ReplyDeleteCongrats on hitting 15,000!
ReplyDeleteWhen I was little I dreamed of being a neonatalogist. I think being a designer is a pretty far cry from that ... but I'm ok with that! :)
Wow congrats on all those hits! You have a great blog and I love checking in on you everyday! ohhhh I love all that blog candy you have pictured - I just gave some away and I love getting some too! lol
ReplyDeleteWhen I was growing up I wanted to be a hairdresser (would still like to be), but my parents wanted me to go to college for a "business degree" instead. oh well. :)

ReplyDeletewhen i was growing up, i wanted to be a photojournalist based in Vietnam, Thailand and Laos

I always wanted to be a teacher; and I was - for 40 years! And a principal , too. My name is Jan. Congratulations on hitting 15,000!
ReplyDeleteWow... go Nancy, go Nancy, go go go Nancy! Congrats on all the hittin' going on.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was little I wanted to be flight attendant, but that didn't come true! I was too big at 135lbs (way back WHEN hehehe). SO now I'm a pet sitter and a mom!
thanks for the AWESOME blog candy!

ReplyDeleteI dreamed of being a nurse, but my marks were far from great so I went to college instead and studied accounting and now enjoying being a SAHM of 3 little boys!! Never a dule moment in this household :lol:
Congratulations on 15000 hits! Love your blog!
ReplyDeleteOooooopps! I hit send a little too early! When I was in high school I wanted to be a landscape architect... I guess I liked the way it sounded.
ReplyDeleteNow I own a clothing and craft store and spend almost every free minute making stuff! Life is good!
Awesome that is a lot of visitors...Cool. I dreamed of marrying my king which I did and having children(3girls).Liann
ReplyDeleteHi Nancy!
ReplyDeleteWhat I wanted to be when I grew up was a mom. This past summer we had triplets. Yep, my dreams sure came true LOL!
~Amy Hoogstad
I wanted to be a lawyer! After college I decided to take a year off before law school - guess what - I never made it back to school.
ReplyDeleteAnd you have a great blog - I always enjoy reading it!
CONGRATULATIONS on the milestone!!!
ReplyDeleteI dreamed of being a secretary - thank goodnes that didn't happen. Tho, I was a bookkeeper for many years.
GREAT JOB on your blog.
Yeah, for you!!! In 1944 when I was 7 years old and in second grade, I decided I wanted to be a teacher!!! Original, huh? Scholarships of $250 allowed my dream to come true, when my tutition was $137 a quarter for a full load of classes. Taught first and second graders for 30 years, retired when I was still at the top of my game at the age of 56. I did not regret my dream!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Nancy. My name is Christie. I am new to your blog but it is beautiful! Congrats on hitting the 15,000 mark. When I was a little girl I dreamed of being a wife and mom! Finally after a university degree, my wish came true. I am married to a wonderful man and we have 4 beautiful boys. I love my life.
ReplyDeleteI'm excited to find your blog. I just told a friend today that I don't know what I want to be when I grow up (or when my dd goes to school and doesn't need me so much). When I was young I thought it would be a flight attendant so I guess that dream hasn't come true yet.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing - Tracy K.
Congrats! When I was little I wanted to be an architect...that sure did not come true - I'm a missionary!
ReplyDeleteDina
Wow!! Congrats on all those hits, Nancy. That blog candy looks awesome.
ReplyDeleteI don't really know what I wanted to be...many things actually...and I still have not come to a decision ;0) Okay in highschool I thought about being a Marine Biologist...not really much call for one in Calgary though ;0)
Hello Nancy - congrats on your hits. When I was little, I wanted to be a teacher and flight attendant. Then I realized I was scared and got sick on planes, but I do work with kids (just not a teacher).
ReplyDeleteGreat looking blog candy Nancy...good for you!
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I have a funny story about what I wanted to be (told to me by my mother since I don't remember it). When I went to Kindergarden, it was at a Catholic school taught by nuns. They asked all of us what we wanted to be when we grew as part of show and tell...my answer was Farrah Fawcett (does that date me or what?!?). Needless to say the nuns were eager to get me on another path!
For the real answer, I thought (like many of my friends who grew up in the eighties) that by the time I was 28 (i.e., the year 2000), I would be a VP of some big Fortune 500 company, have two kids, a doting husband and a gorgeous white New England-style home. (I watched the Secret of My Success with Michael J. Fox too many times!) Needless to say, that did not happen (like it even could) but I think with a lot of hard work my life has turned out better than the idealized world I imagined!
Congrats on 15,000! When I was little I wanted to be a nurse. Yeah, I totally can't handle blood, needles, or pain at all! I am totally not a nurse!
ReplyDeleteJen
Hi Nancy, congrats on 15.000 thats awsome, I wanted to marry the man of my dreams, have kids. It did happen it just took a second chance at the man of my dreams, lol. Sherry Heinrich
ReplyDeleteWow, 15,000 plus hits. That is something to be very proud of.
ReplyDeleteGrowing up I wanted to marry my very best friend and that dream came through.Through the years I have suffered from 3 major depressions, wanting to take my life.He has been there each and every time, pulling me through to the other side, always loving and caring. Yes my dream came through. We have been married 38 years. Also I am finally well. Praise God!!
Oh, I dreamed of being a Neurosurgeon/Interior Designer. I didn't realize you can't do both and that if you did the first really, really well you could hire the second. I still love to create it's just different, a more realistic me has emerged. As for the neurosurgeon thing, I am in school to be a Nurse Practitioner, know any Neurosurgeons hiring?
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on having such a great blog site!
ReplyDeleteI always wanted to be a teacher...thought writing on chalkboards was neat! Well, I became one, and it's one of the greatest joys of my life!
Hi there
ReplyDeleteneat question to answer.
Yes my deam came true.
I played "teacher" all the time when I was little. Made my sister sit in the playroom for hours and taught some mean manners to my stuffed animals.
I began my 11th year of teaching primary school this past September. So yes....
Tamara
Congratulations on 15,000!!! That's wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI dreamed of being a mommy and a musician! Well, I am a mommy now...I guess I can say that I became a musician! At least until I became a mommy! I still play a little, but not in groups anymore.
But my most important dream did come true! I have two beautiful daughters!

