I've been Tackle Tagged! By Linda, Gina, Christine, Michelle and Michelle!Thanks girls:) I am suppose to reveal 7 things about myself and then choose 7 other people to do the same. Here it goes....Are you sure you want to know?

1. I go to bed really late ( 3 or 4 am) and wake up late ( usually 10). My girls sleep late and my boys take care of themselves....Lucky Me:) So, once I wake up I am always rushing to get going and for breakfast I like to eat..............a candy bar! YUCK!!! My favorite is TWIX.

I need to stop doing that.

2. I have a very small, tiny, little crush on Christian Bale. (My husband knows). Seriously, it's about as big as this dash, - very, very small. Ya.


3. I am a fantasy freak! Fantasy books and movies are my favorite! When Lord of the Rings Return of the King came out, I made all of my family plus my dad, 2 brothers, and a sister in-law dress up in LOTR costumes that I made for them and then go to the midnight movie, opening night! Should you feel bad for them? Probably, but they had fun.


4. Sometimes, I cut my own hair. I always cut my own bangs. (Don't tell my hair stylist) I'm sure she has figured it out by now.

5. I LOVE Disneyland. I would move in to Tarzan's tree house if they would let me!

6. I played competitive tennis growing up. I even lost a doubles match to Lindsay Davenport once. The score was 6-0, 6-1. My doubles partner Adrien and I won 1 game. Pretty cool huh?

7. I am not suppose to drink COKE. My husband hates that I do and always tells me how bad it is for me.

I know, I Know....but I have 4 kids, stay up too late, and it just tastes soooo good sometimes. I have a secret hiding place for my COKES in case of an emergency!

Do you still like me????

I'm going to tag Sandra, Judy, Dayna, Crystal, Tori, Mandy, and Amie!!!

The Perfect Way to start my new blog! My super talented aunt Lila owns a store here called Color Me Mine. She is an amazing seamstress, artist, decorator, mother, and wife! I really admire and look up to her.

She is always inspiring me to be more creative.




I recently ordered some Made To Match plates from her. I am in the process of making somenew pillows for my couches and thought some of her plates would be the perfect addition for my decor. I think they turned out beautifully! I cried with excitement when I opened the bag. The bright, vivid colors and amazing artwork are just what this room needed. I still have a matching platter that I need to pick up so check back next week for more pictures. I will be offering some of Lila's hand painted pieces on my blog in the near future and some of her stunning purses as well!
