«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 321 of 321I am relatively new to quilting. I have tried jut about every craft out there and love to work with my hands. I am always fixing things at work and have earned the name McGuyver.
Hm, something quirky or funny. I love cats and have voices for each of them. When I talk to them, I also answer back for them. It keeps my family laughing. I don't know why, because the cats and I are just talking.
Today, me and my husband were discussing the first time we met, and we each had a totally different story at a totally different time! We met each time, but the one I remember the most is completely different that his! I guess its the man vs woman thinking thing?
Thanks for the giveaway! Quirky, well lets see. What quirks-that is probably my quirk thinking I have none! Maybe we should ask my husband that question!
Hi not sure if you will send to overseas but will tell you my funny story anyway. I run a gite (a little cottage for holiday accommodation)here in France. Its a two person cottage with a double bed. A couple made a booking with us and about a month before they were due to stay they sent an email saying they wanted their friend to come with them and was that okay, they knew it was only for two people and that there was only a double bed....but that was okay with them they would share!!!!!!!!!!! NO!!! it wasn't okay with me, crikey what sort of place do they think I run!! Have loads more stories to tell...think I will have to write a book. Thanks for the giveaway.
I think this is pretty quirky, every child in my family has the same middle name! There are five of us. Thank you for the great give away.
*lol* What a great way to do a giveaway! I'm having so much fun reading everyone confessions! =)
My confession then...
I cry every time I watch the episode of [H]ouse when Amber dies even through I really hate her character and I've seen it like a ton of times... I also cry when Bambis mother dies, still.
Excellent prize! I love patterns. OK, something quirky... I have 4 rabbits and when I have an argument with my husband, or he annoys me, I go outside and stand in the garden telling my bunnies how mean he is!! I bet my neighbours think I'm crazy!
I need to read for a while before I can close the light and go to sleep. I have a great reading light and piles of reading material on the nightstand (and sometimes spilling onto the floor too!)
Wow--something secret or quirky? I'm a pastor's wife, so have to be selective, don't you know? Let's see--oh, I'm also an actress (well, okay, maybe that's quirky enough) and I always have a certain small stuffed brown bear backstage before I go on. Like, panic-attack-don't-leave-the-house-without-him-or-turn-around-and-go-back-or-ransack-the-place...Yeah, for reals.
Three years ago while my husband and I were at language school. I mixed up the words for funny and undressing. One afternoon, I was trying to tell my teacher I thought she was funny and by accident, I told her she was undressing herself!
Needless to say, I now remember very well the difference between those words.
I have 4 pet chickens in my garage. All named Clucky. grostedt@lek.net
what fun.....mmmh! confessions time?? Something quirky, you say?
I met my husband on a blind date when a mutual friend of his gave him my telephone number and he wanted to come over right then and go for a drive to the mtns. I locked the screen door before I answered the door, (just in case..lol) and we talked through the screen. I asked him which car was his, and he pointed to the white chevy impala convertible...and I opened the screen door..and told him to come in...let's go. I like to take chances.

I said that I was 37 the whole year,before I realised that I had only been 36 ?! At least I wasn`t doing it the other way.
Something about me? Well I am "Mary Poppins" Not literally, but I am an English Nanny and have now been living (legally I might add!)in Canada 19 years. (and yes,I still think it's too cold here in the winter). In the UK if we get 2 inches of snow, everyone panics!
And....I never quilted a stitch till I came to Canada! Eh?
Hmmm...I can only eat fruit if it is cold and cut up. I will not bite out of an apple, pear, plum, etc.