Love your blog and blog candy! Congrats on 15000.
ReplyDeleteJanet
Congrats on all your hits Nancy! I love your blog candy.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was growing up, the only real dream I had was being a mom. That dream did come true and I have an amazing son who is almost 21. I couldn't imagine not being a mom.
I think when I was little I dreamed of being everything - it changed every week. When it came time to deciding what to do after high school, I had a hard time deciding. I should have dreamed of being a mom - it's so wonderful!
ReplyDeleteLinda (momtooandz on SCS)
Hi Nancy, Congrats on all those hits!!
ReplyDeleteI dreamt of being many things when I was little, including being an artist! Well..I'm a stamp artist, so does that count?
Here's to your next 15K!

Hi Nancy Big Huge {{{HUG}}} for hitting 15,000 wowzie huh? See we really do love you :-) I wanted to be a Vet doc when I was really little .. But things change now I am a licensed Cosmetologist .. I have always been crafty with my hands so Stampin seems to fit in naturally
ReplyDeleteThanks for the blog candy girlie and Cheers to the next 15,000 hits

Wowza 15,000 hits that is fabulous, having said that I look at your blog every day so I think i have definitely helped to get to that, he he
ReplyDeleteUm what did I dream about being when I grew up, I honestly cannot remember, I knew I wanted to be a mum (which I am to three adorable girls) and I wanted to Join the Navy, which I very nearly did at 16/17 but then I met my boyfriend who turned into my husband and that is the end of that story!!! Alex (aka Sillybirds on SCS)
Wow Nancy! Your blog has come a long long way. I really like all the links. It's very inspirational and I think I'll bookmark your blog so I can go back to it again and again *smile*.
ReplyDeleteYou want to know what I wanted to be when I grew up? Well two things. I wanted to be a teacher. The closest to that I got was volunteeering in an elementary school as a tutor. I was also lunchroom supervisor. Not quite meeting that mark, eh? LOL
I also wanted to be nurse. All mothers need to be nurses, right? lol Well that's about as close to being a nurse that I got. I did spend a lot of time in the hospital though. I learned a lot there. Often I would have to lead a nurse step by step when she had to change my dressings.
Oh well. At least I am happy with my life as it is. It's great to be alive.
Keep up the good work Nancy. I really like it!

