30 Day Blog Challenge-Day 5,6 &7

I know, I've been MIA for a few days, but Seth and I have been out of town. So, I'm making it up to you by doing a few days at a time. :)
Q: 5. What is the best piece of advice you've received?
A: I've received a lot of good advice. I think one of my favorites was written in a card that we got for our wedding. It was from Seth's grandmother. Inside it said: "Of all the advice I could give, I think the most important is to never go to sleep angry."

Q: 6. Were you ever a boy/girl scout?
A: I was actually a girl scout until I was in high school! I really enjoyed it and met some great friends!

Q: 7. Summer or Winter?
A: WINTER!!! I love more than anything to sit by the window, watch the snow fall and have a nice hot bowl of soup. :) Living in Montana has given me A LOT of wonderful winter memories and really experience the winter. I love it!!


Come back later for some other fun stuff that I've been doing. I'm going to share a product review and maybe even a project or two! :)

30 Day Blog Challenge-Day 4

Q: 4. Do you believe in soul mates?
A: This one is actually really tough.
Short answer. No.

I believe that relationships do or do not work out for different reasons. I don't believe that Seth and I were meant to be together and he's the only one for me in the world. We are together because we work together. We have amazing communication. We talk about EVERYTHING. We share our fears and our dreams and we talk about silly stuff all the time. We just work together to make it work. I believe that this is the reason that we're together, not that he's the only one in the world for me.
I feel that soul mates sounds too simple. I think we're a bit more complicated than that. :)

30 Day Blog Challenge-Day 3

Q: 3. Top 5 favorite Board Games
A: This is kind of a difficult one. I have games that I like now, and ones that I liked when I was little. I'll post my favorites from now though. We don't play a lot of board games, so this post may take me a while. haha!

1: Apples to Apples

I only have 1 rule with this game. HAVE FUN! I've played with people that really play it seriously. BOOOORING! I played with my good friend Donna and we had a GREAT time!

2: Monopoly

Good old fashioned fun! -as long as I'm the top hat....-

3: Scattergories

Definitely one of my favorites!

4: Yahtzee!

"Amy, do you seriously have Muppet Yahtzee?! What are you, 5?!"
Yes, I do have Muppet Yahtzee. :)

5: Clue

"Wow, Amy, all these theme games, you must really be 5."
Yes. I actually own Simpsons Clue. It was a wonderful thrift store find. :)

See you all tomorrow!

30 Day Blog Challenge-Day 2

First, I would like to start this blog out by thanking all of you! Sometimes when I lose my motivation to blog, I'll do something small and silly and then the comments come rolling in. I read each and every once of them! Thank you all SO MUCH! You rock! For this, I may do a giveaway soon on my Facebook fan page! Stay tuned. :)
And if you're not a fan, you better hurry up and become one! :)

2 How many languages can you speak?
A: I wish I can really fluent in so many languages, but I excel in only 2. I consider myself VERY fluent in English and just a little bit in American sign language.

When I was in high school, I took 3 years of sign language, even chose a college that specialized in sign language and special education. My goal was to become a teacher for the deaf. I always just thought it was a beautiful language. I've since learned that I don't want to be a teacher, but just maybe one day I might go back to school to maybe finish a 2-year degree and become an interpreter. :)

A: Oo, wow, this is a VERY hard one. I'm going to go ahead and get complicated with this, and show you each of my favorite foods. LOL!
Favorite all time food that I believe that it goes with EVERYTHING: garlic.

Roast it, put it in sauce, put it on bread, make your own garlic butter, do whatever you choose, I can guarantee that I'll love it. I believe that once you think you have enough garlic in something, put in another clove. :)
Dessert: Hands down, cannolis.

Do we see a pattern? So, I suppose I can say that my very favorite food is anything Italian.

30 Day Blog Challenge!

I want to apologize to EVERYONE for my lack of blogging! I can almost feel the angry mob with torches on their way to my apartment.
But, I have some good excuses/reasons. Ready?
#1. My mom recently came to visit! YAY! My family hasn't been out to see me since I moved to Montana, and it was so wonderful to see her and spend time with her. Which, leads me to #2.


#2. While my mom was here, we spent a fair amount of time shopping. I LOVE LOVE LOVE shopping, and I got to go to some new stores that I had never been to. Once of them was a place here called The Quilt Away Shop. It was floor to ceiling with fabrics. We spent hours in there, just looking through all the fabrics. Did you know that they now have fabrics that are reminiscent of the 1930's, but they're new?
So, quick sidebar. Growing up, there was one possession of my parents that I coveted above everything else. It's a quilt. My great grandmother on my Dad's side made it. When I was sick, that quilt was MINE. I swore that it healed me, and my dad would sit with me and explain where all of the fabrics came from, whether it was curtains from their living room to one of his sister's dresses. The memories that the quilt held started long before my memories started with it. I now wait impatiently for the large package under the Christmas tree to be that quilt, but I know better because my dad would never part with it. However, it's nice to have hope, right? :)
So, the 1930's fabric that I saw in the quilt shop reminded me of my great-grandmother's quilt. They were beautiful, simple, retro, yet new. Of all of them I picked one with retro patterns to make myself some beautiful kitchen curtains. After that, I might have to pick up some of the other fabric to make myself my own quilt. :)

#3. HALLOWEEN!!! That's right ladies and gents, it's time to start getting ready! I'm planning a swap with my 2 favorite crafty ladies, so I will be getting ready for that SOON!

#4. I'm working on PROJECTS PROJECTS PROJECTS! Here's a new one! These are now available in my shop, and I will be taking custom orders for different colors. Aren't they cute?!


Ok, enough excuses. I need a bit of a blog motivation. So, here it is! The 30 day blog challenge. I found this on another blog, and this seems like the perfect way to get me out of my blogging rut. :) So, keep looking out for it, I will probably be posting the very first one right after this.
I hope everyone is doing well and I hope that everyone had a good long weekend. :)
