Showing Off

There's a lot going on in my life lately, which some times leaves me a little brain dead when it comes to posting! But then you guys make it easy for me by giving me awards! How special is that? This one, the Premio Meme Award, comes from my dear friend Kayla over at The Eclectic Element.

Kayla was such a sweet heart - this is what she said about me: "Ruthie over at Rose Works Jewelry-Ruthie is one amazing person and I think we connected because we have a similar plight. Just like most of the other 'challenged' people I know(I used challenged because it seems so much better then 'sick'), she overcomes her problems and works past them =]"

Now I'm supposed to share 7 facts about myself and pass this on to 7 people so...

1. I have Crafty AdHD - I can't stick to just one thing!

2. I used to be a swing dancer, and I really miss it!

3. I own over 300 books.

4. I was born a full month after my due date - and Mom says I've been stubborn ever since!

5. Purple is my FAVORITE color! In case you hadn't guessed...

6. I'm only 26...but I've lost half an inch in height - crazy huh?

7. My life time goal is to grow up to be one of those eccentric old ladies that everybody loves!

Now for my 7 people...

1. Splendid Little Stars - because even through life's tough times she smiles and encourages others!

2. Beaded Tail - Because she simply rocks my world!

3. Memories for Life - I bet we'd hang out all the time if we leaved anywhere near each other :P

4. Nothing Like It - because her sense of humor is incredible!

5. My Art and the Mom in Me - Because she's so sweet.

6. Spirit Essence Art - I love the challenge she's set herself!

7. Little Studio Photography and Jewelry - because her comments always make me smile ;)

So what's been going on with me? Well, it's finally come to the time where we've decided I need to apply for disability. Let's just say it's a ton of paperwork and a very emotional process.

I'm also hard at work filling my Artfire shop! I just listed these earrings tonight :)

And just so this post isn't ALL about me - don't you just love this piece by my friend Huck? Her name is Bitty.
