I've been tagged!

My friend Lindsey Bay tagged me...

5 Things I was doing 10 years ago:
* I was a Junior in High School (my fav. year in High School too Linsday!)
* Cheerleading for our not so good high school football team
* Falling down on a muddy field in front of a whole stadium full of fans during our Homecoming game half-time show. (that's a story I'll have to share later...it was HILARIOUS!)
* Clogging on a championship level team
* Being totally boy crazy!

5 things on my To-Do List today:
* Wash whites!
* Buy sandpaper
* Reach my goal of taking at least 10,000 steps (I've got a pedometer - Scott and I are doing this together)
* Take out the trash and sweep the kitchen floor
* Spend quality time and play with Kyle

5 things I would do if I were a millionaire:
* Save a bundle of it & make some trust funds for my child/future children
* Pay my house off
* Buy Scott a new car (so that he doesn't have to keep driving his little neon...it's not the most manly vehicle but he's a trooper!)
* Hire a maid service. At least somebody to come clean my bathrooms weekly!!
* Take a cruise on the Mediterranean

5 things I'll never wear again:
* Anything that shows my belly (not a pretty sight after pregnancy!)
* Pleather pants...yep! I had a pair in High School!
* Knit uni (I think that is what they were called. Do you remember them from the mid 80's? Those one piece knit outfits that you wear with layered waist bands. Those rocked!)
* Layered socks (why did I ever think it was cool to wear multiply layers of colored socks?)
* Anything florescent

5 favorite toys:
* Cricut Expressions die-cutting machine
* Computer
* Sewing Machine
* All my stamps
* Settlers game

A little something for myself!

I've been doing a LOT of sewing lately. Preparations for Christmas gifts has begun, a few birthday gifts here and there, and I'm also getting ready for 'craft fair season!' Anywho, none of it has been for me to keep. I decided to take some time out today and do something just for me!

I'm in Halloween mode. Not that I necessarily love the actual Halloween holiday itself, but I LOVE all the fun decorations. Halloween stuff is so cute and fun. I don't have a whole lot of it, so I made a little something. I drew up this pattern yesterday for a Bat table runner and it actually worked out how I planned! It was super fun and easy to sew, and I think it turned out great. (Not to toot my own horn or anything, but trying to live in Lynette's shadow is tough. *Sigh* Maybe one day I'll be as good of a seamstress as her!)
