On to the award!!!!
The rules of The Versatile Blogger award are:
* Thank the person that gave you the award, and link to them in your post. (Check!)
* Tell us 7 things about yourself. (k....)
* Award 15 recently discovered new bloggers. (recently??? .. I'll try..)
Seven things....
1. I have a tattoo. Wanna know what it is? See the frog in my banner?? yep, that's it. I designed it and had the artist put it on my upper back. I use it for all my "logo" items, because no one can dispute it. It's mine. I can prove it.. :D
2. I am ADDICTED to the color green. If it is green... I want it... NOW. Seriously, it's ridiculous. Sometimes I have to look at things in another color to decide if I really want the item... or I just want the green. If I just want the green.. I usually force myself to put it back.. usually...

3. I have been Laid off... Twice. I'm a former professional graphic artist as well as an art teacher by degree. I lost the the art teacher position, because the superintendent lost my grant.... (no, I'm not bitter about about that at alllllll....) Lost the Graphic Artist job because Lil'C was coming home from the NICU... so the paper decided to let me go.
4. Big C, Lil'C and I are currently living at my parents. Big C has been having trouble finding a decent job and I need to be a WAHM/SAHM with Lil'C. So I clean house and am in charge of the garden.
umm.... what else...
5. I have been crocheting for 25 years. Yeah.. I was about 2 or 3 when I learned to chain. I don't really remember learning at all.
6. I love to design my own clothing, but I have to have my mother, sister, or husband "approve" of any article before I wear it in public. Sometimes things don't work as well as I think they do... They are all OCD perfectionists.
7. I once worked 6 months on a sweater and then had it catch fire the first time I wore it... Did you know smoke bombs will spark when tilted? Yeah.. neither did my brother....
