Wow another Tid Bit Tuesday already. I’ll be over sharing just ten things you most likely don’t know about me, and hoping you will share a few things with me too 🙂

1- My husband and I found each other through a mutual friend and met for the first time on a blind date at the Olive Garden.
2-Cover Girl Mascara is my one must have cosmetic
3-I prefer v neck tees to crew neck tees.
4-I eat strawberries almost every morning
5-I often day dream about taking a cross country trip with my hubby and Izzy ( our sweet dog)in a travel trailer.
6-My absolute favorite sneakers are keds
7-I had several box turtles as pets when I was a young girl
8- I caught iguanas with my little brother when I was young. We used to find them in the ditch behind our house. We would tie a string around their necks and walk them around like they were our pets. Then we would put them back in the ditch and watch them go back into their homes. (We did not hurt them ).
9-I don’t like yams, sweet potatoes or kiwis.
10-I own ten beautiful scarves, some silk, some patterned and some with sequins. I rarely wear any of them.
I would love to know ten random things about you too.
