- I am a handbag freak. If you think I love shoes, you ought to see the other side of the closet. Oh my! If you share my obsession, then no explanation is needed. If you don't, I couldn't begin to make you understand what it is about new purse smell that is like no other.
- I have a thing for bald headed men. Don't tell Cat Daddy although I think he suspects. I mean, not to the point I want him to shave his head or anything, but if a man has the head and the face for it, there is only one word to describe it....MMMMM! (Think Captain Picard, Chris Daughtry or Jay Bush!)
- My secret vice is Brazil nuts. I am so nutso for these nuts. If you want to shut me up, just give me these to eat and I am too busy to talk!
- I love to wear white clothes in the summer even though I look awful in white! I like to feel like I am at the Hamptons for the whole summer. I think I should mention I also am one of those girls who cannot stay clean and yet I want to wear white. I run around looking like the renegade Good Humor Man for the better part of three months even into the fall.
- I am addicted to game playing. No one will play with me anymore because I don't know when to stop. Check out Moonlight Hollow's Pop Quiz on Tuesdays and you will see what I am talking about!
- I am afraid to cut my hair. I feel like I am Samson and without it I have no identity or personality. This is a big thing for me to admit. It isn't vanity, it's the fear of people no longer liking me. I know it's silly, but I'm being honest here.
- I love to iron. I hate laundry, but I love to iron. I love the smell and the feeling of accomplishment that comes with it. It's soothing to my soul.
- I am a peacemaker. I hate confrontations and will go out of my way to avoid them. Arguments make me very uncomfortable even when it is someone else doing the fighting. I then feel the need to make everyone friends again. Sometimes it works, but not always.
- I am 58 years old. Don't ask again...I'm only going to tell that once and then self-destruct.
- I am a fabricaholic. I don't sew or do crafts or quilt or anything. I just buy and horde fabric. Is there a cure and do I really want to stop?
Now I am supposed to pass it on, but before I do I want to mention one other award I just received from Cathleen at Vintage Homelife Style called One Lovely Blog Award. Cathleen is a new friend as well with a beautiful blog. Isn't this one of the prettiest buttons ever? I was thrilled and over the moon when she selected me as one of her ten to receive it and I am supposed to pass it on to ten more. Now the fun begins. The ten I have selected to pass on both the Honest Scrap Award AND the One Lovely Blog Award will be listed below. These ten ladies are not just getting these awards, but they are also the ten names I pulled out of the vaporizer that I will be buying a Bella Buck Raffle ticket for. So girls, this is a win-win deal for you. I am really anxious for them to post ten things about themselves so that I will have the opportunity to get to know them better. Doesn't this sound like fun. So in no random order, here are the winners:
- RetroMod Girl
- Vintage Inspired Jewelry
- Vintage Patina
- Magnolia Memories 08
- Domestic Fringe
- Vintage Nest
- Love2Junk
- My Petite Maison
- CC Millefleur
- Delighted Heart
Girls, I will need your e-mail addresses to send to Amy at Junk Sistas. Once the drawing is done and if you win, this will be the way to get in contact with you. Good luck and here's hoping my ticket is your winning ticket.

Debbie, I new we were soul sisters! Ditto on the purses, bald men, Brazil nuts and wearing white, (always with a dribble of whatever I had to eat that day)hate confrontation and avoid it like the plague (unless someone picks on my family) and I love fabric and cannot resist it. I am a 50 something and although I am not addicted to games I do love to play. However I am not afraid to cut my hair and chop it off routinely. It always grows back...so far. Glad to hear you back to your cheerful self. Hugs, Pam
Debbie , How many soul sisters can you have? :0) You Know I love fabric! I think I look quite good in white and I love to iron! I like ironing in the summer with the window open and the outside breeze blowing in. I'm 52 and swear that by your photos I thought that you were younger . When I was 34 I had chemotherapy and lost all my hair. I was bald as a newborn - no eyebrows either. Since then every day is a good hair day even when its not! Which is quite often but that's okay - I still have it! Congrats to all your winners, I can't wait to see your new mall space. Sue
hey...well where do I begin? I am having issues with the internet today...and sometimes can't even get to any of my blogs!!!
I am so excited...I never win anything!!! woo hooo!!!!!! and now I have done it two times!!!
yea me!!
I can hardly wait!
your list of things about you was fun to read. I have a bald headed man up for sale dirt cheap if you want him...lol
I also have to ask about Bella's drawing...how do I send my shoe planter that I picked up for the draw? I got way behind in my stuff and forgot to post a photo etc...so if they need more to raffle off...I have a small shoe shaped planter that is adorable for them to throw in..I will pay the shipping on it since I am tardy!!!
I love the idea of the raffle ticket thing in lieu of a prize last time too...oh...and please email me how I can buy a ticket or two as well....yes...I am such a dumb ass these days...I blame it on the snow..
my email is gduchak@shaw.ca
I look forward to hearing from you. Oh...please put hi tootsie or something in the subject line so my junk mail filter doesn't trash you before I see it! lol
I think I have said all I can at the moment...blah blah blah..lol
will try to check in on you tomorrow!
Deb, I feel like a voyeur; loved to read all your likes etc. I too wear white all the time and I'm the first one to spill my meal down my shirt. It never fails. Glad you are feeling better. What is it with our hair? I wish I could chop my in a spike since I can not stand to mess with it. Go to Saks and look at their purses. They have great sales sometimes. I like fabric too but don't do anything with it either.
Gee Whiz I've missed you! I have a lot of catching up to do but ths was a good start! Hugs Debra
Is that a butter pat, I see in the picture from the Hag, I will be speaking with her if it is......Lauri
I'm glad I popped in so I could learn a little more about who you are:)! You sound like such a pleasant person...I too have laundry issues...I have 2 washers and 2 dryers to keep up with my household! I too would rather be ironing! Ha! Have a great day, glad you're feeling better!
Love your list! Glad I picked YOU! Bald men have always been a sexy thing to me too...my husband sadly has a full head of hair and plenty everywhere else too! Half monkey I swear.
Don't you hate when people carry on a fight in front of you. I get all nervous and sweaty and try to distract them!
Take care, still thinkin' of that darling Baby Bella!
So glad you are back and feeling better. We always miss your posts and you of course.
Hey Deb!! Just when I thought my blog was dying...either that, or I was gonna change my name to Love2Bore!! Saw my name on your list, and it made my morning!! Then my Dell flashed a screen at me that said I couldn't access your blog...just to keep me in line, I guess!! :} I convinced the computer that it HAD to let me on, at least so I could leave a comment! I'm off work today, so while I'm painting the kitchen cabinet doors, I'm going to be thinking about 10 things that no one knows about me...hhmmm...will also send you my email. Thanks to the Academy, and all my fans...oh wait...that's someone else's speech...Thanks Deb, for picking me!!! I'll be back!!! *elaine*
I've been so busy with other stuff... but wanted to stop by and say hello... hope you are feelin' better and... a belated happy B'day!
take care... Texas Hugs... Dixie
OMG! How did I miss your B-day? Stressing over those holes on the walls has left me with some holes in my brain! LOL!!! So Sorry..Happy Belated Birthday Deb, I hope it was a good one!
Have a great weekend! Lisa
Hi Debbie,
First, congrats on everything! You really did cover a lot of ground on this post (way to go!). I am going to have to do some serious thinking on the ten things about myself - if there are 10 things left that I haven't told (you think??). Ooh, and thank you for the raffle ticket, I will add it to the ones I purchased. That is so sweet of you, Debbie! Have a great weekend.
