Wow! Thank you...




I woke up this morning and checked my reader on my phone and had such a pleasant surprise waiting for me...
I've been featured on Today's Creative Blog!  Thank you Kim, I'm so excited! I've been such a fan for a long time!!!!


Now I'm a bit embarrassed.... thanks for the nice comments but I must share with you a few "true confessions"... I mean we've got to keep it "real" here...

-Sometimes if I don't go "out" that day I wear the same outfit 2 days in a row.
-I'm TERRIBLE at keeping up with the laundry- we are feast or famine in that department.
-I waste waaay too much time in any given day.
-Last Christmas I got the bright idea to make sock monkeys for all my kids (my daughter wanted one). I bought the socks, got one half way sewn.. then tried to stuff it.. It was all lumpy and wonky looking... I threw it back in the "bin" and there it sits to this day.
-I can't see the surface of my scrapbook table right now.
-I made a girl at church a matching blanket/burp cloths/receiving blanket, with her daughters name on it. I finished it when her baby was 1 month old... she just got it last week.. her baby is now 8 months old! Yes embarrassing.
-I like to eat Ramen Noodles, dry right from the package... (gross & unhealthy I know! but super crunchy!!)
-My last OB Dr. checkup I told her I exercised 3 times a week... I lied, it's more like 1-2...
-90% of the time when I craft I sit and think to myself "I have NO IDEA what I'm doing!!!"
-I drink too much Diet Coke.

So there you go... a few confessions... 
And a big THANK YOU again, to Today's Creative Blog!

Angie said...

SO glad to read this. After the write up on TCB I wasn't sure you were a real person. Love live Diet Coke. And Moda fabric.

Heather said...

Hey--so fun to know someone famous! I felt compelled to tell everyone who reads TCB that you also are a great cook--wish you would post recipes now and then too since I'm not around the ward to pick them up anymore. Well deserved praise!

Anita said...

Congratulations! I love your confessions...and I can relate to quite a few of them as well.

Jennifer @ The Craft House said...

Congratulations! That is so exciting I bet! You deserve it for sure. :)

I must say that I relate to most of what you listed. XD

Lynette said...

Those confessions are nothing...I do almost all of those things too! You have an awesome blog with so many super creative ideas!!!

Great job!

I saw that this morning and thought it was well deserved, congrats!

I love your confessions and other than the fact that I don't drink pop and don't work out at all we are a lot alike ;).

Bobbie said...

I have followed you for awhile and love your blog. Then today when I saw your feature (also on a blog that I follow:) I was like I totally need to follow that blog too. Duh I promise I am not a blonde

You and your blog are adorable! Kim is golden for introducing us to fun places like this - and your confessions make me like you even more :)

Steph @ somewhatsimple said...

How fun! I love that blog!

momaof4 said...

Love your confessions. I think all moms do those things!! Even if they don't admit it!

Kim -today's creative blog said...

Hmmm,
Let's see.... I JUST cleaned off my scrapbook table and JUST unpacked all my stuff from a crop I went to in MAY!
My girlfriend had a baby in June....I have only seen the baby once and still haven't gotten a present.
I don't do our laundry, my husband does. Otherwise it would never be done.
Shall I go on?
:)
Email me for your button code....or did I already do that?

Oh Melissa there is a reason we are friends. :) I can relate with #1, #2, #3, #4 (although my confession is that whatever I start gets put on the back burner and I never get around to it), #7 (haven't had it in a long time, but maybe I'll go revisit), #8 (I always overstate how much I really exercise!), #10 (it's a sickness, really).

Love to get to know you even more. :)

Kirsten said...

Spotted you on Today's Creative Blog and had to pop by. Kim was right... AWESOME!!!!

Thanks for some great ideas...that I'll never get done

Tiffany said...

You sound like my kind of girl...except you only wear the same outfit 2 days in a row! I got you beat on that one! : )

Your blog is great! Seriously, that pink polka-dot chair is ridiculously cute and actually belongs in my house! : ) My daughter would go crazy.

Glad to have stopped by! I'll be back.

p.s. my husband grew up close to louisville but we are in Cincy now.

(I, too, need a Diet Coke 12-step program. It's a problem.)

Haha, well I think I do 95% of those plus shedloads of my own so I think you are fairly normal.
