Stylish Blogger Award :)


I've been tagged!!! (this not-so-secretly makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside!)
Thanks Ashelle, you made my week :)
So here's the scoop:
  • Thank and link back to the person who originally gave you this award.
  • Share 7 things about yourself.
  • Pay the award forward to 10 great bloggers.
  • Contact those bloggers and let them know they have received the award.
  1. I'm currently working on my CMA (Certified Managerial Accountant designation). How did I decide what I wanted to study when I "grew up"? Simple. I chose the class I took in High School & University that I put the least effort into and got the best grades. And you know... I like money.
  2. My dream job is to be an event planner. I'm OCD when it comes to little details and making lists and I LOVE things like stationary, decorating, budgets, being creative, and of course, telling others what to do :)
  3. I come from a HUGE italian family, and while I hate to cook, I'm damn good at it. Thank you nonna!
  4. I am athletically challenged. Anything that involves too much coordination is a complete mystery to me. I've tried soccer, karate, dance, skating (ice & inline), snowboarding, rugby, and tennis... just to name a few, and have failed miserably at them all!
  5. I'm a nail biter. I quit doing it for a few years, but recently started again. My nails looked much prettier before :(
  6. I'm a notorious over packer. I will bring enough clothes for an entire month on a week-long vacation... and 10 pairs of shoes, and make up, and hair maintenance items, and skin care items... (I bring this up because I am being lectured by my mother as I type this about only bringing ONE suitcase. Is she nuts?!)
  7. I make lists for EVERYTHING! I even make lists about lists I need to make. No, that's not a bad joke.
And now to pass this on! If you've received it already, or simply don't like this kind of thing, I won't be offended, but here are a few bloggers that I've been drawn to recently and totally deserve it!

Red Lips & Bardot Hair
Peachy Keen
Sew I Thought...
Money Smart Fashion
Domestic Sophisticate
A Fashion Fixation
Stilettos & Diaper Bags
Feathers
Clearly Classic
Tinfoils Tiaras

  1. Aw, thank you so much! You're so sweet!I will re-post this with my 7 things tomorrow after class.

    I really enjoyed reading yours, mostly because I can relate to 4-7. (I'm trying to quit biting my nails as well. I stopped before the wedding, but then started again afterward.)

    Oh and I sent you an e-mail and one of your Swap and Shop items! ;)

  2. Thanks for the award, Melrose! I always appreciate your feedback on my posts. I'm with you on being bad at sports...I'm useless at everything except skiing. I learned fast because I'm short. Low center of gravity helps when a sport is about balance! Also, it's not a team sport, so I can take off and enjoy it alone as well as with friends.

  5. Awe :) You're welcome! I enjoyed reading all these wonderful tidbits about you. You would make a wonderful event planner. I think that over packing is never a bad thing. What's horrible is forgetting to pack things you need and having to buy them while away.

  8. We are so much alike....
    I would also love to be an events planner and sometimes I am in my job! Although I think if I were I would have buried a few brides.
    I make lists a lot, too many. However they keep me focused. I also use to bite my nails and I have ZERO coordination let me add to that I cannot sing either. Quite the package don't you think ?
