11 Answers:

[01] Why did you start this blog?  I originally started a lifestyle blog 3 years ago, but decided to start over with this one because I wanted the focus to be more on things I am creating. I want to eventually support myself through a furniture buisness, and I thought this would be a good way to display some of my work.

[02] What is your best quality? I think my best quality is that I am extremely loyal. I only let a close few in, but those people I can honestly say I would do anything for.

[03] Where do you see yourself in 5 years? Hopefully in Washington State or somewhere on the West Coast running my own buisness. I really hope by that time I’ll be a mother and homeschooling my kids, too.

[04] What makes you laugh? Thinking about when me and my boyfriend went camping together, and he read one of his comics to me and did each of the voices differently! Also, anytime I think about the ridiculous things me and some of my friends did in college, I can’t help but laugh!

[05] If you could be an animal, what would you be and why? I have no idea. Probably my dog, Pete, because he’s pretty spoiled and I would love to sleep all day rather than go to work!

[06] If you had to write about something completely different in your blog, what would it be? Probably Movie Reviews, because I love movies and I’m always watching them.

[07] How would you describe your everyday style? Haha… some people would say “Grandma-Chic” because I’m always wearing cardigans… probably a mix of bohemian and classic.

[08] What is your favorite meal? Pizza. No doubt. Orrrr Sushi.

[09]  Sweet or Salty? Salty… I really love chips and french fries. Ha!

[10] Would you free hug on the street? Sure?

[11] Do you collect anything? Empty wine bottles.
