Fascinating Amanda facts:)

favorite color -- anything bright.... I'm an Auburn girl, so maybe War Eagle orange!


favorite team -- uhhh, I think I just answered that -- early bird gets the worm....

one food forever??? Hmmmm...... maybe homemade chocolate chip cookies with oatmeal right out of the oven..... I'm smiling right now just thinking about it.

party trend you are crushing on -- Weird, maybe, but the first thing that comes to mind is the trend for so many women to be "into" parties. I don't really know anyone personally who loves a beautiful detailed party like I do, so the internet and all my bloggy party girls are a my crush, I guess. I love clicking around and seeing all the creativity out there. It's so inspiring!

So "Over" party trend -- anything commercialized to death. I have no need for Party City in my life.

Favorite aisle in the craft store -- Well, you might be asking the wrong girl. I am a do-it-your-selfer in every since of the word (I think it stems from my penchant for not spending money)..... so I do just about everything myself. I guess it would depend on the day and the project.... Hobby Lobby still revs up my engine every time I walk in!

Do I wear Uggs? No, not Uggs.... but I do have maybe 4 pair that look like Uggs.... and they pretty much are on my feet from the time I feel the first chill in the air til Spring Break. I love them!

Do I really exercise? -- Uhhh, you caught me! Does thinking about it count?? I'd love to but starting a new business means new priorities. Maybe one of these days real soon I'll put myself on that priority list, but for now it's ALL PARTIES ALL THE TIME!

Minivan??? Been there, done that. Nope, I love my Expedition.... a party girl's dream! The back seats are electronic and fold down with a press of a button!

Favorite holiday? At Halloween, I say Halloween. Then Christmas comes, and I'm swept up in the whole holiday hoop-la! I love it, and I love how excited my kids get about it.

Favorite smell? Gardenias -- reminds me of growing up in Mississippi and our huge wooded yard that I played in every day with my friends. Amazing how smells bring back memories!

Color my Hair? On occasion, although again, starting your own business usually means sweats and ponytails.... there haven't been too many trips to the beauty salon lately!

Do I think I'm cool? You know, I don't think it really matters what I think.... my kids actually say I am (or at least they do when they want a piece of candy!) So that's a pretty good statement of cool, I guess.