My quirk - I did life backwards -"empty nest" first, filled with hobbies, obsessions, and stashes, then had kids at 40... I love it, but don't know that I'd recommend it!
Thank you for the generous giveaway and for sharing all the quited eye candy with us.
I was the one who proposed to my hubby. He was taking his sweet old time, so I said to myself enough already, and did it! :D
I love rap music! There I said it, a weight has been lifted!
Thanks for the chance to win!
I married my high school sweet heart and we have been married 32 years.
Thanks for your giveaway.
I love your giveaway. So generous of you. OK now on to the quirky - even though I know I shut off the stove, or water, or lights, locked the door, etc., I always have to go back in the house and recheck things before I leave.
lsandes@comcast.net
I absolutely love November - the gray overcast days and the bare trees and dried out leaves. I read somewhere it was the least favorite month, but it reminds me of the coming winter, cooking, and more time to quilt!
I love your giveaway..very generous...something quirky??...I met my husband at Parents Without Partners....and I asked him to dance...he will never let me live it down..LOL..and we are happily married for 19 years....
I spend WAY too much time looking at all the wonderful crafty ideas on blogs and not enough time actually doing them!
sntbosch@msn.com
What a generous gift for the giveaway! Thanks so much!
Something quirky? I wish I could say something amazing, like I have 12 toes or see dead people, but unfortunately, I'm not too extraordinary. I love quilting, so much so that I have an online business and am working toward becoming a certified quilt judge. I love genealogy, and have been scanning in pictures, researching family lines and plan to "publish" a family history book once I'm finished digging. I love photography and have a Nikon digital camera that I take almost everywhere - I have so many pictures that I had to get an external hard drive for my computer. I'm the baby of the baby on my Dad's side and come from a family of three girls. My husband comes from a family of three boys - we started dating when I was thirteen and have been married for over fifteen years with two lovely children. See, nothing terribly quirky there . . . :)
Well, I haven't a clue what a Schnibble is but those quilts were beautiful! Something quirky about me...I met my husband online!
wild_blue_farm@yahoo.com
My funny story is when I was eight, I went skiing with my Dad. Before I left, my Mom said "Break a leg!"... being an obedient child... I did :)

Love your take on the giveaway!! Quirky - I would not go near microwaves when I was pregnant with my first child, I was maniacal about avoiding the possible "leakage". Three children later, I still have a hard time being in the room when one is running. Susan(at)mathisons(dot)org
A true confession...hmm...something my husband doesn't even know...I buy a LOT of fabric and sneak it into the house. Isn't that part of the definition for a quilter? :0)
I loved your site. What beautiful prizes. The funny thing about me is I am a Grandma of 16 and GreatGrandma of 4 The 4 are all boys!
Nice giveaway! I am homeschooling my 14 year old daughter and I am the one who is learning so much!
Love seeing all the Schnibbles! Great giveaway too! I can run a backhoe and a forklift, but maybe that's not unusual enough!? LOL
some years ago I got a goat as new husband during my sisters wedding
you know, it's tradition overhere, when one of the younger sisters or brother gets married the ollder one has to marry a goat and walk it through the city that day
what shall I say, it wasn't too amusing for me
great give-away, thanks
What a delicious post to read and drool over, Between the quilts and giveaway, all I can say is WOW! Something quirky about me, as a child I collected little paper gift bags. I loved litte tiny ones, but collected colorful ones as well. When I left home I had had a whole stack saved under my mattress, that I finally let go. I still love a pretty paper gift bags and tiny ones, but no longer save them under my mattress. You said you wanted quirky, there it is. Thanks for the giveaway.
What fabulous and beautiful gifts! I'm a shepherd and farmer; last week pressed apples for cider and took photos of the bears the hunters shot for food.
I found a baby mole in the basement laundry room the other day and almost had a heart attack!!!!
Thanks for the chance to win!
Something funny about me?!?!?!
I am usually asleep at night BEFORE 9pm......I don't know why, but I can't seem to make it past 9! AND, I won't answer my phone after 8:30 :) :) :)
In between leaving a career I had worked 10 years to get into and then didn't like...and going back into a full time job as an RN...I co-managed a rubber stamp store and worked all three jobs for about 6 months. You should have seen all the rubber stamps I hauled home...spent most of my paycheck at the store! Thanks for the chance to win cool patterns and fabric :-)
Something quirky? I still talk to my teddy bear when we are alone at home.Thanks for the giveaway.
My, what pretty quilts....and a fun giveaway too! Embarrassing - even after seeing all those quilts, I don't know what a Schnibbles is. Quirky (also embarrassing) thing about me - I can't see well. I mean, I really cannot see well, and have been this way all my life. When we were camping in Canada, one year, we drove into the campground, right by the bathhouse. I *thought* I saw the Women sign. I slung my camera around my neck & set out to see the place, but stopped in the bathhouse along the way. The little boy looked up from doing his business and asked, "hey pop, why's there a girl in here & what's she gonna take pictures of?"
Yup, sad but true. But, I'm still camping to this day, as DH & I live in a 40' 5th wheel, taken over by sewing stuff & doggie toys. He's truly a dear.
Great giveaway, and loved the parade! Something quirky--my husband and I have the same birthday. Thanks for the chance to win.

