New Girl Friday Team Announcement + Prizes!

 So did everyone see "the announcement" at the CAS-ual Fridays Challenge blog? Be sure to check it out if you haven't. There are quite a few changes going on. Very exciting!! Today, Michele is announcing the next 3 designers of the new CAS-ual Fridays team. Since I'm posting about this today, you may guess that I'm one of the designers. And you would be right : )

I'm very thrilled to stay with CAS-ual Fridays and play in the new format! Like the last team, I know that this team will turn out some amazing, pin-worthy work, challenge after challenge. Feel free to read the Q&A below, and leave a comment ... Michele is going to choose a random commenter from each of the nine Girl Friday's blogs to win a CFS stamp or Fri-Die of your choice!

1. How long have you been a cardmaker, and how were you first introduced to it? 
Like so many others, I got started with a Stampin' Up! party at a co-worker's house. That was way back in 2000. Here's the card I made at that party : ) Check out the raffia, inking around the edges, and my initials/date on the front ... all things I haven't done in awhile. However, I was surprised to find some old things that are new again, like vellum, ink spatters, and selective coloring of one image

2. What color are your toenails painted right now?  
Oh how embarrassing ... I am so bad at taking care of the non-essentials. They are a worn-off shade of bronze. I will spare you all, and instead share a photo from when my toenails were painted in the Spring (I'm the toes in blue on the bottom). This was from a girls weekend with my high school friends. Even though we're a long way from high school, we still get together in a different city each year for the weekend.  

 
 
3. If your family locked up your crafty supplies for an entire month, what would you do instead? Cry?!? No, I'd probably get a heck of a lot of things done. I have a TON of wonderful flea market treasures that I'd like to refinish. Here are some goodies awaiting attention in my garage. The two cast iron folding chairs from the 1910's have been stripped and repainted white, and now the seats just need to be recovered. The wooden headboard against the wall is destined for something great ... I just need to figure out what that is! I would love to turn the round, wooden wheel laying on its side into a spinning photo display (that one would definitely take some thinking to pull off).
  

 
4. Favorite thing to order at Starbucks: 
Please don't think I'm strange, but I've only been to Starbucks 2-3 times. I'm not a coffee drinker, so I ordered flavored hot chocolate on those occasions. Speaking of, I tried the Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate at Dunkin' Donuts last week after sledding with the boys. DE-lish! Unless you're opposed to drinking chocolate bars. Then you probably wouldn't like it much : )



5. You've reached your destination but just as you are turning your car off, a song comes on the radio and you are sooo happy to hear it that you sit in your car until it's over(singing along is optional *wink*). Name that song:  
I will stay in the car for ANY Green Day song. Here's a picture of me (far right) and two of the best neighbors you could ever ask for at the Uno, Dos, Tre concert from last year. My throat was sore the whole next day. Singing along with Green Day is definitely NOT optional. At all.


 
Thanks so much for stopping by!

PS. it just hit me how strange it is to have photos of an old card, toe nails, flea market treasures, Dunkin' Donuts, and the Green Day Concert all in the same post. Great set of random questions from Michele!
