Questions From the Nominator: 
1.Why did you start blogging?

 When I retired two years ago, I was finally able to work on many projects that I did not seem to get finished while working.  As I was checking out blogs online, I thought why not start my own and contribute  some of my crafts and ideas.

2. If you could eat lunch anywhere in the world, where would you eat and what would you have for lunch?

That is a tough one, I have traveled to so many places. Probably this small restaurant in London. Can't remember the name, but when I lived there, they made the best fish and chips ever.

3. Who, what, and or where does your blogging inspiration come from? 

Another tough question. Most of the time it comes from me, but I am also inspired from other bloggers. I have always had a creative mind and it never seems to sleep.

4. How do you handle a stressful day? 

When I worked I would have answered this differently, but since I have retired, I can't say that I am stressed. My days are usually so happy.  The only stress I might feel is not having enough time in the day to get everything done.


5. What is one thing you hope your children remember about you? 

That I loved them with all my heart.

6. What is your favorite go to recipe? 

That would have to be my Mexican casserole. It is awesome.

7. What is your favorite quote? 

“The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience.”
― Eleanor Roosevelt (she is one of my most admired people)

8. What project(s) are you working on right now? 

Up-cycling a set of bunk beds into benches, creating garden art, redoing a ladder back chair
