Wait!

As much as I'm getting to like the new blogger there are things I hate like how it marks things spam (when they're not) an you don't see it! I guess I need to start viewing comments by clicking on the blog rather than relaying on the comment page! Anyway my point is I was nominated for the Liebster Award by Cassie of Cassie Shea and here are her awesome questions for me!

1. What's your earliest memory?
   I oddly remember being in the Christmas play when I was really little. I don't remember how young I was but I remember standing in front of everyone in the church.

   I know it may be over used but J.K Rowling her books were my childhood
3. If your house suddenly caught on fire and you had five minutes to collect five items, what would you get? (Not including pets and family, they're all safe!)

4. What are you craving right now?
   Breakfast foods
5. Who's your current favorite blogger?.
   There are so many it's hard to narrow it down to one.
6. Do you have an etsy? If not, what would you make if you decided to open one?
   I did called Craft'n Bettie but I'm working on some new items and debating on using etsy or shopenvy this go round.
7. What do you miss the most about your childhood?
   Having no responsibilities! Though I enjoy the freedom of adulthood I miss not having to worry about anything.

   Graduating college.
9. First Movie that comes to mind, go!
   Emperors New Groove
10. Do you cry at movies?
    A Walk to Remember and The Fox and the Hound (EVERY TIME)
11. Have you ever been on TV? (Bonus question for me! - I have! I was on "Too Fat For Fifteen: Fighting Back". No, I wasn't the main star, but I did go to the Wellspring program and was featured on the summer episodes for Emily (who's one of my little friends!))
    Nope but I always have weird dreams that I was on Full House for some reason lol.

Liebster Award

I've done a few of these months ago and they're always fun! I was nominated by two lovely bloggers and couldn't resist answering the questions :)

Questions from Emily of Celebrating the Day:

1. What are you listening to right now?Primadonna Girl // Marina and the DiamondsI've been a little obsessed over her after listening her songs via other bloggers
2. What is your favorite place in the world?I love the mountains of North Carolina there is just something so relaxing about them.
3. Cake or pie?How about Pake?
4. Would you rather live in a treehouse or on a house boat.I don't know if this is Dustin's apocalyptic talk but I'd say house boat!
5. If you could meet anyone in the world (alive or dead), who would it be?This is a tough one but I'd go with Billie Piper.
6. Describe your life 20 years from now.Hmm...20 years from now I'll be 42 and hopefully have kids, a nice house, a cafe/coffee shop where everyone hangs out to hear the local bands and such. I would hope I've travels outside the states at some point and that I still craft or go thrifting.
7. In a movie about your life, which actress would play you?I don't know any celeb that actually resembles me but they never do in those movies based on a true story so I'd get Kat Dennings to play me!
8. If you had to throw a themed party for all your friends this weekend, what would the theme be?It may be the fact I'm starting to miss the beach I'd have a totally cool beach bash. 
9. Which ice cream flavor best fits your personality.I'd say I'm pistachio that odd flavor that people don't usually get but once they do they realize how awesome it is :) 
10. If you could change your name what would you change it to?
    I actually do like my name (thought I do complain when I hear jokes about it) if I could change it I'd have something I could have a nickname with.
11. Whose is your favorite fictional character? 
    Luna Lovegood- She was a little odd to others yet she was so brave and fearless. I think that by being herself, being strong in her beliefs and not caring what others thought made her such a strong female character that I wish I could be.

Questions from Jessie of My Mod Style:

1. If you made a "bucket list" what would be one of the top things you'd want to do?
   I have a bucket list and have marked off the few and my number one was donating my hair to make wigs for a cancer patient which I did last year!
2. What is your favorite movie?
   I love Hocus Pocus and wait for it to come on every year around Halloween :)
3. Are you a dog person or a cat person, and why?
   I like both but I grew up with cats so I tend to like their laid back style and self efficiency.
4. What was your favorite childhood toy?
   I loved my barbie jeep! We didn't have mega back yard but I pretend the gravel drive way was the road and when I would go back around in the grass I'd pretend I was "off-roading" and would run over the tree roots. It is one of the reasons why I still want a jeep.
5. What is your favorite type of music?
   I like so much it's hard to just like a type but most of it is some form of rock or alternative. I mostly listen to what I grew up with 90's grunge/alternative, 80's metal and 60's rock but I also like stuff I got into as a teen like punk rock, indie, and some electric.
6. If you could travel to one place where would it be?
   I'd love to visit Europe (I say Europe because I can't narrow it down to just one country)
7. What is your favorite thing about your personality?
   I like I try to be a good person, not just because I'm Christian or doing it to benefit myself but because  I know it's the right thing to do and it might make someones day better.
8. What is a perfect day for you?
   Going thrifting and finding all the goods I want, then coming home to relax and craft and taking my time as the day goes along
9. What is your favorite decorating style?
   I like vintage but don't like one specific period style so I love that kind of eclectic style that brings all my favorite things like modern and mod with a touch of homey vintage into the mix.
10. Do you have any collections?
    I collect too much lets begin the list: Pyrex dishes, Owls, Mugs, Our fortunes from fortune cookies (which I need a little jar for those), photo-booth strips, paint by numbers and cross stitch portraits. 
11. If you were a cartoon character, who would you be?
    Marceline from Adventure Time

My First Blog Award: 7 Things

I've only been part of blogger for maybe a year but I'm still a little new when it comes to awards and what to do. So with that I'd like to give a big thank you to the two lovely ladies that gave me this award: Melissa (Simply, Melissa Ashley) & Bree (The Art of Being Cool)!!

Now that I know what to do (rather than just being excited my little ol' blog got awarded something) here are the rules:
1. Say "thank you" with a linking post2. Write 7 things about yourself3. Give the award to 15 other blogs4. Inform them about it!
Even though I've already told you a lot of things with my 21 Things series I still have a few things unknown about me:
1. I'm allergic to pineapple as long as I eat it. So I can cut it but I can't consume it or anything that has been in contact with the pineapple juice.2. I have the odd "talent" of crossing my big toe with my "index" toe on my right foot only.3. I taught myself how to do the Elvis lip, not because of him, but I wanted to teach myself how to do something I couldn't before.4. I love to read though I don't do it as much because I get so involved with the book nothing else gets done. I just can't put a good book down!5. I'm a big sucker for paranormal shows/documentaries.6. I can't roll my tongue. I tried to learn how when I was younger but to no avail. My friend Laura tried to teach me Spanish and I tried to mimic the sound when she rolled her words but it sound horrible.  7. I have a tattoo :)
