I JUST WON AN AWARD!!!

This weekend I participated in my first non-challenge blog hop.  Today I found out that I was awarded my very first bloggy award - THE VERSATILE BLOGGER.

Here's how it works...I received a blog post from Judy-Scrappin Nana, saying she had a surprise on her blog for me...I went on over and discovered that she had awarded me (and 6 others) with The Versatile Blogger award.

As a recipient of The Versatile Blogger Award, there are 3 rules to follow…
1. Thank the person who awarded you.
2. Tell 7 things about yourself that your readers may not know.
3. Award 7 other bloggers with this award.


7 things you may not know about me are:
1. I am the Mom of two wonderful boys that are BOTH currently Teenagers!  (and I am still alive!)  I have discovered that in my opinion 20 toddlers would be easier than 2 teenagers!
2. I was a foster parent in 1991-1992 and have recently found my foster-daughter on Facebook!  
3. I have been married twice - once for 66 days and once for 16 years.  So I have done the short and long of it...now just to decide about when to have a 3rd go at it.
4. I have been in a long-distance relationship for the last 3 years.  It has been hard but oh so worth it.
5. I look forward to having Grandchildren...just not yet.
6. I am planning a big move to Pennsylvania in the new year.
7. I am working hard at getting a new business started.


and now for the really tough part...choosing 7 other blogs to pass the award on to.  

and the awards go to:
1. Rhea http://starrgazercreates.blogspot.com/
