with a Beautiful Blogger Award!

I might be a little big-headed about this...hey, I had baby shit smeared up my arm earlier....give me a break!  At least I didn't jump up and break the light fixture in the living room like a total douche bag...like I did when I got on Crafting with the Stars!!  Read about that here.



The Beautiful Blogger Award is for those blogs that are creative, original, and add to the blogging community. You are supposed to bestow it on seven people.

The rules:
Link to the creative, beautiful genius that bestowed it upon you.
List seven random things about yourself.
Send said award to seven (or however many you want) other creative beautiful geniuses.
Tell those lucky people that you've done this and give them the rules.

Seven random things about me........


1.  I think the most random things are freakin' hilarious....like pee my pants funny.  I love watching America's Funniest Home Videos....it's totally my jam!  Plus, my laugh is obnoxiously loud. I was literally crying from this:

and also from this:

2.  My favorite movie is Uncle Buck and almost every weekend I make "He's cooking our garbage" for breakfast.  Macaulay Culkin walks down to the kitchen looks at John Candy and whispers to his sister "He's cooking our garbage."   It's basically cubed hashbrowns with onions, topped with sausage or bacon, eggs, and cheese.  The kids and I put ketchup on ours and Mr. TSL rocks his with some salsa.  Yes, my children eat this!

favorite lines from the movie:
"I don't want to stay with them, their dog's a ball sniffer."
"Honey, don't say balls."
"What's another word for balls?.....Nuts!"


"Here's a quarter, go downtown and have a rat gnaw that thing off your face."


3.  I know all the words to the songs in Seven Brides for Seven Brothers......"bless your beautiful hide, wherever you may be.  We ain't met yet, but I'm a willin' to bet, you're the gal for me....."  and I sing all of them while the movie is playing.

4.  I still want to use to want to be a country music singer.


5.   I believe with my whole heart and soul that actions speak louder than words. 


6.  I can touch my tongue to my nose...I know you're jealous!


7.  I am obsessed with plucking my eyebrows.... like my mom took my tweezers away from me at cheerleading camp and then convinced all my girlfriends not to give me theirs....I must say I am glad she did this, they grew back and were better looking, but I needed them to be groomed a little more than they were!!  I still, to this day, pluck my eyebrows everyday!


Thanks again, Jessica!!!  As soon as summer starts, Jess and I are going on a play date to some thrift stores and hopefully lunch and a movie!!  :)

My painted stairs are such a hit!! Check out all the love!!

I love blogging!  I love all the comments that come in and how lovely everyone is to each other! In a world that is sometimes to "Negative Nancy" (btw sorry, if your name is Nancy...it's a lovely name :) ), it's so nice to hear from all the "positive Patsy's"!!  Yes, I use these terms in my everyday life!

I have to thank all of these people, because I am so excited the stairs went over so well!!

First, I was featured at Domestically Speaking's Power of Paint Party!

I loved her fabulous comment that she was crushing on my stairs!  It's so nice to hear that other people crush on my stuff-because I TOTALLY CRUSH ON EVERYONE"S STUFF :)

Second, I was featured over at Sunshine and Chaucer!

 

Third, over at My Uncommon Slice of Suburbia!

Then fourth, Michelle over at The Lazy Novice Crafter awarded me the Versatile Blogger Award!

The tasks from the award are to:

• Thank the person who gave you the award and link back to their site in your original post.

• Tell us seven things about yourself.
• Pass along the award to 6 newly discovered bloggers.
• Contact these bloggers and let them know they got this award.

Thank you Michelle!!!!

7 things about me:

1.  I have decorating ADD!  My house is a constant stream of a number of projects all at once :)

2. I tell the longest most drawn out stories EVER- if you weren't present during the event I am telling you a story about, you will feel like you were when I'm done!  I have actually had people tell me my own story as one of their own and they genuinely believe that it was their original story.  I am that good :)

3.  I love turtles :)  I have a lot of random little turtles around my house and Mr. TSL and I are turtle savers.  Yes, when you see the lunatic picking up the turtle out of the road while you are trying to hurriedly get some where-it's us!

4.  I love old rusty things that I can make into fabulous new decorations! My style is a miss mash of Old Farmhouse, beach cottage, and log cabin! 

5. Jon Bon Jovi is my boyfriend!  No, he doesn't know it, but he is!!!!

6.  We recycle almost EVERYTHING.  When people ask why, I just reply, "I am saving the world silly!"  If everyone just recycled even a little the world would be a prettier place!

7. Last but not least, I love my family more than anything in the world!
