I'm back!!!

Hey there! I'm back, and trying to get back a lot more, I promise.
I've been doing a book blogging thing, and I've not done a lot of crafting...Which I've been wanting to rectify. I have tons of pictures on my computer, I guess the next step is to digi or physically scrap!
Shimelle's having Blogging for Scrapbookers again, and I'm REALLY excited about it!
I took a copic class, and I've been buying some supplies, but I just need to sit down and do it... So look for that in the next couple of weeks.
I've been reading blogs since I've not been creating and kept ideas and everything that I've really been into, I just haven't been hit with inspiration.
Take care all!

5 Question Friday

Questions for Friday, June 18th (click on the icon above to be taken to OP):
1. What is your favorite thing about summertime? Reading! I love to read and have a lot of time to write in the summer.

2. What is your ideal retirement location (if money didn't matter)? Dunno, but a lot of my friends and family would be there.

3. Do you live in the same town you grew up in? No, I lived in California for 6 or 7 years, then moved to Ohio. I lived in the small town my mom was born in until I graduated from college and have been moving every couple of years since (in North Eastern Ohio). I am moving back to California for a year at the end of this month.

4. What nervous habit did you have as a child that you kicked to the curb before becoming an adult? I still bite my nails and I still worry. I'm less apt to make myself sick a LOT, but I still sort of do. Eeep! Working on the nail thing.

5. What is the most embarrassing thing that happened to you while on the job? Um, maybe when they took pictures of me in my Batgirl costume?

Five Question Friday

Five Crooked Halos is a blog I've recently been clued to, and she's got a really cool thing called five question friday. I've decided to toss my answers into the ring. Won't you?

1. What do you think makes a good friend, or friendship?

Honesty, trust and communication. These are traits that friends will have. These are things that I bring to the table, and that I hope others do as well. I'm not budging on this. I also like people I'm friends with to share interests with me, but also have others that I can learn about. It's important to me to learn about new things.

2. What is the last thing you bought & later regretted?

It was a book that I could get on the Nook... cheaper.

3. Have you ever had a prank played on you?

Yes, I'm sure I have. Nothing springs to mind at the moment, though.

4. What is your favorite theme park?

Disney or Universal. They both are cool for different reasons.

5. Have you ever seen someone else give birth?

I was present for my birth, but have no recollection of my mother havinf me oddly enough, LOL. I think I have seen something in a documentary or those health films they show in school, so sure, I guess I have seen someone else give birth, just not really in person.

Things in Progress Thursday

Thursdays are all going to be about what I'm doing. I've decided. Or, at least, I've decided this week.
Some major projects include:

• Destashing
• Father's day presents
• Birthday presents for a few friends
• Spring cleaning
• Reading Mt TBR and paring down my book collection further.
• Working on submissions for a really cool dt

Can you keep a secret? I did this and it 'might' be related to one of the above list...  ;p
