Thanks to Connie Collins for passing the "Stylish Blogger" award along to me.

Part of the award is to do the following:
1) thank the person who gave this award to me and link it back to their blog
2) share 8 things about myself
3) pass this award to 8 other individuals that I have recently discovered                
4) leave a comment so that they can pass along the recognition:

Okay - here are 8 things about myself

1. I started scrapbooking 14 years ago.  Some of those early albums are a hoot to see - but full of precious memories.
2.  I've just started my 9th year as a Stampin' UP! demo.
3.  I have 3 children - Katie (26), Alex (21) and Samantha (17).
4.  We have a dog (Murray), a cat (Max) and a bunny (Penelope). 
5.  I love to read.  About 2 years ago I discovered audiobooks for my IPhone and I've been hooked ever since.
6.  I'm currently involved in a project called "Throw Out 50 Things" with a group of friends. 
7.  Though originally from Ohio, I've lived in Lexington for more years than I'm going to admit here! 
8.  We have a family farm here that has been in our family for almost 225 years. 

Enough about me!  Here are some other lovely blogs run by some "Stylish Bloggers!"

And last, but not least, here's a pic of the tissue paper flowers that Samantha and I made for my Stamp Out Winter Doldrums 10-10-20 last week.  The picture was hard to take because of the light fixture - but I hope it puts a bit of spring in your day! 


Hugs, Fran
