***********************************************************
NOW, on to my next award! Some of my answers may be the same sew bear with me!!! This award was given to me by my dear friend, Susan

I was also tagged by Susan with this:



The criteria for this one is:

1. Post the button
2. Tell 10 things about yourself
3. Tag 5 bloggers

Here are my 10 things about me:

1. I have only been blogging since May of this year and crafting since January of last year. I'm a newbie!

2. I am the oldest of 4 children with a big difference of ages between us. My one brother is 5 years younger, my next brother is 10 years younger and my sister is 12 years younger!

3. I was a Girl Scout Leader and Trainer for 9 years.

4. I have a warped sense of humor. I have been known to break out in song lyrics or lyrics from movies and/or television if the mood strikes me or the conversation!

5. My favorite colors are red and teal just not together. Guess you could say mainly jewel tones.

6. I have been married 3 times. First marriage was a mess but I was blessed with my beautiful daughter, Jen who just became a mother of my beautiful granddaughter, Lily. My husband has 3 children. His son Jerry Jr has a son age 4 named Jerry III, and a daughter age 1 named Ashley. His oldest daughter Barbara who we affectionately call Cissy has a daughter by the name of Sasha who just turned 6 and loves to craft with Grammie Lynne. His younger daughter, Jean, has 2 adorable boys by the name of Zack who is 6 and will be 7 in April and Nick who just turned 5.

7. My first love was quilting but after shattering my left arm, that has become more difficult. I saw the Cricut on television and realized that the paper piecing is very similar to piecing quilting. Now with my paper piecing and quilting - I tend to do the wild thang and not the conventional!

8. I love Disney with my favorite movie, The Fox and the Hound with my favorite expression is "I'm A Hound dawg!" Okay, its not the same without the drawl . . . but you get my drift! My other favorite of Disney is of course Winnie the Pooh --- I have the tattoo to prove that on my upper right thigh . . . we'll just leave it at that for now!

9. I have always lived in Pittsburgh, PA. I had traveled in my much younger years with Youth for Christ retreats. And are you ready for this, I will be 60 next year and have never flown!!! Ok, I put that on my "bucket list"!!! LOL

10. I am very very blessed by the lovely crafty beautiful friends that I have met and made on line through blogging. Also, I can thank Kari who is the one who had inspired me to start a blog and was always inspired by Canadian Nickel and was thrilled to be a Guest Designer for her!

The 5 bloggers I am tagging are: 

Congrats all and can't wait to read more about you all :) Until next time.....

God Bless
Hugs and Love
Lynne

7 things about Me:
  • I was born and raised in Pittsburgh, PA but I am not a sports fan even with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Pittsburgh Pirates, and Pittsburgh Penguins in town!
  • My Dad was in the air corp when I was born and was stationed in TX and HI but I was left with my grandparents and my aunt who was still living at home. I loved living with my Grandparents - it was a quiet simple life and I have wonderful fond memories. I learned my values along with my love of God from them
  • I've been married 3 times. The most wonderful thing that I got from my first marriage is my daughter, Jennifer. Who is not only the love of my life but my hero! She graduated from Duquesne University with her Master's Degree in Pharmacy. She married 3 years ago and in March of this year became the mother, which makes me Grandma, to the most beautiful baby girl you would ever see, Lily.
  • My second marriage was to Bob, a wonderful talented man who was 22 years my senior. We had a great life and I had someone who cherised me. We had a lot of common interests including dancing, camping, trying new foods and recipes. He played the organ, piano, guitar, and trumpet and had a great voice. He would play our favorite songs in the evening. We were thrilled when I became pregnant. When our beautiful daughter, was born she had a grand mal seizure and a stroke. The doctors gave her 3 to 6 months but we were blessed as we had Amalia (named after my grandmother) for 25 months. I have a precious angel to watch over me along with my grandparents. The death of a child can be a couple together or cause friction. For Bob and I, it was friction and we were divorced.
  • I married 3 years ago to Jerry and am blessed with our blended family. Jerry has 2 beautiful daughters and 1 son. Now to add to the mix - his son Jerry, has 2 children (Ashley, age 1, and Jerry III, age 3), his daughter Barbara, who we affectionately call Cissy, has a beautiful daughter (Sasha, age 6) who I watch during the week; and his youngest daughter Jean has 2 boys (Zack, age 6, and Nick, just turned 5) . I am blessed with the blended family.
  • I am not a very confident person. To overshadow this, I act the act of a clown. I feel I have beaten down time and time again and find it hard to believe in myself with coming from abusive and demeaning relationships.
  • I love to cook!! I got this love of cooking from my grandmother and my aunt. They both were phenomenal cook! I've learned different foods and cooking techniques from my experiences in life! I used to decorate cakes for holidays and birthdays also but now have turned over the pastry tube to Jean as after I shattered my left arm as it is difficult to do a lot of things such as cake decorating.
Well, that is a little about me. Please stop by Barb's blog and the seven (7) ladies I have passed this award to!!!! And, thank you Barb again for this award!

God Bless 
Hugs and Love,
Lynne
