I’m so excited for this week, we have a few things up our sleeves and I can’t wait to share!!  The {Who I am} event will continue with some more amazing ladies along with some goodies from us!  Thanks for sharing all of your amazing talents can’t wait to see what you come up with this week!

I am a wife, mother, daughter and sister…I am a faithful lover and loyal friend… I am a defender of what is mine… I am a control freak … I may forgive but I rarely forget… I believe in the power of saying “sorry” although I hate being the one to say it… I am a planner and like to live by a schedule… I am hard working and believe that nothing comes for free… I am moody and sarcastic and sometimes bossy… Over the years I have learned to laugh more often and I love it… I’m a little hard to get to know at first… I am punctual and tardiness is an irritant… I am honest… I am trustworthy….I am domesticated… I am a clean freak… I prefer to pick my battles but I will always stand beside you in battle… I don’t mind doing things independently but prefer the company of my friends and family… I am impatient…That’s ME!

Cheryl is such a sweetheart! My day is always brighter when I see that she has left me a little note. And, shall we talk about what a talent she has? Brilliant my dear!

Now… on to Friday Flair!! Come show us what’ca got!!

Kim @ Today’s Creative Blog

• I am the daughter to a mother who would say I’m bossy and direct just like my dad.
• I am the sister who will knock you down if you speak ill of my sister.
• I am the wife to a man who loves the the fact that I grew up swimming in a ditch and thought manure was pronounced Banure.
• I am the mother to a boy who thinks I really am a queen…….the Safety Queen.
• I am the Dog Mom to Maybelline the Labradoodle that thinks I’m perfect.
• I am inspired by happy people.  You can trust happy people with your heart.

I think Kim is the Queen… the Queen of Today’s Creative Blog.  The other day was the BEST DAY OF MY LIFE when Kim featured WhipperBerry on TCB.  She has been so instrumental with helping to build and support so many people in the creative blog genre.  I hope you’ve enjoyed getting to know her a little better, she’s aaaaamazing!!

Thanks Kim for sharing your talents with us all!!

Shelley has been such an inspiration to me on SO many levels.  When I first walked into Creative Estates a few weeks ago she was the first person I saw and I have to say… I was a little star struck.  We have since chatted a few times and she is as lovely in person as she is on her amazing blog The House of Smiths.  We share a love for ellipses… and darn it, we’re proud of it!!