If you ask my father what I wanted to be when I grew up, he'll tell you a Crossing Guard. He still teases me about that one but if you check the book my mother kept for me, it will say Brick Layer. I think I may have read the "3 Little Pigs" one too many times. Neither of those "dreams" came true but I'm kind of glad they didn't!

Hey Nancy! Congrat's on having such a popular blog!!
ReplyDeleteI don't remember what I wanted to be when I was really young but as I got a little older I knew I wanted to go to college for a business degree. I thought I would work for some big business in the city. . . that held really cool New Years Eve parties like you see in the movies! LOL
That didn't happen. :-)
Happy Stampin',
DeAnna
Congratulations on so many hits! Well....I wanted to be a nurse (following in my mother's footsteps), graduated high school, was ready to enter nurses' training....then met my husband. He wasn't too happy about me working outside the home, so I never got to realize my dream. However, I have come to see that it probably wouldn't have been the best choice for me, so I'm happy with that.
ReplyDeleteHi Nancy. What wonderful blog candy and congrats on 15,000 hits. When I was younger all I ever dreamed of was becoming a Mother and thankfully, it came true. I am a pround Mom of two beautiful girls, 9 and 3.
ReplyDeleteMy dream was a very simple dream of being a good wife and mother and I think I have succeeded at both and now my dream has progressed to being a great grandmother. Thank for the great posts and the blog candy. How sweet of you.
ReplyDeleteCheryl S.
In first grade I decided I wanted ot be a teacher, just like my teacher. I have now been teaching for 17 years and love every minute of it!
ReplyDeleteColleen Mayberry
I always dreamed of being a teacher when I grew up. I think it was about third grade that I decided I wanted to be a teacher. I do have a teaching degree but am still searching for that perfect job. My husband and I just moved to open up more job opportunities for me so hopefully that works out and come fall I will have that Dream job!
ReplyDeleteStephanie Barber
15 000 Wow!! What amazing blog candy!
ReplyDeleteI dreamed of being a teacher, and I am a daycare teacher, which I find to be a very rewarding job.
Congrats on the 15000 hit mark!! I dreamed of being a teacher or CPA...no, I went into business, but am now a SAHM to 3 and love it!! :)
ReplyDeleteWow, that's alot of people visiting the blog. I guess I need to learn more about blogs in general. I'm from CST, that's where I saw the link. When I was little, my mom wanted me to be a teacher. I didn't think so. I wanted to own my own business and no kids - and here I am. I did it!
ReplyDeleteDoris
Hi Nancy!
ReplyDeleteI soooo enjoy checking out your blog, you always have such nice ideas and interesting chat!
When I was little I dreamed of being a princess and a Mom of 2 little princesses. Well, unfortunately I didn't become a princess, although the other part came true, since I have two little princesses now and they do make me 'princess for a day' sometimes. We get to wear tiaras all day! lol
I am blessed! :)
Congrats on hittin' 15,000 and many more to come!
Have a great day!

