A Blog Award from my friend Mary!

My dear friend and fellow stamper Mary has honored me with the Versatile Blogger Award!  Thank you so much Mary, I am honored that you chose me as someone to receive this award!  I had taken a little time off from blogging for a while but I am back now and really enjoying it again!   Mary's blog has been such an inspiration to me, she is such a talented and creative person and you can see all of her wonderful creations here at her blog My Stampin' Hideaway. 

As part of receiving this award I am to tell you seven things about myself and then pass this award on to other fellow bloggers.  Here are seven things about me that you might not know:

1.  I met my current husband at 7/11 when I worked there part-time as a second job to support myself and two children after a divorce.  He was a customer for about a year before we actually started dating.  We will be celebrating our 12th anniversary in May!
2.  I got my motorcycle license at the ripe old age of 49!  I just sold my Harley a few months ago as I hadn't been riding much after my dh sold his bike to buy a race car.  Maybe someday we will ride again, who knows?
3.  I taught country line dancing for several years and our group performed at the Maryland State Fair.
4.  I make a mean pot of beef vegetable soup!
5.  I am a descendant of Johann Sebastian Bach on my mother's side.
6.  I recently changed jobs after being in the same job for over 23 years.  I was a secretary and have now moved into the Human Resources field.
7.   I went on my first cruise last summer and can't wait to go on another one!
 
I am now supposed to pass this award on to fellow bloggers who have inspired me and I have chosen the following people:

Amanda - Stamp Me
Ann - The Stampin' Schach
Holly - Rubber Redneck
Linda - Linda's Stamping Blog
Vera - Vera Stamps
