I really am a horrible blogger. Just haven't felt up to blogging, I have thought in my head of blogging and think about things to blog about...but never get it on "paper".
However
Drea has given me a reason to. I received the above blogging award, what a great reason to blog!
Here's the dealio...
*Say thank you and give a link to the presenter of the award
*Share “10 Honest Things” about myself
*Present the award to 9 other bloggers whose blogs I find brilliant in content and/or design or to those who have encouraged me
*Be sure to tell the 9 bloggers chosen that you are giving them the Honest Scrap award and provide the guidelines for them
So now I will tell you 10 things about me:
1. I listen to Christian music in the car when I'm alone. It's my quiet time during the busy hustle and bustle. There really are some great bands out there with meaningful messages.
2. I won't be winning mother of the year anytime soon. There are so many things I do wrong or could do better. Oh well. They have a roof over their heads, food on the table and they aren't in jail. Win, Win.
3. I love to laugh. I surround myself with funny people that keep me smiling and laughing all day. Sorry if you are not my friend. Must mean you aren't funny.
4. If I didn't scrap I don't know what I would do. Being creative is my therapy and my way to escape the real world.
5. Honestly I don't know that I can come up with 5 more things.
6. I am hugely self conscious.
7. One of my biggest dreams in life is to get my degree and graduate from college.
8. Hi, my name is Wendy and I have OCD.
9. Only one more honest thing to think of.
10. I eat raw cookie dough. I have a very soft spot for sweets and could eat candy and anything else that is not good for you all day long!
Instead of tagging people (I'm too lazy to hyperlink their names, etc), if you are reading this, thank you, I want you to steal this award and post these 10 honest things on your blog too!

Well not much is going on. Life is good.
I'm heading to four day scrapbook retreat next weekend and I can't wait. I'm so excited to spend four days with myself and paper. No kids. No husband. My mp3 and I are going to melt away the worries of life and just scrap. Did I mention I will be receiving a massage while I'm there too? Well, I am and I can't wait for that also! My back has really been hurting lately and I haven't been sleeping well so I think the four days of rest and relaxation is needed.
I hear from a lot that I go away to scrapbook things a lot. Yes, I do. I actually take offense from a few that make it sound like I don't spend the time with my family that I should. That going and having fun, scrapbooking, etc ... that time should be spent at home.
I'm proud that I am able to do what I'm able to do. I have a very supportive husband that has his hobbies and so he kicks me out the door often to go do my own thing. The kids are in very capable hands while I'm gone. I miss them tremendously while I'm gone, but I also need my time to myself.
I also do what I do to support a local company/business. I really enjoy my local scrapbook store owner and anything I can do to keep her business going I will. I know that I am blessed to have extra cha-ching to go and enjoy my hobby and to have the family that supports it.
I will have photo's soon of Olivia's first dance performance. She was in a parade, but didn't perform. This time they will actually be dancing. I'm super excited to see it tomorrow!
Signing off for now. I hope to post again soon.
