On a whim the other day, I stopped by the Sisterhood of the Blogging Stampers website and joined another new group that was forming (hi, New Sistahs from SBS28!!). We are super small right now, but will only get bigger and better....and if it turns out to have half the super talented and wonderful ladies that my SBS9 group has, it will be great!
I am supposed to do an introduction but we all know that I don't do things in the traditional way, so I will do a random list of stuff. It seems my mind only works that way for some reason! So here goes:
Random Junk About Me
1 ~ You would think that I actually was a baseball player with the way my mind works. I know when pitchers and catchers and when the position players for the Minnesota Twins team report to spring training, I know about off-season trades and salaries, I read baseball blogs. I watch every single regular season game (which is almost every day from April to October) even if it means fast forwarding through a recorded game to see highlights. Well, you get the idea. Go Twins!! This year is our year!!
2 ~ I refer to myself as OTD. That's {Older Than Dirt}. I am the founding member of the OTD Society, but the membership is vast and varied. No dues or fees required to belong.
3 ~ If I find clothing or shoes that fit great, I buy them in multiple colors. This is why I currently have 6 pairs of J Crew corduroys in various colors and a dozen of the same Eddie Bauer t-shirt in different colors. I also have 3 dozen of the same style of underwear in different colors....wait....was that TMI?? Don't ask me to stop. I've been doing this my entire life. My motto is "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".
4 ~ {Hint: Skip over this one if you are sick of me talking about it}. I only have one more pound to go before losing a total of 70 pounds.
5 ~ I was born in and have only lived in Minnesota (Red Wing, Crystal, Plymouth, Duluth, Fridley, Minneapolis, Rochester).
6 ~ As my daughters were growing up, we taught them that there was more life to live and explore than they were going to find here in their own backyard. Maybe that's why one ended up in Nevada and one in New York.
7 ~ I've been stamping and making cards for over 20 years. I have some really old wood mounted stamps that my daughters and I used when they were little. I really got into it when I submitted and was one of the winners of the Stamp It! magazine Stamping Queen contest 4-1/2 years ago. The rest, they say, is history. Yup, I'm in it hook, line and sinker!
8 ~ I met my husband freshman year of college. He was dating another girl that lived on my floor. The next year we lived across the hall from each other in on-campus apartments. One of his roommates was someone I went to high school with, and one of my roommates was someone he went to high school with. We all hit it off really well and most of the 8 of us still keep in touch. Mike and I have been together over 30 years and married for 28-1/2.
9 ~ I love patterned paper almost as much as I love rubber stamps. I once knew someone who got a thrill from smelling their cardstock. I am not going to go that far, but pretty new paper or some new rubbah really floats my boat!
10 ~ Truthfully, by the time you get to number ten, you are digging for stuff. I will end this by saying that my favorite number is "4". Hope that was digging enough for everyone who made it to the end.
