Tag! You're It! - A Fun Little Blogging Game
I've been tagged!!! Carla over at Creatin' In The Sticks has become my newest follower and has tagged me for a fun, little blogging game!
Here are the rules:
- every tagged person has to tell 11 things about themselves
- the person who tagged you asked 11 questions, answer those questions
- ask 11 questions for the 11 blogs you're going to tag (the people you tag should have less that 200 followers)
- mention the blog that tagged you, but don't tag them back.
11 Things About Me:
1) I'm a speech-language pathologist for K-5 kiddos. I love my job and the kids that I help!
2) I've competed in agility and obedience with my English Springer Spaniels.
3) I've played at the White House Easter Egg Roll with my high school jazz band back in 1998. It was such a fun experience, except for the flying in an airplane part - not a fan of flying.
4) I love musical theater. I enjoy going to the Fox Theatre in St. Louis, MO and seeing a show every once and awhile.
5) I like to cook and try out new recipes - especially from Pinterest!
6) I love to have friends over for game nights - Cranium is one of my favs! I'm also loving Song Pop!

9) I don't know what I'd do without my DVR, Hulu and Netflix! I'm a t.v./movie junkie!
10) I've only been sewing since 2009. I learned to sew in a one night marathon sewing 101 session with my friend Patti. It boggled my mind at first, but finally it all sank in!

Scrapbuster Project
In my latest edition of American Patchwork & Quilting I saw this lovely quilt pattern called Charming Addition by Kathie Holland.
I knew immediately that this was a quilt that I needed to do! I loved the plus signs patches and absolutely LOVED the fact that it was a scrapbuster quilt!!! In Kathie's quilt she didn't repeat a single fabric and so I'm challenging myself to do the same! It's also been a good project to straighten up all of those bins that so easily get out of order! I'm excited about this new project and can't wait to see how it turns out!!
Don't forget, in honor of Veteran's Day I'm running a special in my Etsy shop from 11/9-11/12.
Use code VET5OFF to take 5% off your order!