Quirky? Funny?
I think I am too boring for either!
Quirky may be my bent for math. I tend to see things mathematically. Some think that is funny.
Great post. Delightful giveaway.
Funny story? I made a quilt to give to a boyfriend, who had just purchased a house. But we had broken up by the time I finished the quilt. I still gave him the quilt, as we remained good friends. Years later I learned that I had left a few pins in the quilt...he evidently rolled over on them with a new girlfriend and he thought I left them there intentionally. It truly was an accident!

I like to get my news from TMZ...is that wrong?
Quirky...I love to sit up and sew/paint/quilt into the early hours while everyone else in the house is asleep and I can't be disturbed. I love your giveaway and your blog!
I totally love my boy, i love kissing him and i have been known to just wake up in the middle of the night and head over to kiss his cute chubby face.
I'm very romantic by nature, and when growing up, I loved the long dresses in Gone With The Wind and earlier times. Well, I got to pinning my hula hoop on the bottom of a long, full skirt of my mother's so I could be a southern belle, I guess. My friend and I both did it. We had fun, but some other kids laughed at us so we stopped. I still love long, beautiful dresses.
Look at all of those amazing quilts!!!! I keep seeing this word "Schnibbles" and must Google it now for sure! I am astounded by all that beautiful art your group created in just twelve months! As a new quilter, I am totally encouraged by your post! Thank you!
My true confession: I throw a wet washcloth into the dryer to "iron" my husbands shirts. Shhhh... don't tell!
canadiankristin@gmail.com
A quirky trait...hmmmm.... well I think my sweet husband would say it has to be the fact that I am constantly asking rhetorical questions and then looking at him for comment... he says he never knows how to respond because a) he has never even thought about the question at hand or b) (more likely) there is no answer
Funny, I thought I was the only one afraid of mice. REALLY afraid! Cling to the ceiling afraid. I'm not afraid of anything else, just mice, well, rats too. Sewgrateful
What beautiful quilts!!
Something about me....as a child I was always afraid of the dark. Even now I like a night light. LOL!
Thank you for this giveaway!
I loved reading all the answers. I don't know that I have a quirky thing to reveal. A funny story- my middle daughter backed her chair into my toe before school one morning and broke it. I still had to drop her off at school and did so with my little toe sticking out at a 90 degree angle. Then I went to have it fixed. It wasn't so funny at the time.
Love your giveaway. I have been wanting some wool. One thing about me--I like change. Right now I would love to quit my job and sew and quilt all day. But after a year, I would be tired and ready for something else.
quirky factoid about me: I was a medal-winning varsity fencer. :)
Those are all great quilts...
Something about me... I am trying to free motion quilt, but gave up and used my walking foot intesd
What a beautiful quilt show you just put on. Thank you> Something quirky about me - I love reading crime thrillers and science fiction books!
Something quirky about me? Well a recent funny story would involve me transcribing a pumpkin bread recipe by hand from my computer and proceeding to bake said bread in the completely wrong sized loaf pans, only to find the bread half-baked when I took it out of the oven. 30 more minutes in the oven didn't help either. Eek! Next time? I'll just print the darn recipe. Great giveaway!
Confession...I am on the computer way too much, visiting blogs and playing games. it's a wonder I get anything done.
forgot my email kdiaz0546@adelphia.net
What a wonderful prize...and I've enjoyed seeing the quilts! I guess the quirkiest thing about me right now....I've sewed for YEARS but I've never made a quilt! It's on my list of things I want to do this Fall! Wish me luck! I'm going to save your blog for inspiration! ♥
I once had a goat that would follow me to school. Just imagine variations of Mary Had a Little Lamb being sung by my classmates and teachers. LOL
Thanks for putting together the parade of Schibbles. I really enjoyed it.
I guess the first thing I can think of a bit quirky about me is I don't pump gas in my car.I am sure there will come a time I will need to do it. I will have to ask for help and I sure hope I have a pair of gloves with me.
Love the giveaway. I currently have a box turtle living in our spare bedroom. I plan to actually put him in some sort of container before it gets too cold and he decides he wants to dig down.
Hmmm...something quirky about me? Just one? I got a tractor for Mother's Day and it's all MINE!
Wow what a prices you are give away. Just beautiful !!
Funny story... I was with my DH in a quiltstore and I took a quilttop from my bag. We wanted to buy some backing fabric for this quilt. The lady at the store said (looking at my DH)... what a beautiful quilt, to bad men can't do something like this. My DH said ... why not, I'm the one who made this quilt.
The lady didn't anything to say to that LOL
Yes my DH is quilting also and we have alot of fun together !!
Loved the Schnibbles show. I just found out today what Schnibbles were. I have gotten back into quilting a long break away and I had never heard of this term before. I had to google it :-)
What fun to see all those Schnibbles! I took two workshops from Carrie Nelson 10 days ago - what FUN!! I had over 85 UFOs - but just this week I got it down to 80! YES!

