QUESTIONS:

1. Aside from scrapping, do you have any other hobbies? If being a mom taxi counts definitely that! But really, photography (currently mostly sports photos of kids games but love getting to take them of all the team and share with other parents), and I'm learning to knit
2. Favorite holiday/vacation....where and when? Honeymoon in 2003 a cruise to the Caribbean - loved exploring, loved the stuff to do on the boat, traveling is the best
3. Favorite inspirational quote/words/poem...why? "No one can make you feel inferior without your consent" because it reminds me that I'm valuable, and I get to decide my worth not someone else, to consider the source of harsh words
4. Favorite room in your home....why? toss up between the kitchen/living room because that's where we do most of life together as a family from watching movies, playing games, eating, conversations & my office space because I have a space to get away when I need quiet
5. Do you have a favorite tv show/movie/book...what is it? Not sure there is a favorite tv show/movie/book but currently watching Alone as a family & hubby & I just finished Hell's Kitchen

 

1. Aside from scrapping, do you have any other hobbies? Theater, Dancing, Singing, & Baking
2. Favorite holiday/vacation....where and when? We don't really get to go anywhere too often. I would say but I loved the vacation we took to OBX! I would love to go back or to check out a new beach!
3. Favorite inspirational quote/words/poem...why? Lead with your heart ain't that the only way ~ Dermot Kennedy. Because Dermot is a lyrical genius...very moving!
4. Favorite room in your home....My bedroom because I'm always tired! lolol
5. Do you have a favorite tv show/movie/book...what is it? I love Lord of the Rings but have way too many favorites.

 

1. Aside from scrapping, do you have any other hobbies? photography, though I've lost a lot of interest in that compared to several years ago, and I also journal a lot, read quite a bit, and consume a lot of audio and video content (primarily podcasts and YouTube)
2. Favorite holiday/vacation....where and when? It's been many years since I had real vacation, and I have a bad memory, so I'm feeling perplexed by this one. Is it asking about trips we've already taken or places we like to go regularly? Either way, I don't have a favorite. I'm hoping to travel again in the future and find favorite places . . .
3. Favorite inspirational quote/words/poem...why? Wow, this is harder than I expected when I started. I never have just one favorite of anything. Can I just share an image of some words that made me laugh recently?
4. Favorite room in your home....why? I guess that would be my nook. It's the space off the kitchen, next to the family room, that was intended to have a little table but the house also has a dining room and who needs two tables? Anyway, we are not a family that eats frequently at the dining table; it's used more for family games. So the nook has become my office, containing my desk and bookshelves, my computer and all my scrappy stuff, and it's right in the middle of the house, so I'm available and can see everyone. But it's arranged so when I'm working on my huge 27" iMac, I'm partially hidden and feel some sense of privacy. I spend more time in this spot than anywhere else in my house. The chair is one of our dining table chairs with an upholstered seat, comfy.
5. Do you have a favorite tv show/movie/book...what is it? Again, I don't have all time favorites of anything, but currently my favorite show is Tyler & Todd, on YouTube, a couple who were traveling North America in a RV they renovated themselves prior to the pandemic and now they're building an off grid cabin in the woods in Nova Scotia. They're funny and sweet and the videos are beautiful, uplifting me in stressful recent months. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZkGmgbBziqGCYI3x9hVQPg

The line "the woods are lovely, dark and deep, But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep..." is one that sticks with me.

• Aside from scrapping, do you have any other hobbies? In past years, many. Currently none except scrapping although I do have lots of supplies still around for counted cross stitch.

• Favorite holiday/vacation....where and when? Absolutely loved my Western Caribbean cruise in 2010 but my favorites are always the ones spent with family even if it isn't a "vacation" location.

• Favorite inspirational quote/words/poem...why? "Money is 80% behavior, 20% head knowledge. It's what you do, not what you know." -- Dave Ramsey. I kept this front and center during my process to become debt free over 10 years ago being mindful that my behavior was why I was in debt. I've been debt free for 5 years and it is a wonderful feeling!

• Favorite room in your home....why? My office. It has everything I need. The computer, a TV, and a couch that is comfy enough to sleep on.

• Do you have a favorite tv show/movie/book...what is it? Not really. I like a lot and do have some movies that I will watch more than once but no one stands out. Same for TV shows. As for books, I'm usually a read once and done but I have read the John Jakes series "Kent Family Chronicles" several times. I do own both the hardback and the Kindle editions of these 8 books. Guess it is time to read them again... been a few years!

2. Favorite holiday/vacation....where and when? The Bahamas in 2000 (the one and only family vacation we went on)
3. Favorite inspirational quote/words/poem...why? "No one can make you feel inferior without your consent" - Eleanor Roosevelt. It's good to remember that you are in charge of your feelings and no one else.
4. Favorite room in your home....why? The dining room because it's where I spend most of my day since it doubles as my office.
5. Do you have a favorite tv show/movie/book...what is it? Not really. I don't really have favorites in general. I might like something for a while, but not in perpetuity.

3. Favorite inspirational quote/words/poem...why? If I am not for myself, who is for me? When I am for myself, what am I? If not now, when? The interpretations of this saying have been numerous since it was said in the first centuries of our era. And for me, the focus on If Not Now, When? is most important.
