You guys!  Guess what!?  I am super happy to be sitting "on the front porch" today sharing a bit more about myself!  Ok, I am not sitting on MY porch, I am actually sitting on my Porch Swing...but what I really mean is that I am over here, on the Porch site sharing a little bit more about myself, and you won't want to miss it!

They asked me 16 fun and crazy questions that you definitely want to read!  I am revealing my BIGGEST DIY FAIL EVER along with what SONG would be the SOUNDTRACK to my life...hint...it is not what the random survey I took told me it was. :/  I am also sharing the STRANGEST DECORATION that I have in my home and a hint as to one SECRET project I am working on RIGHT NOW!  Really!  You get all of that scoop today!

It was a ton of fun to answer all these questions, and I hope it allows you to get to know me a little bit better.  I am sharing the second half of the questions on my blog but be sure to hop on over to the Porch HERE to see the first 8 questions answered!

9.  If your life were a song, what would it be?

​That's a great question!  I didn't have an answer to it so I took a "quiz" to find out.  I mostly clicked pictures of funny cats so needless to say the answer was not at all accurate.  Honestly, I love music, I almost always have a song stuck in my head.  But it changes constantly from alternative to county to classical to Broadway, it's hard to pick just one.  But I really do like Happy by Pharrell Williams, because come what may, I really am happy!  I think that song describes me best.

10.  Pinterest or Facebook?

Neither.  Instagram!  Just kidding!  I actually am really active on Facebook and Pinterest​.  I love being able to quickly browse through Instagram though to get caught up on my friends.  And I love how pretty and useful Pinterest is!  And I love using Pinterest for my blog!​

11.  If your walls could only be painted one color for the rest of your life, what would they be and why?

​Oh boy this is a really hard question!!  I have had tan colored walls for a really long time!  But I am currently in the process of painting one of my rooms grey (spoiler alert! and maybe my whole house grey later if I can work up the will power to do it!).  But if I had to choose one color, forever....I would probably choose white because it can give a space such a beautiful crisp feel.   It is such a nice, clean look.  And the other decorations in the room can be easily changed to any colors I desired to change my look often without needing to repaint!

Actually...I think I just talked myself into painting my walls white...  ​

12.  What are you exceptionally good at? (Permission to brag)

​I am good at finding joy in all circumstances.  No matter the trial I have faced I have always been able to see how truly blessed I am and I am able to find the good in all things.

13.  What’s the weirdest thing you’ve collected?

​Honestly, I don't collect things.  I like to purchase things that have meaning or value, but I don't have any collections.  And I don't like a lot of clutter so I tend to throw things away that don't have meaning to them.  Maybe that makes me weird, that I don't have a collection.  ​

14.  Show us your best project for a DIY beginner!

​  Oh this Industrial Ampersand Decor is so easy to make but looks amazing!  It is simple, quick and cheap!

15.  What’s a home trend you hope doesn’t exist in 100 years?

​That bigger is better.  I personally believe that a home does not have to be large or decorated professionally to be a comfortable home and a great place to live an amazing life.

16.  Favorite words to live by?

​Have I done any good in the world today?  That is a question I love to ask myself regularly.  I love to be a good friend, listen to others and find ways to serve those around me.  I find great joy in serving!
