I always enjoy these types of posts on other crafty blogs. (So I thought I'd share some more about me).
1. My claim to marital fame is that the hubby thinks my home baked chocolate chip cookies are tons better than his mother's. There are never any leftovers when bringing them to a potluck or bake sale. (Thank you Mom!)
2. I despise clowns. They are scary. (I'm not sure where or when the fear originated.)
3. I've read every one of James Patterson's mysteries and usually finish them in one day. (...Patiently waiting for his new release.)
4. I often wonder why boys' hair is always thicker and their eyelashes always longer than their female counterparts. (My boys included.)
5. Engineers made turn signals on vehicles for a reason. (What makes certain drivers not use them?)
6. My boys sleep in the same bunk beds that my twin and I had when we were little. (I think that's neat.)
7. I live in a city with 565 other individuals and have to travel 30 miles one way to work every day. (Small towns have the best school systems!)
8. I love working on my Mac computer but don't own an iphone or ipad. (An ipod shuffle treats me well.)
9. I'm not quite sure of the purpose of mustard (yuck) other than permantly staining white shirts. (Ketchup is a close second.)
10. The smell of baby lotion from the pink bottle will always make me feel like I'm a good mama. (And I recall the creases and smiles of my babies and that warms my heart.)

ReplyDeleteSweet little monster card, Karen! And your "ramblings" are great! Mmmmmm...chocolate chip cookies!! I love reading James Patterson too! Funny thing about the clowns---have you noticed that you don't see much clown stuff in the paper crafts world either??? Hmmmm....must be a lot of people who dislike clowns.
