La la la Liebster Award



I was nominated for my 3rd Liebster Award! I'm not trying brag, I just think it's funny. It's very flattering that people like my blog and that take an interest in  what I'm interested as well. This time I was selected by the lovely CC Leona of thattallgirl2. So the deal is is that you have to list 11 facts about yourself, answer the 11 questions given to you, ask 11 new questions for the bloggers you nominate for the award, choose 9 bloggers with 200 followers or less, go to each blog and let them know that you nominated them, and lastly thank the nominator and link the post back to their website.

Hmmmm so 11 facts about me? This is harder than I thought.... I'll keep it short and sweet.

1. I'm turning 32 February 28th! I can't believe it..... I don't feel like I'm 32, I still don't know what the 
    hell I'm doing.
2. I graduated from a small Art School in Columbus, Ohio with a BFA in Still Based Media Studies.... which is 
    a fancy title for "Photography". Ha!
3. I've been with my husband Matt for over 11 years now and have been married for 6! We are best friends.
4. I run my own small little crochet business "Nothing but a Pigeon" making Amigurumi toys and mounted 
    animal heads. They do pretty well.
5. My husband and I don't have children but a small little Min Pin named Lucy... she is the love of our lives.
6. I wasn't a geek in High School but was bullied by all the "popular girl's". My High School was literally like 
    the movie "Mean Girl's." It sucked.
7. I'm published in a book "Hat Shop" featuring my headband pattern.
8. My favorite food right now is seaweed salad... I'm addicted.
9. I always remember my dreams.
10. I was in two commercials for a local photography store in Columbus, Ohio. They were pretty lame.
11. I don't like sweets but cheesecake is my weakness.

11 questions: 
1. What is your favorite part about blogging? 

     I have to say my favorite part would be coming up with the post idea's and taking the photo's while I'm 
     out exploring. I love to take pictures and upload them and edit them, guess that's just the photographer it me.
     Actually posting them on blogspot is alright. But I'm more of a conceptual type of gal.

2. If you could only wear one color your whole life, what would it be?

    Mustard yellow. Yellow is a happy color and is bright like my personality.

3. Who is your favorite designer and why?
    
     I was never one to get caught up in big time labels... I likes what I likes.

4. Whats three words you would use to describe your personal style?
    
    Whimsical, playful, quirky.

5. Do you believe someones style reflects their personality?

   To a degree but not always, people tend to surprise me on a daily basis.

6. Do you have any pets? If not, do you want any pets? 

    I do! I have a little Chocolate Miniature Pinscher, her name is Lucy.

7. What type of music do you like? and what is your favorite song?
    
   I'm partial to "Indie Music", right now my favorite song is "Revenge" (feat. The flaming Lips) by Danger 
   Mouse  & Sparklehorse.

8. Where would you love to travel?
    
     I would hit up Prague first.

9. Do you like where you're living now? why? 
  
    I do! Matt and I moved here over 4 years ago to get away from the hubbub of life in Columbus, Ohio. 
    The weather is great here. I do miss Ohio in the Fall though.

10. What is one thing you want to accomplish in the next 10 years?
    
      Matt and I want to purchase a vintage caravan and rehab it and travel.

11. If someone gave you 1 million dollars what would you do with it?
     
      Quit my daytime job. Move my Parents to Austin and set them up in a house so that they can retire, pay for 
      all  my Dad's medical bills, buy a caravan and travel with Matt. Oh and we would pay off all our debt as 
      well and I would also donate money to help abused and neglected animals.
