I was tagged with the Stylish Blogger Award!!! First I would like to say thank you to all of the following ladies:

LadyLash from No Naked Nails
Loodie from Loodie Loodie Loodie

Second, I would like to apologizes for taking so long to post this! My life is turned upside down when school begins. Yay for a snow day and time to have some fun :)

So the rules for this award are:

Thank and link the person who gave you the award.

Write 7 random facts about you.

Give this award to 15 other Bloggers and notify them about it!

7 random facts.....................hmmmm, well here goes:

1. I'm obsessed with image plates! I want them all. I can map a line from here to downtown with all of the plates I own.

2. I love exercising and staying fit (at least in the summertime). Once the cold weather hits, I'm a total slacker. I barely have the energy to get out of bed. I can just sit home all day and eat twinkies and drink coffee.

3. Speaking of coffee, I'm a total coffee junkie. I drink 5-6 cups a day and more when I have an exam.

4. I get 5-6 hours of sleep a night. My school schedule is hectic and throws my sleep cycle off, then I'm miserable for 4 months. If I don't get at least 7 hours of sleep I'm a total crank monster.

5. I've learned how to take an exam on only 3 hours of sleep. I read that you should never do that, but I'm always afraid of failing so I go over the material over and over. My motto is "Go to sleep and wake-up with an F"!


6. I love romance movies. With all this free time on my hands I just may watch Pride & Prejudice. It's one of my favorites :)

7. I love projects and trying new things. DH always wonders what I'm going to do next............

.......and here's a Valentine themed mani to match the Award.

Lastly, I'm supposed to tag 15 people with this award. But how can I choose only 15 from so many great bloggers! So if you're reading this, you've been tagged!!!!

Guess what else? My Chez-Delaney image plate came and I'm SUPER excited!!! My daughter was ill at school yesterday and I left to go pick her up. When I returned it was waiting for me at my door step. I love it when I get surprises. I guess it was not really a surprise because I was expecting it, but it came when I didn't expect it. Does that make since? LOL

Anyways, I'm totally in love with this plate and I had so much fun stamping away yesterday. When DH came home, he smiled because he knew how much this would make me happy. I tried out a few of the images yesterday and they all worked great! I'll post pictures later because I have a paper to do over the weekend. I'm trying to force myself to be disciplined and work on it while my daughter is asleep and hopefully that way I'll be more productive. I'll try to get the stamping photos up later tonight or tomorrow.

Have a great weekend!

Thank You and Blog Award!!!!

Hi ladies!!! I wanted to make a post to THANK YOU all for your support, sweet comments on my blog and voting for me last week. On Monday I found out I won Chez-Delaney's Halloween contest and I'm ecstatic to say the least. I still can't believe I won and I'm so happy and greatful everyone took the time out on the Holiday to vote for me. I know to some it's just an image plate but for me it's one of the best gifts I could receive. I feel honored to have been recognized by you all, new and experienced nail polish connoisseurs. Thanks again for your acknowledgment and support!!!

I love this picture because it reminds me of my daughters. This is a pic of a Beluga whale & baby swimming together. We were going to a dolphin show and the mother was part of the act. They were very friendly and came near us before the performance. My daughters loved talking to them.

I'm not sure if I was supposed to but I decided to add a little note as to why I awarded these ladies.

Susie is one of the friendliest bloggers I know. She always encourages and promotes new bloggers.
Katrina has great nail art and a sunny disposition.
Lily is another sweetie and updates her blog several times a week. She is really committed to blogging and it shows.
Thriszha is too fab for words. She has the most creative nail stamping designs.
Doll Face is so creative. I like how she uses things around the house and turns them into little masterpieces.

Thanks again Caramel!!!
