I got tagged! & Blog Award

Mar 28, 2012

Part 1:
Hello everyone!

Fair warning - this is a LOONNG post! I've been running behind on some things.

First of all, I'm choosing my favorite picks from Sugar Bee Crafts' link party! You can see my post here.

Second of all, I bet you've seen the blog tag that's been passed around. Well, here's another one! :]
I got tagged a week or two ago (sorry for the delay!!) by Kayla's Creations and yesterday by Marilyn from 4 You With Love. Thank you both!

The Rules:
1. Post the rules
2. Answer the 11 questions the tagger posted for you and then 
3. Create 11 questions to ask the people you've tagged
4. Tag 11 bloggers and link them in your post
5. Let them know you've been tagged!

So I'm going to start with the 11 questions Kayla asked me:

1. If you could have one wish granted, what would it be?
Probably to fly. Totally cheesy, I know, but could you imagine how fun that would be?

2. Are you a coffee drinker?
Nope!

3. What is your favorite song?
Hmm.... I'm a huge musical fan! My favorites are Les Miserables and Wicked. I love all their songs!

4. Do you have any pets?
My dog, Zoe, who is a chihuahua-dachshund mix. I also have a pet snake, Severus Snake (for all you Harry Potter readers!).

5. What is your favorite room in your home?
I honestly don't know. I love my bedroom, because it's so comfy. I love the upstairs loft, which is always sunny and bright. I love the living room, where family time happens most.

6. What is your favorite movie?
How can I pick one? Tangled, The Hunger Games, Harry Potter, The Princess Bride, RED, and Men in Black. Such fun movies!

7. What do you like to do to relax?
I like to either take a shower, or sit on the couch and watch Netflix.

8. What is your favorite season?
Winter and Summer. I love Winter because of the nice, cool weather and Christmas crafting. I love Summer because of swimming and longer hours to craft!

9. Do you have a favorite holiday? If so, what is it?
Christmas. Yep, I love it! So many goodies and family time.

10. What would you eat everyday if you could?
Probably Pizza. It can be made so many different ways and tastes so good! Or maybe oranges - I love fruit.

11. Do you enjoy cooking?
I do, but I mostly enjoy making it look pretty. :]

Thanks Kayla for those awesome questions!

Now onto Marilyn's 11 questions:

1. What was your favorite childhood toy?
I loved this one little green dog named 'Mint' that I had gotten from a museum. I actually accidentally stole it - I walked out still holding it. My mom noticed later that night and rushed back over to pay for it! Mint is so memorable. :P

2. How many children were in your family and what is your birth order?
I have a brother and a sister. I'm the youngest and my sister is the oldest.

3. If you are married, how did you meet him?
I'm not married, so I haven't met 'him' yet!

4. What do you do when you are not blogging?
I am usually out and about, but sometimes I am at the craft store!

5. Do you do any volunteering and if so what/where?
I do a charity community yard sale each year, and we all put lots of volunteer time into donating, pricing, and making signs! Each year the money goes to a different organization.

6. What is your favorite activity that you blog about?
I love making photo tutorials about crafts!

7. What is your favorite childhood memory?
I'm not sure... maybe when I met my best friend or a Christmas with my family.

8. Who is your (fantasy) dream guy?
Oh boy! My 'dream guy' would be someone who loves the Lord and has a heart for others. And someone who likes crafting!

9. What is  the "creating/crafting" skill your mom/grandmother taught you and you always think of them whenever you make something with this medium?
I don't think there's any crafting/creating skill I have gotten from relatives. But my great-grandmother taught me three different ways to play Solitaire when I was 10.

10. Where do you see your blog 12 months from today?
I see a new, fun design, a sidebar full of sponsors, an email contacts list full of new friends, and a pile of crafts in my closet!

11. Who is your idol?
I admire my Mom's heart for others. She continuously is helping the homeless and friends in need.