Congratulations on hitting 15k!!And thanks for the chance at great blog candy!
ReplyDeleteI wanted to be an archaeologist or an astronomer, neither of which happened but I still love gazing at the stars at night and watching other people dig up history.
Congrats on the hits! I love your blog! Has such a great name..reminds me of myself from time to time.
ReplyDeleteI never really dreamed of being one thing when I grew up but I definately wanted to do something fun and I'm a SAHM and its a blast!!
I always dreamed of being a librarian--instead I'm just a collector with thousands of books in my house! LOL I guess it kinda came true, but with a twist, like most dreams!
ReplyDeleteFUN! 15000 hits...good for you! I dreamed of being a nurse when I was little. Although that never did work out God just recently put something new on my heart and I'm, slowly, working towards that new goal! Exciting!
ReplyDeleteGreat blog candy! I like you 'mess'!
ReplyDeleteI wanted to be a teacher, which did not come true. I was just not into studying that much. :o( I became a pharmacy assistant, but have not practiced since I moved to USA. I would not have been introduced to stamping if it wasn't for that move, so I guess I am happy for it. :o)
Monika/Buzsy
I have a sweet tooth for card making and couldn't resist this temptation! As a newbie to the world of blogs, I am having a wonderful experience.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Nancy on 15000 hits, I really enjoy seeing it, just don't often leave a comment.
ReplyDeleteMy wish came true, I wanted to be a mom, and I was blessed with 3 wonderful girls and now 5 wonderful grandchildren.
Bev (Mom)
Wow , thatis a lot of hits and that some awesome candy you are giving away ! When I was little I wanted to be a Mom and now I am a Grandmother ...how the heck did that happen ? My granddaughters receive most of my scrapping and most of my stamping ....you can never have enough supplies can you ? LOL !
ReplyDeleteMy biggest dream was becoming a mom--and yes, I acomplished it! (Two "natural" and two "adopted").
ReplyDeleteCongrats on all your hits and I hope your blog candy hits me!!!
Lois H
Wow that's a lot of hits! My mom used to read me a golden book called Nurse Nancy - about a little girl pretending to be a nurse and that was the start - and I do it? You bet - for over 30 years now, I have been nursing in one form or other. Did I make the right choice? Yes - it was one of the best decisions I have ever made!
ReplyDeleteWell Nancy let see if I can add to your hits . I dreamed of being married to a handsome prince with cute babies in a mansion on the hill with a maid to do the cleaning while I played and had fun. Well he is my prince and the babies were definately cute and the second edition are way to awesome and the only maid in my house sort of on the hill is me but I can always work on that one but it is ok as I am happy and still get to play lots....Melanie Kuzik from AB
ReplyDeleteTotally cute question...I really wanted to be President of the United States and a lawyer...didn't happen!! Oh well it's actually better that it didn't because then how would I have enough time to stamp!!!
ReplyDeleteAwesome blog, I love your cards! I have been contemplating starting my own but I don't have enough confidence yet. We'll see. Anyhow, when I was a little girl I wanted to be a "checkstander" you know a checkout girl. Well I guess you could say my "dream" came true when I was 16 and worked a checkout girl for the local KMart. I have since moved onto bigger and better things:)!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Geny C
I has a list...a big list...everything from a lawyer to a professional figure skater...

ReplyDeleteMy dream growing up was either to become a Vet or a Lawyer...nope, didn't become either!
WOW....congrats on all your hits.
ReplyDeleteI dreamed of being a good wife and a mother of lots of kids just like my Mom who had 7....am very happily married and a mother of only 2!!!
Keep those beautiful cards coming!!! Cindy C.
Wow! Great hits! Congrats to you! My dream was to be a Marine Biologist...yep, really. However, guess that dream wasn't strong enough, since I ended up in Human Resources! LOL! Kathy McDowell
ReplyDeleteI actually dreamed of being a lawyer...but I am soooooooo far removed from that world! I think I am happier for my life now than what I thought I wanted when I was younger
ReplyDeleteWhen I was growing up we used to watch Quincey M.E. and I wanted to be a medical examiner just like him b/c he got to say contusions all the time....lol
ReplyDeleteCongrats on 15,000!!
Congratulations on 15000 hits!
ReplyDeleteI don't remember all the things I wanted to be when I grew up, but most of them were pretty unrealistic (pioneer, hockey player, etc.). The most realistic one was librarian.
I'm still in university and I don't consider myself fully grown up yet, so I suppose library science is still a possibility, but I don't have any firm plans to pursue it.
Nicole
I'm Toni, I thought I'd be a kindergarden teacher, or at least help out at a nursery school. Unless raising your own child counts, the dream did not come true.
ReplyDeleteLove your blog!
Congrats Nancy on the great blog. When I was growing up I wanted to become a nurse and that I did. When my 4 children were young I decided I wanted to be a stay at home "Mom" and raise them and be at home after school when they got off the bus! I never regretted my decission! Now my "baby" is 19 and I have all kinds of time to stamp and I love it!!
ReplyDeleteSandy Gustavson

