A Stylish Blog Award

I have been totally blessed lately with getting this award from not one but two lovely ladies, Patrice and Susan. As copied off Patrice's blog, the rules are:

- thank and link to the person who gave this award
- share 8 things about myself
- pass it on to 8 others
- let them know about the award

Simple!

So here are some of my fav Stylish Blogs:

Patrice Easton - Spring Blossom Musings
Bronwyn Eastley - addINKtive designs
Sam Post - Ryemilan' Stamping and Scrapbooking
Paula Dobson - Stampinantics
Mae Collins - Mae's Cachet
Karen Thomas - Luv To Stamp
Gardenia Pepworth - A Little Less Useless
Trish Radacs - Spring Blossom Journey

And 8 things about me:
#1 - After over 3yrs of looking and waiting and procrastinating, I finally bought another car!
#2 - I drink far far far too much Pepsi-Max and can't really see a day that I don't.
#3 - I have 9 hens, 1 rooster, 3 "teen-age" chicks and 1 baby chick.
#4 - I love working on my parents farm. Love getting my hands dirty and learning new farm things.
#5 - I hope to get to QLD later this year to take my daughter on a special "mummy/daughter" holiday.
#6 - But before the QLD holiday, I'm hoping to take my daughter camping this month - our first time besides the time on my parents front lawn! (not my 1st time camping but OUR first time camping! - I'm an old-hand! haha).
#7 - I have a slight obssession with curries at the moment!
#8 - I hope to paint my daughters room and my craft room with a feature wall each before school goes back (pics will be here on my blog when I do!)

It's so fun to learn new stuff about people! Hope you liked learning a little bit more about me!

After a busy little day today, I came home to find:
- a CREDIT invoice from Telstra (not something you see everyday!)
- a letter from the Department Of Education with my Safety Screening Assessment (been waiting for it to arrive)
AND

THEN...I jump on the comp for a while to find that Claire Dauncey has awarded me with this special award! Go have a look through her awesome blog, Coffee At Claires, here.
