Seven Things About Me

Cathleen over at Design by Cathleen just challenged me to write 7 things about myself. Let’s see what I can come up with…..

1. I was born in 1960 in Sacramento, California to my cute mom and dad. I was born with a large hematoma on my head because I had a hard time getting into this world. My parents named me Kari Lee but as I grew up I took on the name of Karin instead.

2. I have one brother and one sister both of whom I adore!
I am 2 1/2 years older than my brother and 12 years older than my sister

3. I married my sweet heart 24 years ago (we just celebrated our anniversary last month)

Oh don’t worry I smashed the cake in his face too!

We have always had fun together! When this happened a little boy that was watching yelled out…”Do it again” and everyone just roared with laughter.

Hong Kong last year.

3. We were blessed to have two beautiful daughters that I am so proud of.

4. I love to cook and sew.

This is a quilt I am currently working on for Emily for Christmas.

Some yummy grilled potatoes and asparagus I made back in the summertime.


5. I also spend lots of time decorating my home

6. I used to be very afraid of flying but now I have flown to Hong Kong! 14 hours in an airplane!!

7. I love spending time with all of our family members whenever I get the chance to be with any of them.
Okay so there is 7 things about me. Now to pass this along…Are you ready for the challenge?

    Oh Karin, (I like Kari it’s also my daughters name)

    You did a Fabulous Job! Your daughter’s are Beautiful! I always wanted daughters, and felt blessed to get 3. I bet you did too.

    You and your husband really look as if your good friends! I love your old family photos too. I didn’t have any available 🙁

    Thank you for letting me see a little more into your life!

    xoxo,
    Cathleen
