[bk1]

1: Favorite Color(s):
Green! and probably purple


2: Least Favorite Colors:
I guess orange. I don't really have a color I dislike.


3: Favorite Candy/Junk Food:
All of it. Chocolate is always good. Kit Kats, Twix, anything caramel. 


4: Do you have pets/Favorite Animal?
Two dogs and an asshole turtle. We seriously call Ed (the turtle) an asshole cause he is always trying to bite us. The dogs are awesome tho. My favorite animal is ferrets. I had one growing up and DH and I had one until she got cancer


5: Favorite Genre of Reading:
Young Adult Fiction


6: Hobbies:
Scrapbooking, sewing, baking, cooking, hiking


7: Would you like a Christmas Tree Ornament? Yes! I would love one.


8: Anything people should stay away from? (ie- “No candles because scents make me sick” etc.)
Anything floral scented. I get headaches from it. Fruity scented/most fall scents are good.


9: Would you appreciate something homemade such as baked goods or a knit object?
For sure! I love homemade things. 


10: Do you have an Elfster Wish List People should check out?
I will get around to making one.




I will add, I collect tshirts from places. I always get a shirt while traveling. DH still brings me back shirts when he travels. So anything local/state shirts/etc would be awesome. I usually just bought one at Wal-mart. Regular t-shirst (not girl fitted ones, I don't wear much fitted stuff) in a large (belly doesn't wanna fit in a medium so much anymore ) would be awesome!!

bk1 do you like duplicate shirts, or just ones from new states? What states do you still need?

Eta: I don't know who will have you. I was just curious to know

I am fine with duplicates!

I have:

State Shirts:

North Dakota
New York
South Dakota
Utah

Local (other state shirts)
Illinois - a random country bar shirt! lol
Iowa - Just town name shirt
Texas - another bar shirt
Missouri - cabin site shirt
Nevada - Las Vegas shirt

I also have a shirt from France! One of my friends lived there for awhile and she sent me a shirt.


I know there are more, but that's what I found in my closet. I swear the majority of my clothes are college shirts, state shirts, and shirts from DH's work. I have at least half a dozen shirts from his work. 



ETA: again this is why I don't post in OOTD much. Most the time I have on tshirt and jeans or shorts

I haven't done this yet but I will....but, do we want to sticky this so everyone can reference it? I know how people feel about stickies though so if everyone would rather just bookmark it that's cool too!

[estrellita]

HoneySpider I think a sticky would be a good idea for this! That way it's easy to find for those participating.

[travelbug]

Oo, something new. What is a sticky? Lol
