Interview Ideas ♥

I ended up interviewing my husband about his memories of the births of our children (now 19, 17, and 14) but I had a few other ideas first: when my friend and I met, our early walking days (we walk together weekly), and, from scrolling through the challenge thread, I considered the fabulous idea of reminiscing with my husband about our honeymoon.

 

As life changes, my husband and I have been talking about when we bought our first house - more than 5 years ago; or when he was in school and when we went to school together.

I've also thought about 9/11. It was such a big day in my life and my husband but happened before my son, and my brother was only 3, so he doesn't really remember life before.

I've also thought about asking my mom about Halloween when I was a kid. I remember it being one way, but I'm sure she remembers it another way. To me: She was magical and able to sew 3 costumes in no time flat. But I'm sure if I ask her, I'll learn she stayed up late sewing, and worked on it while we were at school.

 

@bestcee My mother did the same thing! Actually, she made a lot of the clothes that I wore! I remember one Halloween outfit that she made me. It was supposed to be a pilgrim outfit. Black to the floor with a white apron and collar. There was even a hat to wear with it. I was so proud of that outfit....until everyone started asking me why I had dressed like a nun! LOL! It's funny now but it wasn't back then! I ended up wearing it again in a play right before Thanksgiving!

But that would be a good interview. Finding out how Halloween has changed from one generation to another. Or from one region of the country to another. One could even view Christmas in that way as well. or ask about family traditions.

 

@AnneofAlamo Thankyou Anne for starting this thread. I am still stuck so this will possibly be a challenge I will need to skip.

 

This is a tough challenge and I am not one to go asking folks to allow me to interview them. But we are on the 23rd day of the month and I will NOT allow myself to give up this far into the month. I will rise....even if I have to interview the CAT.

 

I would do a pet interview but we do not have a pet.

 

What about a neighbors pet? Or the neighbor about their pet?

 

I am all for these as well! I am up to answering questions too!

 

Interview another TLP member about scrapbooking five years ago (I'm happy to be interviewed along with Anne!). What program were you using? What site was your favorite? Who was your favorite designer?i Did you do MOC five years ago? What was your experience?

 

Think about questions you want to answer or reflect on yourself, then pick someone else to interview who has said they're willing in this thread. If you don't care to keep the random person's answers on your page, you can keep a copy with just your answers for yourself.

 

I love journaling challenges and don't find them hard. If anyone wants to interview me about anything, just send me a message.

 

I confess that this challenge will be the hardest part for me. I'm with my fiance for less than 5 years, I don't have kids, my mom passed away...I'll need to use someone's ideas, for sure!!

 

maybe I'll interview you girls! @AnneofAlamo @umyesh @michelepixels

 

@AnneofAlamo @Carla @umyesh
Thankyou for the offers to be interviewed but isn't the criteria for the challenge that it is to be an event you both shared in real life?

 

I don't think you have to know the person or have shared the event in real life.

 

Does it have to be 5 years or more or does it just have to be in the past, like last year or last month?


Answering my own question! Yes, at least 5 years ago.

 

I went back and re-read the challenge. It doesn't need to be even someone that you shared an event with. Just someone about a past event. Maybe your friend went to a concert that you could not attend. Ask questions about the concert. Or it could be a family reunion that you were not able to attend.

 

I think I'll do that thing of just start a conversation with a friend and then use the answers, without having a real interview!

I love the concert idea, @Carla !
