I Am Featured On....

My closet turned turned entryway was chosen to be on the DIY Showoff. I am a religious follower of Roeshel's blog and have gotten a lot of ideas from her and her follower's craftiness.

Enjoy it here: http://thediyshowoff.blogspot.com/2011/01/closet-to-mudroom.html

Thanks again Roeshel!

7 Interesting Things About Me:

• I am a retired writer/poet (for now) and my works have been published in magazines.
• Give me a Tim Horton's Iced Cappuccino and I will be happy. (If you haven't tried one yet..what are you waiting for?!)
• I am an exact copy of my mom and I love it.
• I don't really care for pizza or fast food.
• I have extremely long toes and can pick objects up with them.
• I still have and sleep with my baby blanket/pillow. I don't have an unnatural attachment to it, like I have to fall asleep with them, but my husband doesn't mind!
• I can do an amazing Boston accent - Watching Cops feeds my addiction and makes me go off on a tangent for about 30 minutes saying things like, "I need to go out for 'cowfee' with Jerome" and "I told Johnny I didn't want him out of the house past midnight 'cause he'll be in 'danga'."
