Quirky

I got tagged by Kayla, so here it is! This tag is to list 6 of your quirks... so here goes,
I probably have way more than 6 but I'll spare you:)

#1 I REALLY, REALLY,REALLY love cute fabric!!
I didn't always have this obsession, it came on slowly through college, and then since I have gotten married. But wow, It is like scrapbooking with fabric for me, and there are soooooo many darling fabrics. I just have to get a little of everything that is so cute and make something out of it! Luckily, i can make a lot of gifts from it for Birthdays, Baby Showers, Weddings, Christmas, Etc, so it evens out with the money I would spend on those! So pretty much everyone gets home made things from me lately. But that's ok. Hopefully they all love it, because I love making it! I just makes me happy to make something super cute.

#2 I am obsessed with having to shred all things remotely able to give any personal information. (Ask Noah) This was a quirk kind of before, but even worse after I worked at a Credit Union. So anyway, it stresses me out to just throw something away, even if most people would. Like basic reciepts that only have the last four digits of your card. But I shred all of these too. The only problem is that I hate to shred things. So they sit in a giant pile until I have a massive undertaking to get it all done! And my wallet gets full of tons of receipts until I transfer them into the shred pile. Those mostly are the ones I should probably just toss, yet I can't. We'll see. I just need to shred at the end of every day for 1 minute and then I would be golden. One day....

#3 I go through phases of being really really confident, to not confident at all. Not sure why. Been that way my whole life. Who knows how long these phases last, but I definitely notice them.

#4 When buying my children's pictures from the studio, I am a very large sucker. All of my other friends can get in and out with just the right number of photos! I don't have that ability. I always get tons. I can't resist!!

#5 Although I like strawberries, blueberries,cinammon, etc. all the things that come in a variety of bagel flavors, both the bagel and the cream cheese, when it comes to actually eating the bagel itself I only really enjoy a PLAIN Bagel with PLAIN cream cheese. Not sure why my like of all these other items won't translate into my bagel enjoyment. I've tried, but to no avail.

#6 I ABSOLUTELY love my grandmother's recipe for homemade caramels. I don't make them very often because you have to stir them forever, but they are perhaps my favorite thing in the entire world. They obviously aren't that healthy for you, and everytime I make them I eat so many that I usually make myself a little bit sick. I have learned to stagger them a little bit longer, then I don't get quite so sick:) but either way, I JUST CAN NOT STOP EATING THEM until the pan is gone! it is absolutely ridiculous.

I agree about the bagel. There is nothing quite like a plain bagel with plain cream cheese. Especially if it is toasted.

I will gladly accept this blog tag. Loved learning those things about you!

We have some quirks in common, including the shreding stuff and piles of crap that need to be shredded. I also have the issue with quirky comment #3. Why is that so? Your little guys are cute, as always and are growing up so fast!!!
