Blog Award Combined with Tagging Questions....

Happy Saturday friends!

It's supposed to be freezing rain on this side of my world

 hopefully you are all safe, cozy and warm where you are!

Mrs. C over at My Amazing Fabulous Wedding & Life of My Dreams chose me as of the recipients of the Tell Me About Yourself Award and so i decided to accept the award and combine it to three tags i received this week.  Just so i don't overwhelm you all with information about myself.

So many of the questions i answered WERE awesome 

and definitely inspired many blog posts i am already cultivating.  

Thanks ladies for your creative questions. 

 Without further delay, here are my answers...
