I've been tagged...

Gabby tagged me...so here goes!

These are the rules:
*You must post the rules before you give your answers.

*You must list one fact about yourself for each letter of your middle name. Each fact must begin with that letter. If you don't have a middle name, just use your maiden name.

Must always have some kind of music around me whether I'm stamping or cleaning the house.

Always leaves a mess when stamping a project... It seems to take me a few days to clean my room up.

Every wednesday I go to my church for choir practice.

Now I get to tag someone...

Thank you all...

Thank you all foe the encouragement in the last post and and all the wonderful comments on my last card. I have enjoyed reading everyone. Mom is doing much better now in rehab and gets to come home on Christmas for a few hours to spend with the family but she turns into a pumpkin if she is not back by midnight... at least that is how we are saying it. If she isn't back by then we have to go through all the paper work and getting her readmitted to the rehab all over again and boy was that no picnic.

Well it seems I was tagged by one of you and I have taken my time in responding due to everything going on with mom and now my little one is sick too. Spent the night last night at the er... go to love a 5 hour visit to send me home and say if she isn't better in three days bring her back. Oh well...

Now for the tag....

I was tagged by Marilyn one of my bloggin sisters. Well I know have to post seven things about me that you may not know....

1. My Husband and kids, we all get to choose a new Christmas Ornament to go on our tree each year. It seems this year I had a hard time picking mine but I finally decided on this one...
I'm a big Disney princess fan and love this ornament. She is so beautiful...

2. I have been taking piano lessons now for alittle over a month and a half... I always wanted to do this and my husband has encouraged me to do it now... I played the flute and piccolo in High school and college so I already had some ability to read music.






3. Ever wonder what I've been using as a backdrop for my pictures lately...

yup it is my Christmas tree... I love Christmas and all its trimmings.

4. I am married to a wonderful man who is in the navy and encourages me with all my hobbies. We are looking at our 7th anniversary in a few more months. Wow I can't believe it has been that many years....

5. As well as stamping, music and photography.. I like to write short stories and have a few stored up on my computers hard drive... don't have the courage to share them as of yet but maybe someday...

6. I love reading as most would call them trash novels but I like to read regency based romance novels. Johanna Lindsey is one of my favorite authors of all times.

7. I'm also a party lite junkie... I have a great rep who sends me all kinds of info on their specials and I can't resists their candles and beautiful products. I have even gotten a few of my friends buying their products lately... but I am not ready to become a demo for them yet I love my Stampin Up! too much.

Tagged and why I have yet to post this week...

Well first off I am so sorry to have neglected my blog this week but I bet you would have too for the same reason. My husband is finally home after a seven month deployment with the navy and we are all trying to spend as much time together as possible... however today he had to go into work and tomorrow he will not be home because he will be back to the daily grind of duty ever few days. But maybe I will find some time to play with some stamping tonight and tomorrow.

Now on to the tagging. I was tagged twice by Jen and Linda. With this game of tag I have to list seven things about myself and tag seven other bloggers. Well here goes nothing.

1. I am married and have three beautiful children.

2. I have a tendency to horde my craft supplies such as ribbon and hardware... anyone have a way to break this habit... post a comment on here if you have any ideas on how I can do better.

3. I love to sing and actually I am very active in my church choir.

4. I was in the band in highschool and played both the flute and piccolo... I even took lessons in college.

5. In highschool I never took an art class but took one semester course in college on basic design.

6. I have now lived in three different states within the last 6 years of my life due to the military moving us. These states are VA born and raised, CT last station we were at and now we have bought and hope to remain here in NC. But that will be up to the navy again.

7. I also can't go off here with out telling you all of my love for both cats and dogs... so much so my husband has now put me on the limit of no more animals here at the house... 3 cats and 3 dogs ... do you think that is enough.

Well now it is the time for me to tag a few of my fellow bloggers...
