Did You Forget About Me?

Lol!  If I were you all, I'd probably forget about me!  I know... I know.  It's been 3 weeks since I last posted to my blog.  Shame on me! I just don't know... the Winter is really taking a toll on me this year.  I just don't feel like doing much of anything (except trying to keep warm).  I really have total lack of motivation it seems and just when the snow finally melts away we get bombarded with more.  I've also been sick... bad cough and congestion and to my hubby's delight, I even lost my voice for a few days, lol! So, I know, I need to just quit complaining and hope that you'll all remember me, lol! 


Anyway, I'm back, and with an award!  I've been bestowed this cool little blog award by the ever so talented, Wendy Price:

So, to accept this award I first need to do a few things:
1.  Thank the person who gave the award.  Thanks soo much, Wendy! 
2.  Copy the award and put it on my blog.  I did!   
3.  List 3 things which I love about myself... 

Ohhh dear!  That's a toughie! 
Okay, I love my first name, Andrea, and always have!  I know, weird thing to love about oneself, but I often hear people say that they don't like their name. 
I love that I can find enjoyment in being creative by scrapbooking, cardmaking or crafting in general! 
And I love that I am a fairly organized person!

4.  Post a picture that you love...

Our babies with their Valentines!!

5.  And now I get to pass on the award to 5 bloggers who's blogs are sure to inspire.
I choose to award:

Rebecca Keppel of My Cluttered Corner
Anabelle O'Malley of Bits and Pieces
Jamie Harder of A Happy Scrappy Place


And now before I go I wanted to share something that makes me happy!  I had some creations published in the premier issue of the Cricut magazine from Northridge Publishing and although I haven't gotten my own copy back yet with my projects, good ol' Ellen was able to snag an issue for me at CHA...


Here's a look at what I had published in there...





I really enjoyed this first issue and I'm looking forward to pouring through many more issues to come! 
And I'm also thrilled to say that I'll also have some things published in their next two issues as well!  I'd love to have something in every issue (fingers crossed)! 

Okay, time to get on my way for today, but I promise to not let another 3 weeks slip by bofore posting again!  Enjoy your week! :)

Hey there, Andrea! Thanks so much for stopping by my blog to say hello! And what a surprise to see you've passed on your sweet award to me. You just made my day, sweetie! Thank you so much!!
Sorry to hear you've been having the winter blahs and haven't been feeling well. We've had a touch of the sickies going around our house lately, too, and it sure gets old fast.
Congrats on the pubs in the new Cricket magazine and on your upcoming ones, too! Woot!!
Hope you feel better soon!
