I've been tagged

My blog was tagged by Annette, who is a fabulous cardmaker and lives pretty close to me, as it turns out. Her cards are so detailed, with lots of beautiful hand stitching and beading. Thanks Annette!

Now I'm supposed to share 7 random facts about myself... look out!

1. I have shaken John McCain's hand (upon receiving my master's. I think it cursed him, poor fella. See pic at bottom of this page)

2. Thai yellow curry is my favorite food. I just ate some. Now I must nap.

3. I kicked my sister's 2 front teeth out when she was a toddler. Twice. Oops.

4. I got choked on a piece of butterscotch candy in second grade, on the bus, and the busdriver whacked me on the back until it came out (she missed the heimlich maneuver demo). They put an article in the local paper about it. Slow week.

5. I collect sea shells. I've been shelling in NC, SC, FL, DE, the Bahamas, the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, and the North Sea (if you count picking up a few shells from a beach in Holland whilst trying not to make direct eye-boob contact with topless sunbathers).

6. I helped find ~13 new genes for Lupus last winter. Here's the article (it works similar to counting sheep. Zzzzzz).

7. I have only been stamping and cardmaking for < 1 year.

Now I'm supposed to tag 7 other people, but I think I will just mention a few, because I'm lazy and introverted. :)

Check out Bakerella! She is the inventor of the now famous cupcake pop. As you can see from previous posts, I've tried my hand at these and they're so fun. I hope to try a few "character" ones soon, like her turkey pops (look like turkeys, not turkey-flavored!)

The Cupcake Project started as an experiment to explore various flavors of cupcakes to be made for a wedding. I never could have imagined all the possibilities... they all sound pretty yummy and I can't wait to try some of these.

Look at all the pretty things FeltSewGood has made from felted recycled sweaters. I am inspired now to make Christmas ornaments from my purse scraps.

I just recently found Anne-Marie Faiola's blog where she shares her homemade soaps. Check out the sushi soap!

Have a lovely weekend...
