Gretchen  tagged me with this Honest Scrap post. The idea is to reveal 10 honest things about yourself that you haven't blogged about and list 5 addictions. Then tag 5 friends. I was tagged a couple of months ago with something similar so it's been a brain strain trying to come up with something new that you may not know about me that I'm willing to share :)

5 Addictions I'm willing to admit. :)

1. Coffee

2. E-mail/internet/blogging

3. Fabric acquisition

4. Ice cream

5. Reading 

10 Things You May Not Know About Me

1. I have great handwriting. My Dad made me practice for 6 weeks after I earned a poor grade in handwriting.

2. I attended 12 years of school in the same school building. It was a Catholic school, grades 1 through12. There were 68 people in my high school graduating class.

3. I love to bake especially cookies and loaf breads.

4. I love to take walks through my neighborhood and parks. Being outdoors and walking helps center me.

5. I don't watch mainstream TV. The boys in my life control the remote. I abdicated with a book and sewing machine. Lots of Food Network shows at my house.

6. At 30, I figured I was never going to get married. Gave up to enjoy the single life. Met my husband two weeks later. Have been happily married for 21 years.

7. I played the violin for 5 years in grade school. 

8. I love stationary, note cards and almost anything at an office supply store.

9. I collected Cabbage Patch Dolls for me and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle things for my son when he was little. We both still have a soft spot for TMNT.

10. I had pen pals when I was growing up. I remember one in Missouri, one in Canada and even one in Russia. I did meet one of them. She came on a Greyhound bus from Illinois while we were in college.

Ok. I tag Melisa, Lori, Pat, , Casey, Amanda
