My answers to Kimmys questions:
Why did you start blogging? I started because I wanted to hop on the project365 bandwagon about 3 years ago. I quickly fell off the bandwagon, but realized I loved writing and sharing tutorials.
• Any advice for someone just starting? Jeez, I read so many 'blog advise' pages that I got overwhelmed. So just write what you love.• Tips on blog photography? Quality over Quantity every time.• Best post you’ve written so far? This tutorial on toilet paper wall art went crazy viral and is still one of the most popular posts on craftgawker. Crazy!• What keeps you motivated? So many ideas in my head, I have to get them out somewhere! But sometimes that isn't enough, so goal setting and a calendar are the only way I can squeak out posts sometimes.• How do you relax when you feel overwhelmed? reading, watching friends reruns over and over, bubble baths. Creatively I get overwhelmed often so I need to unplug from the overwhelming amount of awesome stuff out there on blogs and Pinterest by just creating my own stuff in my own space.• Something new you want to learn? I really want to learn to quilt. Its my last dying wish to snuggle up under a cute yet modern quilt I made...• A goal? To be on the Project Life creative team• Something that has inspired you today? The weather! It is creating perfect conditions for great photos, outdoor adventures and cozy weather to craft • Best thing you’ve actually made your self? Probably my USA Roadtrip scrapbook, it was the best experience of our lives and I love having it commemorated!
