blog award

The super sweet Erin from C'est La Vie has passed on the Kreativ Blogger Award to Eight Six Eleven.  Thank you so much Erin for sharing the love!  Make sure you check out her awesome blog!

Now onto the rules for the award:

1. Link back to the person who gave you this award.

2. Complete the form.

3. Award 10 5 blogs and let them know in a comment or email.

4. Share 7 random thoughts about yourself.

The form:

1. Name your favorite song: This is a toughie but I will go with "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" by Lady Antebellum.  This was the song my husband and I danced to for our first dance at our wedding.  I love it!

2. Name your favorite dessert: Cupcakes, no doubt!  I love trying new flavors and frostings.  I love making them.  I love taking photos of them.  And I really love eating them!

3. What ticks you off:  Well my biggest pet peeve is people who do not use their turn signals when driving.  If people would use them like they are supposed to then I would be able to either a. save valuable time or b. not think I'm going to die as I slam on the breaks.  #irritating

4. When I'm upset I:  Walk away, cool off then usually apologize or at least talk the issue out.

5. What;s your favorite pet: Growing up my family always had a dog or two, always.  But this award has to go to my baby girl, Bella.  I have a bond with her that is like no other.  She really is one of my best friends, even if she is just a dog.  And she is so much fun to spoil.  Ahh I love her.

6. Black or White:  White.  So clean and sleek.  

7. Biggest Fear: Being in water that I cannot see the bottom of, the dark, surprises, bugs, driving in the snow/ice or anything creepy crawly.  I'm quite the fearful person.

7 random thoughts about me:

1. I'm a perfectionist when it comes to my creative side.  Whether it is photography, graphics, baking, crafting, it has to be perfect or I'm unsatisfied.

2.  I usually visit my parents two to three times a week.  I'm such a family girl.  We talk everyday.

3. I have one tattoo (so far).  It is a butterfly located on my lower right abdomen.  It has a very special meaning to me.

4.  I love the sound of rain and thunderstorms.  At night only.

5. I've vacationed at and/or been to the following beaches: Rehobeth Beach, DE; Assateague Island, VA; Virginia Beach, VA; Newport Beach, CA; Kitty Hawk, NC; Rodanthe, NC; Atlantic City, NJ; Topsail Island, NC; Emerald Island, NC; Oak Island, NC and Ocean City, MD.  I'm a beach bummette!

6.  I took four years of Spanish in high school and I'm actually quite surprised at how much I can remember.

7. I'm 50% Slovenian and proud of it.  My grandmother taught me alot about the language and culture, including several recipes.  I'm constantly planning a (dream) trip to the country that I hope someday will actually happen.
