Ooo! I just found out that I have recently been tagged from over at The Etsian blog. The rules for being tagged are that you must list ten random (and hopefully intriguing) facts about yourself and then tag ten other people to join in on the fun. Hmm, this could be fun!
Here goes nothing...
{ 1 } The first conversation that my husband and I had was about what kind of toothpaste we both use.
{ 2 } Jonathan and I got married the day after I turned 18. (a year ago last week, woo!)
{ 3 } My mom was recently diagnosed with breast cancer and she never ceases to amaze me.
{ 4 } I could live on chicken strips and Dr. Pepper.
{ 5 } My favorite holiday is Easter.
{ 6 } I love being out in the sunshine, especially when I am camping, geocaching, or jet skiing.
{ 7 } My sister has recently gotten me addicted to two soap operas. My favorite: One Life to Live.
{ 8 } Every year for Christmas, my family has a tradition that we each make something for one another. The best ones that I made last year were an illustrated ATV calendar for my dad and an embroidered stocking for my husband. I love this tradition.
{ 9 } My car's name is Dorthy and my husband's car's name is Steve.
{ 10 } I am in love with Adobe Illustrator and my Wacom Tablet.
Now is where I am supposed to tag other people... but instead, why don't you guys leave a comment with some fun and amazing facts about your life! I would love to hear them :)

Bats, Pumpkins, and Packing Tape
Wow has this summer been fun!
Today I made these cute sale banners for my mom's shop. She is having an awesome sale on her Halloween embroidery designs. If you are into machine embroidery, you should definitely check it out by clicking Here!
Another exciting thing going on this month is that me and my husband are moving! Woo! We can not wait- seriously. You have no idea :)
Here is part of a graphic that I made to let all the family know of our new address:
We start moving in on June 20th (which is Father's Day weekend)! Then the next weekend is my birthday (Friday) and our 1 year anniversary is on Saturday! I will try to keep posting as often as possible, but if I start posting less and less this month, you will know why!
Ooo that reminds me! I'll have to post pictures of the awesome Father's Day gifts that we found for my dad off of etsy last night! They are pretty awesome!
