Thanks to Tracey, you are all subjected to learning a little bit more about Me.
1. I love loud live music. Anything from a Godsmack concert to a marching band. Particularly heavy drums.
2. I have two tattoos - one is a heart on my hip and the other is a bleeding heart stem on my inner wrist.
3. I have pretty bad eyesight and have worn glasses since the 3rd grade. I actually lied to the school nurse (considering I went to a Catholic grammar school, that was really bad) during my eye exam because I wanted to wear glasses like my dad. Now that my eyesight is as bad as it is, I figure it's God's way of punishing me!
4. I'm a big Buffalo Sabres (hockey) fan and have been for as long as I can remember. (I thought of this one because the game is on right now and we just scored!)
5. I LOVE little children, and would love to quit my job as a paralegal and work in a daycare center or a pre-school.
6. I collect rocks and fossils and have many small dishes, vials, etc. around my house filled with them. I get into the woods as often as possible - I love to hike. In fact, if anyone ever comes to Niagara Falls on vacation, please let me know - I'd love to be your tour guide for a day or two and show you how amazingly beautiful the Niagara Gorge is!
7. I am a reality show junkie. It's the only shows I watch. Project Runway, Ghosthunters, Anthony Bourdain, Survivor, Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency, are a few off the top of my head that I can think of.
Ok, so now I understand I have to tag 7 others......so, I went back to see whose blogs I am following and I hope I'm not choosing someone who has already been tagged (I just started blogging not so long ago, and am still a bit green at this. Hopefully the links work).
So I hope the following amazing beaders will play along, because......"Tag! You're it!!"

We all joked and called this flower the rare "turkey blossom".
This tulip was worked in clear beads using a color thread for the middle section. Not very photogenic. Working with the clear beads drives my eyes batty. 
Here are the rest of the shapes for the board. Can't wait to see how they are beaded. I think I'll stick with pastel shades for all the flowers. I like the way it looks against the deep plum velvet.
