What type is it?no

24 years

12. What is your favorite item in your shop right now?
Hmm... Maybe my little blue "hope" sign... Or the moon...

13. What would you like to do that you have not done yet?
I would like to see other parts of the country, I have been in the Pacific Northwest my whole life. I have never been east of the Rockies. I would also like to go to Ireland and Mexico. I would like to be able to paint better. Maybe get my whole house clean all at once, that's a dream of mine... :)

14. If we were having a team party, what would you be bringing?
I would imagine myself bringing something yummy and creative like pasta with lots of different kinds of cheeses or some middle eastern salad. But when I finally went to make it the baby would be crying, the boys would be arguing and I would be a frantic mess. If my husband was home he would pick up the pieces and make something better than I could have anyway, because he cooks better than I do. But if he wasn't I would either try to get it all together or end up bringing some fruit platter from the store and hope nobody notices. :/

Chocolate.

16. What type of pets do you have, if any?
We have a dachshund.

Be waited on! I don't even need a pool.

Oxygen?

19. Does your vehicle have a name, if so, what is it?
nope.

20. Is there anything other type of items that you would like to add to your current shop?
Fabric art, do some more "real" art paintings, colored pencil drawings... Perhaps when I have more time. I do plan to list some hand dyed fabrics, painted picture frames, more "useful" accessory type things.

I have a blog at http://ramblingtheoldpaths.blogspot.com/ I post there about our family, home schooling and general thoughts on life if anyone would like to get to know me better.