You want me to confess something quirky about myself? On the internet? Sure!
I don't like spoons. They feel funny in my mouth. Only things I can use them for is ice cream and soups. Conversely, my parents use spoons for everything and forks only for spagetti. Figures!
Love your give away. Thanks for the chance to win.
I think getting up at 4:30 or 5:00 in the morning for "me" time sounds a little quirky, however I do enjoy this time of day.
Thanks.
Linda
Confession gee!I've got plenty I suppose the one that comes to mind is trying to get to the post box everyday before DH so that he doesn't see the parcels of fabric arriving and it's probably a good thing it doesn't look under our bed too often otherwise he might find the box's full of fabric that I've hidden,and they say confession is good for the soul so is retail fabric therapy!lol
Love your giveaway. Thanks for the chance to win.
A little quirky thing I do is I will not park between 2 vans in a parking lot, nor will I walk between 2 vans. Instead I'll park farther away if I have to, and I'll walk out of my way to find cars to walk between. I always laugh at myself when doing this, but still do it anyway.
What beautiful work you do. Hmmmm quirky? I have habit of checking the door locks twice at night. Can't sleep otherwise.
Love this giveaway!
I am terrified of those cans that Pillsbury biscuits come in. Every time i open one I jump even though I know the 'pop' is coming. Lately I have been making my 4-year-old open them. Before that I would peel the paper and if it didnt pop open right away I would throw it in the sink until it popped open.
Thanks,
MJ

Quirky? Hmmm, well I am so into the whole fall giveaway that I am still up at 2am... No okay that isn't really quirky...just obsessive.
My husby and I just recently had a mini staycation in Rochester, NY where we literally ate our way down Park Ave. It was totally crazy fun. We tried Lebanese, bakery yummies, and chocolates galore. It was splendiferous, especially cuz we couldn't possibly eat all we wanted to so we brought a bunch home with us to enjoy for quite some time!
what a lovely giveaway!
something quirky- when I put the washing out I like to pair the socks on the line to dry. Boy that just sounds ocd not quirky lol.
Great giveaway! Thanks for offering. Hmmm..something quirky? I always sleep with my feet outside of the sheet or blanket...everything else could be covered, but my feet need to breathe. =)
Hi Sinta!
Something unusual...
I am Canadian
I am a nurse practitioner, like a physician, but only about 93% what physicians do in a clinic setting
I am a supporter on a Dragon Boat team. It is a sport started in Canada to get women exercising after breast cancer surgery. It is based on an ancient Chinese sport where men from Chinese villages would compete and the aim was to capsize the other boat!
We just race in Dragon Boat Festivals! great cardio exercise, great sistership too!
Nice giveaway package!
take care, Leslie
Hmmm...something about me. I'm in plaster for the third time in 16 months after yet another wrist surgery. Makes for interesting quilting *lol*
Your quilts are beautiful - loved the schnibbles show. Here's a little known fact (outside my family)
about me - I'm soon to be 55 and am studying for an RN degree.

