Honesty Counts




Thank you, Mari, from Mis Amores, who sent me this thoughtful gift. I love being honored with the tag "Honest", because I hold honesty and truthfulness in very high regard.

Here's how this tag works:
1. Make a link to whomever sent you the tag.

Mari has a beautiful family, filled with love. When I read Mari's blog, I feel the most jealous about not having a daughter to share my love of craft. Mari and her daughter do so much together. I can only imagine their special time spent beading, working clay, and learning new crafts. My heart is warm with love after a visit to Mari's blog. Thank you Mari!


2. Disclose ten truths about yourself, known or unknown. (I'm not sure how you can list a truth you don't know about!)
- I have a wonderful husband and two sons, aged 11 and 13
- I have a Portuguese Water Dog named Lola, who is my sweetie girl and all around best friend :o)
- I have a 22 year old cockatiel, named Birdita, who is a boy, but I gave him a girl name before I learned his sex. He's had gender confusion for 22 years!
- I am a Virgo, semi organized, but a lover of all things orderly.
- I think I drive some people crazy with my persistence. (I really don't mean to!)
- I teach craft classes, and I really love doing so.
- I am 100% girly and a lover of all things cute, especially if it involves a birdy or two.
- I worked in the art field for 20 years, and quit to start my business two years ago. I am loving every minute of it, except for waiting to hear back from the proposals I've sent out :-# urrrgh!
- My birthday is on Monday, August 31st!
- I'm a loyal, supportive and true friend, and I believe I was a healer in my last life...
