Favorite blog/s and why? I love my cousin Jadi's blog {Homemaking Fun}.
She is truly passionate about what she does. Most of her crafts revolve doing something for her children. She is absolutely amazing and I wish I didn't live a half a world away.
I also love "The Idea Room".
We are so much alike. I will be so excited about a craft I've done, and I get ready to post it, only to find out she's already beat me to the punch, so I don't end up blogging it. She's already done the hard part. Anyway..How could you not love her?

A few things we don't know about you

*I am literally a 10 cow wife. My husband sold 10 of his cattle to help pay for my engagement ring.
*I was a go getter in high school. I played soccer, basketball, cheerleading, Student Body Secretary, Madrigals, etc... busy busy busy and loved every minute of it!
*I met President Monson when I worked at Snelgroves Ice Cream shop in Sugarhouse. I still remember...A large Rocky Road waffle cone.
*Married at 18. {and NO..I wasn't pregnant}
*I burned my house down trying to make doughnuts when I was 13.
*We haven't had TV for nearly 3 years.
*I hate talking on the phone.
*I seem to have a jukebox system built into my mind. I am usually the first one to blurt out who sings the song. Even the good old Oldies!
*I am a homebody

Pet Peeves? SNORING. Chewing Loudly. Gulping Cereal. Fingernails on the chalkboard.

Guilty Pleasure? Blogging.
Eating dessert first.


Naughty Little Secret? I HATE HOUSEWORK! We moved into our house 2 years ago, and I STILL have unpacked boxes in my craft room. ARGG.
I also never sleep. I am secretly on my computer until 3:00 am sometimes.

NO Crafter is perfect..what gives or is neglected? *Housework. I'm not going to lie. The only clean rooms in the house are the living room and kitchen.
*Exercising.

How would you explain your crafting style? A little bit of this and a little bit of that, but mostly hybrid and Computer Crafts.

Favorite tutorial on your blog? Tile Pictures

What crafting skills do you lack? Crocheting, Knitting, and complicated sewing.

How are you inspired by your crafts?
*I think I have a knack for looking at something..anything..and I invision how I can put my own spin on things. I can be sitting in the middle of an ihop, and look at the decor and somehow come up with a craft that pertains to the decor. Wierd! I know!
*Also by the other fabulous bloggers around.

Do you sell your crafts, if so what is your store called and where can we find it? Umm...that's a super secret squirrel question. I am currently working on a actual website where I will be able to sell:

Custom Blogs
I'll let you know where to find it when it's complete!

Erika! WHAT A SMALL WORLD! Yes, I know Sheridan I taught her piano for a few months before she moved to North Pole. Do you know the Wendorf's? They moved up there around the same time that Sheridan did.

Matt and Janelle Wilson (Radio announcer in Kodiak now in Kenai) are some of our BEST friends! We just love them and are going up to Alaska this summer to see my husband's family in Fairbanks and visit with the Wilson's in Kenai!

We loved being in Kodiak. We were there from 2004-2008. Great place, gorgeous scenery, safe town. Like a lot of small towns in Alaska :)

I'd love to swap blogs sometime. Thanks for the post and I am looking forward to browsing your blog too!
