I was given this by SB of the Not Too Serious I Hope blog. She has been so great about reading, commenting and promoting this site since she found it! We are very grateful to her!

With this award, I'm supposed to tell you seven interesting things about myself and pass it on to 7 other creative bloggers...

1. My daughter was born at 12:01 am after 14 hours of labor, and a c-section. She really just did not want to come out.
2. If I had the money, I would have a HUGE shoe and purse collection. My husband thinks I already do.
3. I dream of being an author.
4. I have lots of metal in me. I have three screws in my femur, a plate and five screws in my tibia and a t-plate and 7 screws in my foot. All on the right side.
5. If I could, I would move back to CA in a heart beat.
6. I am the youngest of 8. Yes, I said 8!
7. I am addicted to Facebook.

I would like to pass this award on to:

1. Briana at The Book Pixie
   
2. Speed Reader at My Favorite Author (My old blogging haunt! Check it out!)
3. Jenn at Books at Midnight
4. All the Reviewers at Teen Lit Review
5. Robert at Boy With Books
