25 things about me...

2.  I always wanted a baby with Dan's dimples & Lydia's the first to show hints of them

3.  Green is my favorite color {Collin & Evan's too}

4.  I love antique furniture, especially pine that has old paint in cool colors

5.  Idea books & magazines are a weakness of mine... they get my creative juices going

6.  I've had my work published in a few magazines & would really like to have the time to submit more

7.  I am a horrible decision maker

8.  I could live on ice cream alone.... oh & mom's cinnamon pie crust

9.  One of my favorite things to do is to have heart to hearts with Collin {he's quite the sensitive guy}