ReplyDeleteI think that as a little girl, I dreamed of being a teacher. That is the one job I always pictured myself doing...from an early age. I grew up and became an art teacher. When I started having kids, I retired. Now I teach my own kids about being creative...and being a good person in the world!
ReplyDeleteGreat blog!
i dreamed of being a singer. I guess it kind of came true - I sing on our worship team at church. Love the blog candy! - Sheila
ReplyDeleteWOW...that's a lot of viewing! Congrats. My name is Lynn, now living in St. Louis, but grew up in California. :) As a little girl I watched a movie about Gidget being a UN Tour Guide and thought that was SO cool. For the longest time I wanted to either be Gidget OR a UN Tour Guide.
ReplyDeleteWell thanks to Cindy I have found your wonderful blog.....I can see why all the hits! I wanted to be an interior designer. I help in my sil's drapery shop drapery shop making pillows,spreads,valances and drapes for model homes so I sort of went there but I much prefer designing papercrafts!
ReplyDeleteWow, love your blog! I found you through Allison's *stampin when i can* blog! Beautiful arwork on your site!!!!!!!

ReplyDeleteI dreamed of being a mom and yes it came true. I have two teenagers now, so I guess dream now is for grandchildren.
Hi Nancy,
ReplyDeleteWow what a lot of hits, congratulations.
When I was really little I wanted to be a cowboy or an actress. When I was a little older I wanted to work with kids, Being too lazy to go to university I had my own and then later on worked in a daycare and then for the school district so I guess my dream came true.

Congrats on getting so many hits! That is wonderful.

Hello, congrats on hitting 15,000!!! Your blog is great :)
ReplyDeleteWhen I was little I dreamed of being an actress, then two years ago I got a chance to be a extra in a few movies. So I never hit it big, but that's okay :) I am now a mother of two beautiful girls and life couldn't be better!!!
Chantale Leclair
Yeah, for all your 15,000 hits! It is so nice that you want to hear about us, since you are the STAR! :) I always wanted to be a teacher when I was little. Although I am not a school teacher, I do have 2 children and I am teaching them things all the time (good manners, stamping...hee hee) so all in all my dream came true! And btw--love your blog! Maybe that will be my adult dream, to have a nice blog with 15,000 hits just like you!! Lisa Keeffe
ReplyDeleteBelieve it or not, I wanted to be a nun when I was a little girl. They just seemed to have such a calm and meaningful life. :) Well, after leaving active duty Army I am now a SAHM and loving it! :)
ReplyDeleteWhen I was younger I wanted to become a airline attendent and travel the world, own a purple sportscar with white leather interior. That didn't happen but the life I have could not have turned out so well, I am truly blessed to have eight WONDEFUL children and to be able to stay home and homeschool them, it's a bigger dream than I could have ever have dreamed!!!!!!!! So when you dream your dreams be sure you leave room for the unexpected because sometimes it's better than our dreams!!
ReplyDeleteWow that's a ton of hits, but of course all well deserved!!
ReplyDeleteI use to dream of working with aquatic life, but since I have an insane fear of getting in to the ocean, let a lone even a pool, alas it didn't come trues.
Hi Nancy,

I wanted to be a mommy and a librarian when I grew up. So far none of those things have come true, but I am not grown up yet...lol.

