Compliments are Verbal Sunshine

Compliments are verbal sunshine - and I have got to say when I was sent these awards - the sun was shining!
Thank you to the Honey's at 


Homemaking Honeys Blogspot

and to Tim over at

ladeladeda blog spot 

I received two messages within days of each other from these two, so I was feeling pretty special.
 I enjoyed visiting  both these blogs - so go check them out!!!
Here are the awards they bestowed....









Here's how the award works:
Thank and link back to the person(s) who bestowed the awards
Share 7 random things about yourself
Award 15 recently discovered great blogs
Contact those bloggers and inform them about the award


So here I go : Seven random things about me .....


1. I have a donor ear drum because I stuck a popcorn kernel in my ear when I was little.
2. Growing up I had a pet cow named Twinkie that I used to ride like a horse.
3. I dirt bike with my hubby.
4. I love chocolate.
5. I was told that my hair follicles are triangular, thus giving me naturally curly hair.
6. My favorite song right now is "Love Like Crazy" by Lee Brice.
7. My first craft obsession I can remember was making pom poms. To "do" something with the pom poms I made toilet paper roll people and gave them pom pom hair, arms and feet. I was going to make a living selling them. I would use extra toilet paper to keep up with the pompom people production.
