Another day, another tag, will this ever end??? LOL My SAS-y buddy Candee from CanDesigns got me this time around. 

I have to tell my bloggies (you) 7 things about me that you don’t already know. And I’m sure the people I tag have to do the same and so on, and so on, like that annoying commerical from when I was a kid.

1. With the Olympics and Gymnastics in the news I am reminded that way back when, I took gymnastics and dreamed of being in the Olympics someday. HA! Not even close.

2. I love flowers and have them all around, but I HATE weeding.

3. My first crush eventually became my first boyfriend…but he didn’t turn out to be such a nice guy.

4. The dining room in my house is the only room I feel is complete, everything else is a work in progress.

5. I’ve never been to Chucky Cheese with the kids, but am going today…ACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m so scared.

6. I like the smell of gasoline so I actually like filling up the tank, except when the price is over $4.00 a gallon of course.

7. I like romantic chick flicks. It’s sad I know, but I do.

And I shall tag…

Hey, did you see all about the Layout Design Contest happening soon at SAS? Check this out for all the details, there are prizes for everyone who participates.

Just stopping in quick to share a couple of layouts from my new kit Suburban Backyard…it’s a fun one!

This is one I did of my dad and my oldest son walking in the park. The font was the Blue Cabin from www.kevinandamanda.com and the tint I used on the photo is called “Brownie” done with Virtual Photographer, a Phtotoshop plugin I LOVE! It’s free just google it.

And the next one is by my CT member Shari and I just love the design on this, the way the papers are stacked, the page border, and all the greenery hidden behind it peeking out. You can see credits here.
