2. Pass on the award to 15 other bloggers who you think are GREAT!
3. Contact the other bloggers and let them know they have been chosen for this award.
4. Say 6 things that you are a


MASTER AT....
1. Shopping, particularly bargain shopping! I know how to get a sale on just about anything! :)
2. Eating Chips and French Onion Dip! I could LIVE on this one food!
3. Being an Economist...haha, I wish! I guess I should revise this to say I am a master at working my booty off to get a little piece of paper that says I have a BA in Economics
4. Painting my nails! No, really, I am very good at giving myself a pedicure. People always think I had them done, but I did them myself 90% of the time. It is all in a good quality polish and high shine top coat, and of course a steady hand and long brush strokes. I am quite good at it!
5. Texting/Tweeting and Driving, sadly...I am breaking myself of this habit though. I really don't do it much anymore, just at stoplights.
6. Teaching myself things. This sounds weird, but what I mean is I learn better through making mistakes and trying things out myself than I do with a teacher explaining things to me. If I watch someone make something, or have a visual I can usually figure it out. I reupholstered our dining room chairs when I was like 15 from watching HGTV and I taught myself how to make jewelry based off a necklace I bought. I am now teaching myself how to sew and I find that looking at pictures of what others make on PatternReview.com and in blogs teaches me more than if I paid for a class. It is a good skill to have!

Adelaide at Sweet, Sassy, Southern, and Classy passed this tag along to me as well. She is one of my fave bloggers and a true friend! Thanks Adelaide!

Here are the rules:
1. Thank the person who nominated you for this award and insert a link to their blog.
2. Pass on the award to 15 other bloggers who you think are great!
3. Contact the other bloggers and let them know they have been chosen for this award.
4. Say 7 things about yourself.


1. I love to cook!
2. I am a very detail-oriented person
3. I love getting cute personalized mail like Thank You cards. Most recently, I got a valentine from Dawn at Lydia & Pugs and it really made my day! All of my cards are on a board in my room across from my bed where I can see them anytime I need a smile!
4. I have been taking these special Women's Vitamins with Biotin in them and they are making my hair grow like a weed! It is getting extremely long and I just got it cut 3 weeks ago! If you want long hair or nails, take biotin!
5. My favorite color growing up was BLUE! I wouldn't wear bows or flowers on my clothes, and I was convinced I was grown and NOT a baby! I would play games like "working mom" where I was a CEO (like I knew what that was) and I would have to take my baby dolls to my mom to babysit while I went to the office. I was a trip! Don't let it fool you though, I was a prissy child who wouldn't play outside much and just wanted to play barbies and American Girl dolls.
6. My top 4 bands of all time are as follows in no particular order: The Beatles, Queen, Fleetwood Mac, and Simon and Garfunkal. I am an old soul!
7. I also like to listen to new music like Christian and Country. I am clueless when it comes to Pop or Rap though. When I was in high school, I never knew the songs that everyone was singing and I would have to pretend to know it for fear of looking dumb. Oh high school and the things we thought were important....

I am going to pass the last two tags to any of my followers that would like to play along!

Thanks everyone! I am sorry it took me so long to get this posted and for the lack of posts lately! I have been extremely busy at work, at school, and at home! In fact, I don't even think I added links to this post and for that you must forgive me. I have literally been working on this post for 3 days now, but every time I sit down to write it I get interrupted! I have so many saved drafts for posts right now piling up, but no time to finish writing them! I am going to try to remedy that this weekend! I finished my pink seersucker dress and it is PERFECT! Not one issue with the whole thing! I am going to post that ASAP! I look forward to talking with all of y'all very soon! We have so much to catch up on! Have a great Friday!
