Light Whimsy

 

I got this award from two people!  Wow!  

OhhSnap at Ohhsnapper

and

the wonderful PinkE  whose work I completely adore

The rule:  Write 10 things about yourself others might not know and pass the award on to 10 others.  There are lots of people I wanted to pass the award on to, but I tried to find people who didn’t already have the award.

Ten things about me:

1.        I live in Italy.  Living here is harder than I thought, learning the language is tough, but I’m living the journey and learning everyday about an exciting culture.

2.      I get to go back to the U.S. in 18 more months.  Truly the greatest country in the world.

3.      I am a new grandma and am excited about it!

4.      My mother is only 17 years older than me.  My baby sister is 11 years younger than me.

5.      I love and miss my dog, Koda, a yellow lab, that I had to leave in the U.S. with my son and his wife.

6.      My husband is retired from the Navy.  He doesn’t miss it.  I do.

7.      I love to craft with paper and polymer clay.  Cards are my biggest passion.

8.     I’m a certified wedding and events coordinator.

9.      I have three wonderful sons who blessed me with daughters when they married.

10.  I love the Lord, My God, with all my heart, soul and strength.  I am truly blessed.
