I met Amanda a while back through a group of bloggers I follow. Her blog is so fun and I am addicted to her Instagram feed! She did a post over spring break titled "Sunshine Awards"
and she invited me to participate. I am a bit of an odd blogger, I
guess...I am not into "growing" my blog and having a bazillion readers.
I always intended to keep it small, family and friends. I have enjoyed
getting to know a few people through various blogging networks though!
The way the Sunshine Awards work is a bit reminiscent of an old fashioned chain letter...you answer some questions and then ask others to answer some questions. I'm a bit of a fuddy duddy in the chain letter department and I don't know 11 other bloggers to tag, but I'll play along and answer the questions for fun!!
2. My dream job is to be a children's board game tester...seriously!
3. When I am working on a big project I always hit a point where I want to throw the whole thing away and forget about it. When I push through that point I feel a huge sense of satisfaction.
4. I like to pretend I am an artist...
5. 5 years in Alaska and I still love the snow!
6. I love books and used book stores.
7. My other dream job would be to run a coffeshop/bookstore/fabric store.
8. At least once a week I wake up in the middle of the night and have to read to fall back asleep.

10. My camera is my third child.
11. If I were rich I would hire a maid to mop, dust, and change the sheets on the bunk beds. All other chores I don't really mind.

Since I can only pick one I'll be really broad...Europe!

To keep friends and family up to date when we moved from Washington to Alaska.
