Okay, so I was tagged by Snow Angel Designs , a girl who makes really cute dolls that I came in contact with on Flickr. She has an Etsy shop too. I have to post 5 random things about myself. The game is....get tagged and post 5 random facts about yourself and tag 5 others. Make sure you include why you tagged them. You also have to make sure to post a comment on their blog to let them know they've been tagged.

Ready for the randomness, here we go!

1. I use to take figure skating lessons as a girl, but I had to stop because I had asthma. Well, it wasn't the asthma really, it was the cold ice that aggravated it and made me catch pneumonia. I was 7 and crushed when my parents told me I couldn't do it anymore. So, I guess I'll never be the next Michelle Kwan.

2. One time when I was about 13 my friend came over and we made a HUGE batch of chocolate chip cookie dough. Did we make a million cookies? Nope. We ate the dough, with big glasses of milk! Why make the cookies when eating the dough is so much fun. It just seemed the logical thing to do once we were both white from head to toe after our monumental flour fight. And hey, we didn't even get sick from eating all that dough. So now I never listen to people that say you shouldn't taste the dough or the batter because of the eggs. They just don't know what they're missing.

3. I love music that moves me. When you can feel something inside of you swelling with the music. There's just something about having a song touch you so deeply you feel it in every part of you. Songs that do this to me: Nessun Dorma from the opera Turandot (I love that little clip by the way), Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings Op. 11, Morten Lauridsen's O Magnum Mysterium (make sure you click the right song), Rachmoninoff's 18th Variation of a Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini (only the first half of this clip though), John William's theme from Schindler's List, Puccini's O Mio Babbino Caro, and many more.

4. I didn't have one drop of alcohol until I was 21 years old. My first drink was on my 21st birthday where my hubby (then boyfriend) took me out to a wonderful restaurant (Italian of course!) and I got to take out my new licence and everything. A friend recommended a red wine, which was AWFUL, so I sent it back and got a nice white wine instead. That tasted much better. I still don't really like red wine, but I like whites, blushes, and of course champagne rocks my socks.

5. I'm really into interior decorating. I love that we have a house that needs fixing up, because now I get to plan it all out. I mean, I have no money right now, but once we save, I can't wait to renovate. I've already got the bedroom plans completely set, and that should be the cheapest room to do. Next is the bathroom, I have the plans for that almost finished. That will be really cool, because it's a total bathroom renovation for under $1000, that even includes tile and supplies, paint, stain, towels and rugs, mirrors, lighting, a jacuzzi tub, and all kinds of other goodies. It'll be my spa retreat before I know it. Now I just have to save for it and get to work!


Okay, on to the people I'm tagging:

1. The first person I'm tagging is aPunkinCardCompany. She makes the most beautiful cards. I bought one for my hubby for our anniversary last month, and she was the first person to buy a monkey from my shop. So she's extra special!

2. The next person is Slumbergirldesigns. She makes really cute pajamas that are oh so comfy. I got a pair of shorties like these, except mine are pink. If you want some really cute and comfy pj's, she's your girl.

3. The third person I'm tagging is Fribbles. She's a girl I first found out about on Deviant Art, and her bears are so amazing! She's a bear artist who makes most of her creations 3 inches and under. They're just beautiful, and I found out she made an etsy shop too!

4. Next up is TheDancingNeedle. She makes lots of embroidered labels, bags, and other beautiful things. She's such a sweety, and her shop is definitely worth a 'lil looksee. If you are lucky enough to get to know her, you will be lucky indeed.

5. Alright, we've made it to the end of the list. And the last person I'm tagging is.....(drum roll please).........Binageyer! She makes lovely jewelry on etsy. I really adore her dangly earrings. She's very creative, and her jewelry goes fast, so check back often for new things before they're all snatched up.

Okay all done! That was fun. I hope all the people I tag enjoy the game too!
