9 Questions For...A Creative Day

I am really excited to kick-off a new little series today called 9 Question For... (I went with an obvious title). The purpose of this series is to connect with some other blogs and swap stories with their authors. Should be fun and encouraging! First up is A Creative Day written by a dear and long-time friend of mine, Eileen! 

     
     1. Your blog and why you started it...

I started my blog way back in 2010 (!Crazy!). I had just started a career in interior design and wanted a way to chronicle my design choices and projects. It's turned into so much more than that now… the blogging community is amazing and supportive and the 'friends' I've made over the past three years have impacted my life in ways I could never have guessed. 

2. The book that has impacted you most in the last year...

I read Blog Inc by Joy from oh joy, and it was a great read. Helped me to refocus and define where I want my blog to go.  

3. The person you forget to thank, and now that you've remembered, what you would say to them...

I think my dad. He’s a rockstar at everything but more specifically I haven’t thanked him for always allowing me to be a part of projects. He let me lay tile and run electrical with him when we worked on our house and that sparked my love of architecture.


4. The movie from your childhood that you loved the most...
The Emperor’s New Groove. Just the best movie ever. I still laugh so hard I cry.


5. Others think it's geeky, but it's awesome...
I have my dad to thank for this as well but classic Sci-fi novels. Not the fluffy new stuff but the classics like Ender's Game Taught me to think and push boundaries.


6. Your blog's darkest moment was when...
Before I knew how to photograph well and resize photos. Some of my early posts are so dark and small… YIKES!


7. The skill you would learn if there were more hours in the day...
Sewing! I wish I knew how but anything more than hem tape scares me.


8. The trend you can't stand...
I don’t like the shabby chic look. Too messy for me.


9. You would like us to pray about...
Joy. God has been teaching me so much about how much bigger He is then my storm and how to have joy in the midst of the storm. ‘In the world you will have tribulation, but take heart, I have overcome the world” John 16:33
