Stylish Blogger Award

I received this award from my wonderful, supportive and inspirational upline, Beth Wilson.  Her blog can be found here.  I am so excited to have joined a team with such a terrific leader!

With this award I'm supposed to:
1) Thank the person who gave this award to me and link it back to their blog.  (Thank you, Beth!)
2) Share 8 things about myself
3) Pass this award to 8 other individuals that I have recently discovered
4) Leave a comment on their blogs so that they can pass along the recognition!

Eight things about ME:
1.)  I am a child of God!
2.)  I am blessed with the best husband and daughter in the world!
3.)  Since I haven't figured out (yet) how to make stamping my full time job, I teach pre-k to support my creative habits.  :)
4.)  I discovered a love of running a few years ago and have since completed 2 half marathons.  An unexpected surgery set me back and I'm trying to get back to that distance.  It's a slow process.
5.)  I love peanut butter and can eat it by the spoonful.  Hence the need to run. 
6.)  I grew up spending summers at the Jersey shore and dream about someday having a beach home there.
7.)  I've enjoyed crafting since I was a child--scrapbooking, cross stitching, wood painting, and of course, stamping. 
8.)  I treat my birthday like a huge holiday and try to stretch the celebration out over a whole week. 

Now I get to pass this award on to 8 other bloggers I have recently discovered.  I chose some fellow Stampin' Up! demonstrators who have given me some ideas! Please check out their blogs because I enjoy visiting them and I am sure you will too.