Your giveaway looks awesome!
One quirky thing - I LOVE watching sports! Live, on TV, whatever. When my girls were young and in Little League we had six games a week between the three of them. I was in my glory!
Your Schnibble Parade was great.
Here is my quirky way: I NEVER and never is a strong word, take the first can, egg carton, cream cheese, off the shelf in the grocery store. No matter what it is, I take at least the second. If it's in the refridgerated section, I take the one that have refridgeration on at least 3 sides. Yeah, you should see the grocery store stockers look at me funny. nsue21702 at gmail dot com
I am basically a lazy person. I can quilt, sew, create, craft with dirt,cat hair, clothes in washer, dishes in sink, porch a mess, and etc. I am very passionate about my sewing room and all of its clutter.
fabricartist2005@yahoo.com
I don't watch tv much. The schnibbles show was awesome. Thank you for the giveaway.
What a gonderful wive-away... oops!
What a wonderful give-away.
And that is not a lack of pies!
...pack of lies!
You see, when I am tired, my words get mixed up. I found out years ago it is called "spoonerisms." (so named after Willaim Archibald Spooner). My sister is the same way. She and I can have a conversation, mixed up words and all, and never miss a beat or the meaning. I try to avoid public speaking when tired for obvious reasons.
Loved seeing all the quilts. What fun! Something quirky about me would be that after I received all the blocks from block of the month clubs I join, I disassemble them, and add the fabric to my stash.
Fabulous giveaway. I have no secrets which in and of itself is a quirk I believe. Seriously, my life is an open book - the good, the bad, and all the in between.
Thanks for the chance to win!

Something just a bit quirky: I like to add jam and Dijon mustard to my grilled cheese sandwiches.

Wow, great giveaway and the most entertaining comments I have ever read! Lol I've been chuckling for the last half hour. My quirky things are that I am in love with Gone with the Wind and my craft room is pasted with posters, pictures, etc. (not to mention all the other collectible stuff around the house) and I also collect anything American Buffalo. They are my favorite animal. :)
Thanks again!

Okay, funny story, Hmmm. Two years ago I went to a wedding were my son(being very well behaved and a favorite of the bride) was invited. They used goldfish in the centerpieces at the tables and asked me if my son would like the survivors. Sure I said, and after the wedding was given a 5 gallon paint bucket with 50, that is right, fifty goldfish! I had them in rubbermaid tubs all over the house. I gave them away to every friend I could convince to take at least one and still had over 25 left. Today, Larry, Moe, and Curly live blissfully in my quilt room. Does anyone know how long goldfish live anyway?
I can't think of anything quirky about me (you probably should ask my husband & family), but today I am having trouble sitting & walking after spending the afternoon at a pumpkin patch with my daughter's family. I always think the zip line looks like fun & I thought that if I didn't do it this year I never would. I just turned 60 this summer. So, I told my daughter that if she would do it that I would. She went first & then I went. When I first jumped off it felt like my arms were being ripped off. The landing is kind of hard too because you run into a ramp to land. I have bruises all over the tops of my legs fromt the staps on the harness. My tailbone hurts the worst though from going down a big slide that is built on a hill of dirt. I hit one hard bump & flew onto another one & really bruised my tailbone. My husband asked me how I felt this morning & I told him just fine because it's all my own fault. I guess I don't want to be old yet. My 8 year old grandson kept saying "this is just hilarious" when I was waiting to go on the zip line. My daughter took pictures & emailed them to all of my family.
Thank you for this great giveaway and that awesome quiltshow.

Oh my - what beautiful inspiration scrolling down looking at all these beautiful creations!! I will be back to visit :) If I only I had the time to make all those quilts myself, but for now I'll have to content myself with looking...
Beautiful giveaway - thank you :)
My quirk... I am a terrible dancer but behind closed doors, dance like crazy! Luckily, my husband understands and, although he is a bad dancer too, we dance together at home all the time. Odd, but fun :)
I grew up in the least populous county in North Dakota (county seat has pop of 29)... and North Dakota itself is one of least populous states.
BTW: I'm finishing my ironing board cover do you need the photo by Thursday or will you have a link up Friday?
I loved seeing all the quilts! I always say I never lose anything but my camera was missing for so long but I had looked everywhere for it so I bought a new one. Then one day I was looking in a pockets in my purse and found my old camera! (The new one is actually a better camera so I guess it ended okay.)
Oh what a great give a way. please enter me. Thanks Sandy

