Read all about her and then go visit her blog and say hi!
What did you have for breakfast this morning?
OK, I'm going to be totally honest here. Lately I haven't been waking up as early as I'd like. I don't know if I'm seasonally depressed or just still in transition from the recent move (CA to IN), but I sleep until at LEAST 11am each morning. I can't believe I'm admitting this over the Internet! Eek! So, my "breakfast" is actually lunch and usually consists of a can of Spaghettio's or leftovers from the night before. My extended family eats out a lot, so there are always quite a few sniglets in the fridge!
I know, I am VERY malnourished.
What is your favorite childhood book?
Hands down, The Little Prince. My grandfather used to read a book of short stories, including this one that he had saved from his younger days. Any time my cousin and I would stay for a sleepover, we'd get to hear him read them in his special voices and dream of sweet galaxies far away!
What is your favorite work of art?
Oh goodness. This is a rough one for me. I love works of art that are ever-evolving and transitioning into something that sort of transcends what it was originally designed to be. The 'You Are Beautiful' project is like that for me. A beautiful work of art that is both meaningful and brilliantly executed. I'd say it's a pretty key favorite of mine.

What is your all time favorite quote?
"No great man ever complains of want of opportunities."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What's your favorite super secret website?
I don't think it's a secret necessarily, but one of my favorite sites to check in with is Jennifer Daniel's:

What is your favorite and least favorite chore?
Oh gosh. Any and all. I am the laziest gal on the planet. If I had to choose my favorite, it'd be organizing my bathroom shelves [I LOVE to organize!]. Least favorite? Everything else.
What makes your house uniquely your home?
I have a lot of personal touches throughout my home--- a proposal post-it, an old fountain pen, a rotary telephone... things that have been given to me by people I love. I also adore mixing styles and patterns that are unusual and surprising. My theory on curation and decor is that if I love it, it matches!
Will you share a favorite recipe?
Uh-oh. I'm not a recipe kind of gal. Take-out?
What first sparked your interest in cooking?
I have zero interest of cooking, so I'll talk about writing instead. ;) The first day I became interested in writing [other than journaling] was a rainy day (of course!) and I wrote an entire manuscript in one day. I couldn't put the pen down. I was 14.
What homemade project are you most proud of?
Last year I vowed to have a 100% complete handmade Christmas, and a friend and I got together to design postcard sets for a list of 100 friends/family. They turned out beautifully using old encyclopedia pages [there's got to be a copyright law that we've broken somewhere along there] and modern typography. We were so proud!
What are your 3 best/favorite posts on your blog?
I love any post from my "Reader's Speak" column, which I don't do quite as often anymore for a lot of reasons. But, I'd say these are my favorites:
