I've been tagged, plus more day for this week's drawing

I've been tagged by sweet Kirsten Smith...I've never been tagged before, this is a new one. 

This is me in in Kindergarten...I love this photo.  Seven things about me, where to begin?

1. I, like Lizzy am left handed, and dyslexic - I've done quite a bit of studying on the subject, and I believe that it has greatly influenced our lives.
2. I am a single parent, it has been the hardest, most wonderful "calling" in the world. My four amazing children are my best friends, the only sad part about them growing up, is that they are grown up. I miss them with all of my heart.
3. I used to be a florist - how I love flowers! I had my very own little flower garden when I was about 13. Flowers/fabric/color - they all vie for favorites in my book.
4. I love, love, love England. Like Kirsten I spent some time there, and I loved it so much!
5. If I had buckets of money I would live in Fairhope, Alabama...it such a beautiful place. Does anyone realize what great food they have in Alabama? Oyster Shack anyone?
6. If I had endless buckets of money I'd live 1/2 of the year in Savannah, Georgia, and the other 1/2 in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
7. I love to travel - I work for Continental Airlines, and this has been a huge blessing to my family and myself. The girls have been able to see places that they may have never had the opportunity to visit. Melissa is getting ready to go to France, and the UK...lucky duck!

On to the folks I'm tagging...

Lissa Jane, my newest favorite blogger; Joni - love her blog, Jacquie - great blog too,  Tina - new friend/new blogger; and Kristen - I found here through my book drawing, and I'm loving her quilts.  The rest of the folks I wanted to tag, are temporarily not blogging, or request to not be tagged. 

Remember - there is just a little over 24 hours to participate in our 2 BOOK A WEEK DRAWING!!!  We've had lots of great, thoughtful entries.  The drawing will be tomorrow night, and I'll also announce next week's books - next week is special - something for the art quilt crowd!  Leave a comment here, whether you are pro/con quilt borders.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend!

Such a cute photo! It’s wonderful to learn more about you and your life and about you being a florist. I think you are still a florist. I’m not surprised! You have loads of talents!

I have to agree that Alabama has great food (of course, I'm a bit prejudiced since I was born there!). And I also love Savannah and Jackson Hole; living in each place 1/2 of the year would be wonderful. After visiting Wyoming several years ago I always said I wanted to go back and spend a lot more time.

As for borders on a quilt. I tend to go more with no borders. Like Kathie, I love those old, utilitarian quilts without borders, much like ones my grandmother made. But, if a quilt "calls for" a border or if I need it be a larger I will add borders.

What a cute, cute picture! Great to learn a little more about you -- and you work for the airlines? Wow -- how exciting! I'd be in hog heaven if I had frequent airline tickets available -- well, that or the poorhouse! I LURVE to travel! And Fairhope huh? I can't remember where that is -- I went to High School in Huntsville. My only complaint was lack of snow LOL!

Fairhope is on the eastern shore of Mobile Bay...it's just so beautiful!
