This was new to me, so if it's new to you... I recently received a blog comment that I had been linked to a post on another blog. I dutifully clicked on the link and found I'd been tagged to answer four questions. This was kind of fun, as it introduced me to an admirer through their blog as well as three other blogs that she'd tagged. It's a way for me and you to discover something about 4 bloggers I admire as well if I can come up with some clever and interesting questions of my own.
Nico Designs asked these Four Questions:
1. If you were given $1,000 how would you spend it?
I wouldn't spend it right away. I'd want it to be for some tools I've been dreaming about getting like a rolling mill. Of course I'd need to save up or hope for more money for that.
2. If you could be in someone else's shoes for the day who would it be and why?
I'd like to spend the day in my Dad's shoes so I could better understand things that happened in my childhood and what demons he has had to deal with.
3. Books or magazines?
I know it's probably cheating, but I have to say both. I've been a book lover since childhood and although I do now have a kindle to save trees on novels, I still buy reference books for my very large jewelry and mixed-media art library. Kindle is just too perfect for taking along on vacations or grabbing for that wait in the doctor's office.
I apparently inherited the magazine gene. My Aunts and Dad love to get magazines and I do as well. To me getting a new issue of a favorite magazine in the mailbox is akin to finding your best friend is free to spend a weekend away with you... and you've both been given $1000 to spend as you wish!
4. What skill/craft would you like to learn?
Watercolor painting... This was a class I wanted to take with my Aunt Nancy. She was a talented artist, but she'd never done watercolor. We talked about taking the class together when she got back home from the hospital and recovered from her cancer. I'd not known she wanted to learn it until then. Sadly she never made it home. Strangely I haven't thought about it since. I guess I connected that desire with her and buried it. (no pun intended! Wouldn't that be ghastly inappropriate?!) I'm going to look into this and take a class for us both. Maybe I can channel some of her talent!
Now, for four questions of my own:
- If you could take a trip anywhere in the world, where would you go and what would you want to see and/or experience?
- What is your favorite craft tool and why?
- White or dark meat?
- What do you wish you invented?

5 thoughtful impressions:
Wow, Janet!! Thanks for tagging me! I'm honored!! I've always been fascinated by watercolor too (if somebody forced me to paint that would be the medium I'd choose!) And what a thoughtful answer about your Dad. That would be extremely helpful, wouldn't it? A grandparent would be really enlightening too. OK, hopefully I'll get a blog post up on these, and four new questions, in the next couple days! Thanks again!
Ooooo! How exciting! Okay, here goes:
1.) If I could take a trip to anywhere in the world, strangely, as much as I love learning about the world, it would probably be somewhere close to home...in the U.S. I mean. I would love to go to Hawaii. There's something about the ocean, ocean breezes, fragrant flowers and good food that really appeals to me!...Not to mention that people in Hawaii can appreciate a big girl for who she is without judgement! LOL {FYI, that's why I didn't say California, meaning no disrespect to Californians. But people are waaaaay too body conscious there for me, more so than being "person" conscious! I'm just saying!...And then again I could be just trying to protect my turf!!! ^_^}
2.) My favorite craft tool is, without a doubt, my crochet hook. In particular, a large wooden crochet hook! I've used it so much until the size and where it was made has totally rubbed off of it! I'm not even sure what size it is because I can't remember what it was in the first place! ^_^ I just know that it works perfectly to make my scarves. {Second being my ink pen...for obvious reasons! I do like to talk!!! ^_^}
3.) This may be a snub to my drumstick chicken-part eating Southern Georgia roots, but I am definitely a white meat girl! White meat chicken, turkey, and fish!! And I even like white meat pork, of the tenderloin variety! {But I'm not sure if that's a legitimate white meat...Just legitimate enough for me!! :-]
4.) I wish I had invented the camera! With all of the blog pictures and gorgeous photos in Twitter avatars and shopping online websites, I'd be a zillionaire by now!....a white meat eating, Hawaii dwelling, wooden hook crocheting zillionaire at that!!! ^_^
This was fun! Thanks for letting me play along!! :-)
Debbie - Hawaii is wonderful! You two should definitely go. Actually you're probably right about southern CA, but northern CA is more about accepting everyone no matter what you may perceive as a difference. Seriously, there are so many beautiful places in northern CA (forget southern.. we don't even like Southern!) like San Francisco, Monterey Peninsula, Yosemite, Napa and Sonoma counties, etc., etc. Diversity reigns!
How did I know you'd go with crochet hook? LOL!
I'm a white meat girl, too. : )
Janet, *Teehee*...Yeah, how did you know about the hook thing?! ^_^ And thanks for the info on 'Northern' California. Good to know!!!...Thank you so much. It was fun!
Janet I wanted to thank you so much for your lovely comment and for adding me to your blog roll. I am so honored. Have a wonderful weekend. See you soon
