blog hoppin' with pink paislee...

We had the most beautiful April showers here today....I can't think of a more peaceful storm....big rolling clouds...calm and warm....then sweet spring showers to make  everyone happy....LOVE spring rain.

Well, Pink Paislee has some fun things planned to ring in Easter and spring...so get ready to hop from blog to blog, enjoy the scenery, and enter to win some beautiful packages from Pink Paislee.

Here is a fun little something or other I created with my Pink Paislee stash and a little metal watering can I've been holding stashing for years...have I ever mentioned that I have an annoying habit of hanging onto things whether or not I use them....oh, how it drives me nutty....but today I was glad I am annoying that way :)     

I painted, I glittered, I sanded, I stuffed, I glittered some more and was so tempted to glitter that darn peep...or spray it with some Glimmer Mist....it's too bright...but, it's a peep, and I felt a little guilty, so it remains untouched...but it still annoys me...I'm anal that way :)

Now, I apologize for what's coming next....the Pink Paislee Design Team was asked to answer a few questions about ourselves....and I really don't like talking about myself much...but I'll do it for the team :)  Feel free to skip to the bottom to see the pretty prize :)

1.) Where did you grow up? Do you still live there?

I grew up in American Fork, Utah....sometimes I wish I still lived there....but I followed my honey to the desert and in the desert I shall stay :)

2.) What is a typical day like for you?

Up at 6:30....get the kiddo ready for Kindergarten...fix a gourmet breakfast of an egg sandwich for the big kid, and eggs and toast for the little one...get the house in order while she's at school...play when she's home....head to the store to work a bit...time to start dinner...off to bed...ready to begin again :)  Fascinating....

3.) What is your favorite fashion accessory? Why?

Not much of a jewelry girl....I wear the same silver earrings everyday...and the same sweet wedding band everyday...and I'm happy.  Watches make me itchy....but I love to shop for them.  Necklaces make me itchy....but I love to collect them...my favorite is my sterling silver moose charm on a necklace from Jackson Hole, WY.

4.) What is playing on your ipod right now?

Gosh, I wonder where my ipod is :)  Too busy to plug it into my ears....but I do love to groove to Alison Krauss and Robert Plant singing, Gone, Gone, Gone :)  Have you heard IT???!!

5.) Name one television show that you MUST TIVO each week?

Sadly, I must admit I'm not a TIVO-er....so I miss many of my favorite shows...BUT if I were a TIVO-er, I'd have to TIVO CSI Las Vegas.....no need to explain why.

6.) What is your favorite movie of all time?

Australia....no need to explain why :)  I adore that movie.

7.) What is your favorite Pink Paislee product?

Helloooooo....GLITTER...PIXIE STIX....SHIMMERY STUFF :)

8.) If you could only keep 1 scrapbooking tool what would it be?

I'd be nothin' without my deco scissors...Fiskars to be exact....they pretty the world up a bit in my opinion.

9.) If you didn't scrapbook what other activity would you spend time on?

Quilting...quilting...and more quilting.  I LOVE to make wall quilts, baby quilts...lap quilts...fabric is like paper to me....it lures me in with it's patterns, textures, beautiful combinations....ohhhhhh....I need to find a fabric shop.

10.) What advice would you give to someone who wants to start scrapbooking?

Enjoy each moment of it...notice how memories flood your mind as you're creating something for someone else or about someone else....scrapbooking is as much about the process than it is about the end result.  Allowing yourself to be creative in any form is a gift to yourself.

11.) What would you say your scrapbook style is today?

I'm a shabby, old, weather-beaten soul....if it's pale, cream, aqua, pink, distressed and stitched, and has a button, trim, some glitter, and a bow....I'm a gonner :)

That was painful...and if you're still awake, here is a picture of what you're going for!

Leave  a comment on my blog before Sunday morning to be entered into the random drawing....the winner will be announced on Tuesday and you can visit each of the Pink Paislee designers at their blogs to do the same!  Here is a link to Pink Paislee's blog where you'll find links to each designer's blog.

Have a wonderful weekend!