Love all the Schibbles.Something quirky I like to sing to my dogs.
When I was a senior in college, I spent a semester in Guadalajara, Mexico, and was infatuated with a guy I met there, Enrique, who zipped me around the city on his motorcycle. When I came back to the US, I went in search of a motorcycle just like his. My plan was to graduate college, drive across country (from Maine to San Francisco) to enroll in a Teach English as a Second Language certification program, then drive down to Mexico on my motorcycle and re-live those glorious days of youthful exuberance. I got as far as California on my new motorcycle, but I had met a guy right before graduation that I realized I was in love with, so I turned around and moved back to New Jersey. 17 years later, we are still together. And for many years, that motorcycle was my only transportation. When I turned 30, I celebrated by buying myself a newer, bigger motorcycle, but shortly thereafter I became pregnant with my first child and by the time the second one rolled around, I had given up the motorcycle for something with a roof and 4 wheels. I wouldn't change a thing, but now that I am traveling for work in Latin America, I must admit that seeing all the motorcycles zipping around, it stirs a youthful passion that has lain dormant for years now. I kinda want to pick up a guy at a club, hop on the back of his bike, and drive off into the warm, exotic night... Of course, I won't, but there's my true confession.
I am entering for my daughter Mel, her computer is down and she called and asked if once again I would enter her in contests, I couldn’t say no as she helps my wife and her mother with their charity quilting projects. I try to support them any way that I can.
thank you for putting our name in your drawing. Florida area

what a GorGeouS parade you've presented! THANK YOU !
and for this lovely giveaway :))
something quirky?
i like vanilla icecream in earl grey tea :) that's me :)
I am obsessed with animals. I had a pet skunk when I was in junior high. She was named Aroma and was such a sweetheart! She did not live very long but she was and always will be one of my favorite pets. If that isnt strange/quirky, I don't know what is!: )
What a beautiful giveaway. Well something quirky about me, hmm well I love olives and have been known to eat a whole jar by myself, lol

The quilts are incredible. My quirkiness - I have favourite times of the day and I always look at the clock when the time comes around.
My ex-husband used to give me a new frying pan every year for Christmas. Thanks for a chance to win.
A great Schnibbles parade. Thank you. I don't know if it's quirky but I have a tendency to transpose numbers. Not letters, just numbers. Also, my mind and mouth don't always work together. Especially with left and right. When driving with my hubby I have to indicate with my hand which way to turn. I will say left and indicate right. So he will say "you mean your other left." I also have to think which way is east and which is west.
hmm something about me. I helped make a parade float once.

Hmm a quirky thing about me...and my dog, every morning when I get up he rubs and rolls all over my pillow, and I let him! I think he is putting my smell on himself. And I STILL don't know what Schnibbles are!!!
Happy quilting!
I've enjoyed reading some of the quirks on this blog. Too funny!! Here's an embarassing moment for me.. I like to use sign language when I sing or just sign a song.. One day I had my headphones on at work and was really "into" the music, eyes closed and signing up a storm. A coworker walks into my office and says "WHAT are you doing?!!"
Something quirky? I like cats better than kittens and puppies better than dogs! Other than that, I'm as odd as the next person! Thanks for the opportunity for your giveaway.
Thank you for having this giveaway.
I got in the car to go to the store. About 2 miles away I noticed I couldn't find my cell phone. Checked my bag. Checked my coat pockets. Turned around and went home. Used the house phone to call the cell phone. It rings in my shirt pocket that I'm wearing. Under my nose the whole time. Wow.

Thanks for the nice giveaway.
Ok, I'll confess. . . I just went through a stage where I could not eat enough raw mushrooms. . . I must have been lacking some nutrient or something ! Anyway, it was hard on my grocery bill, and I am now over it. . . they are OK now, but I can take 'em or leave 'em ! Beth
I'll be celebrating my 25th wedding anniversary in Jan.

confession, huh??? Well, I DO hide fabric...lol...my husband just doesn't understand!!
What a beautiful parade of quilts. I met my DH on a double date and don't remember it. He always tells the story of how we met, and I don't remember it. Yikes!!
Maybe I shouldn't admit this in print. Hmmmm....ok...the prizes are worth it. My name is Regina and I'm a new junkie. I have the news on tv almost every moment I'm awake. It does not make for a good dispostion, but I can't stand not knowing what's going on in the world. Thanks for including me in your giveaway!
hmm quirky. I asked for new screens for my birthday. My husband got me a Snuggie instead. :) quirky enough? LOL xoxo melzie
i'm correcting my previous no reply status, so hoping this now works for everyone! thx :)
tho' a comment to my blog does get emailed to me ~
Mmm, something quirky ... I met my husband because of my nearsightedness. I waved at him across the room thinking he was someone else, so he came over and we met each other.
Oh I LOVE your giveaway!! Ok something about me...ummm well I can wiggle my ears...I don't know how or when it started but I realized that not many people can do this. Now your reading this and your going to try and wiggly your ears! LOL My kids get a big kick out of it! Well that something corky about me...thanks for the chance to win your giveaway!
