Some fun questions for the inquiring minds...

• • • • •

What did you want to be when you grew up?

"An artist! I never really had any big plans, I just wanted to make art. Now I have my own blog, design for multiple companies, been published, and have my own etsy shop! It's a great life! Although at one point I did consider both a scuba diver and a flight attendant. ;)"

Coke or Pepsi???

"Well, I don't actually drink cokes, I'm a tea drinker!
But, I'm from Texas, so I call them all *Cokes*."

What inspires you?

"Colors are my main inspiration, as well as pinterest, books, other artists and nature. I could stare up at the stars all the time and be inspired."

What is the TOP thing to do on your "Bucket LIST"?

"Visit Alaska! This is something I've wanted to do since I was a kid and hopefully it will happen sooner rather than later. I also want to see the Northern Lights."

If you could print any phrase

on a T-shirt, what would it say?

"Wow, so many options! You don't actually want me to choose, do you??  I'm a total nerd though, so it would probably be a reference to Star Trek or some other geeky thing. Although I don't have any "crafting" themed shirts so I guess I could do an art themed shirt."

If you could mold ANYTHING with

Amazing Mold Putty, what would it be?

"As I mentioned before, I'm a tea drinker!
It might be neat to make little tea cups!"

What style of music gets your creative juices going?

"My music tastes are a bit all over the place. My *favorite* music to listen to while I create would have to be film scores, like the sound tracks for epic movies like Star Trek, Lord of the Rings, etc. However I also love 60's, 80's, Classical, Techno, Musicals, etc. Like I said, I like a bit of everything, except maybe country."