ReplyDeleteWhen I was little, I wanted to either be an actress or a singer. Now, if you've heard me sing, you'll know why I'm not a singer :-)
I sorta did some acting cuz I grew up to be a teacher and then I've moved into administration so I act like a grownup on a daily basis :-)
I dreamed of being a mother and my dream came true.
ReplyDeleteHow exciting to have that many hits!
ReplyDeleteGrowing up, I always dreamt I would like in a big city (as I grew up on a farm in a rural area!) - and I am now on a ranch in a rural area! Who knows - maybe in retirement!

ReplyDeleteI originally wanted to be a hairdresser (at age 5) and wanted no kids b/c they would interupt my business! But then as I got older, I wanted to be a nurse and a mom! I did become a nurses aide and worked in a hospital for a few years before going on to another profession all together AND I am a now stay at home mom to three little boys (5 and under) So bits and pieces came true!!!
Congrats on all the hits here!!
ReplyDeleteI dreamed of being an architect or a teacher. I was a teachers aide before I decided to stay home with my kids. That's more important to me.
WOW -- lots of blog candy!
ReplyDeleteI found your blog through my friend Lorie (http://live-love-laugh-create.blogspot.com/) and this is my first visit!
I'll try not to get too sappy....
I dreamed of being a mommy when I grew up. I used to treat my dolls just like they were a real baby. So far, the dream hasn't come true.
Anyway, thanks for being so generous! :)
Wow, I'm glad I looked on Dawn Griffith's list and found Stephanie's blog, which led me to your blog.
ReplyDeleteGreat Job!

Wow ! The blog candy is amazing ! I dreamed of being a rockstar ! It never happened but I still rock out at home :)
ReplyDeleteirlsWhen I look back in the book my mom kept when I was growing up, she had printed that in 1st grade I wanted to be a cheerleader. FUNNY! I took a cheerleader class through community ed in 5th grade! That was it!
ReplyDelete15,000! That's amazing!
ReplyDeleteWhen I was little I wanted to be a music teacher (not so dreamy, but that's ok!) It sort of came true - I have my education degree and right now, since I'm staying at home with my kids, I'm teaching piano. Close enough???
Thanks for the chance.

Congrats! :)
ReplyDeleteNice job on the hits!
ReplyDeleteI dreamed of becoming an archaeologist when I was young. (I loved Indiana Jones!) Going to far off countries discovering the secrets of the past. Wow, I am so far from that dreamworld now - reality set in and I am in the electronics industry now!
I'm new to your blog and wow. I can see why you have so many hits.
ReplyDeleteI dreamed of becoming a doctor and a mom. I didn't become a doctor but I am a mom of 4. So half of it came true.
Congradulations on all your hits. You have a wonderful blog. Keep up the great work!
ReplyDeleteI wanted to get into architectual drafting. That dream hasn't come true yet so does that mean I haven't grown up...lol.

ReplyDeleteI once told my mom when I was "little" - when I grow up I want to go to college and be a waitress just like you! LOL
(I did actually do some part-time waitressing while in college!)
Woe, what an awesome give away. I dreamed about being a profesional athlete. Nope, didn't come true.

ReplyDeleteI did want to become a doctor? Not so good at chemistry though... Instead I became a teacher and hope that I can help children believe that they can do anything that they want

Hi Nancy! I dreamed of becoming a pediatric oncologist as a kid. The reality of dealing with sick children hit me when I got out of high school and I knew I would not have the emotional stamina to be around little children in pain ... it broke my heart. Instead, I got married and have had 4 kids (thanks to God that they are healthy!).

Hi Nancy - It's great to hear your blog is so popular. Love getting inspiration from a Calgary girl.
ReplyDeleteAll the best,

Hi Nancy! I just discovered your blog...beautiful stuff!!
ReplyDeleteMy dream as a kid was to become a special ed. teacher, as my brother had a severe learning disability. Turns out after working in the hotel/restaurant industry for years (and hating it) I had the opportunity to go back to school about 6 years ago and now work as a Special Ed. Asst. and I love it!!
Congratulations! I love reading the blog of a fellow Cdn.
ReplyDeleteI dreamed of becoming a fireman, so I could help people...just like my dad. Although it may not of come true for me, my husband was recently accepted to the volonteer fire department in our community.
