Randomly Random....

We get so many wonderful people tagging us, and we really wish we could respond to each one!  However, since that doesn't always work, we decided to put together our own 15 Random Things about us.  To make it even more interesting, we worked on each other's!  Here goes...

1. You have a beautiful mom. I love her favorite color too!
2.So neat you wrote poetry as a child!! Kelsey's room has pink samples on the wall right now..Your perfectionism makes you a good designer.
3.Remember what I said about Rome, and I need to tell you about me and a 'high dive' sometime. I relate! You have great style.
4.I cannot imagine you being coliky! You make everything hilarious!
5.Chips and Queso is the best!(just ate some!)Your photography is very good. I study your pics sometimes trying to figure out "How did she do that???"
Make sure when you go to Texas you eat at Chuy's. Great cheese enchiladas to add to your count!

I enjoyed getting to know you all a little better through this post. Was the picture of Kristie taken when school was finally over this past year?? That's how I look :o)!!

Awww... this was so fun, ladies! I really enjoyed learning more about y'all. :) And thanks for the super sweet comment on my blog! Sorry I haven't been commenting on here lately. Etsy has kept me busy, and I'm loving it! ;)

Many Blessings,

How marvelous to read all of that! I remember when you all lived in Tipton - seems like forever ago - I remember the Atlanta festivals, your superb country style, your collection of red and white enamelware (got me started collecting it for a while), your ability to upholster your own furniture, your beautiful long hair (all of your) with your french braids, and the fact that you were all so sweet! Miss seeing you (but it was great to see you at Betty's party). Thanks for sharing your randomness, but remember, it really is not "random" but very purposeful because it was all given to you in perfect measure by the Lord above!!

By the way, how does one make a MARSHMELLOW COKE?

[Lavender Dreams]

I sure hope you sweet ladies will help me choose the fabric! heehee! There are so many beautiful prints to choose from and I am SO excited! Enjoy your day! Mine is going GREAT! ♥♥♥

I get my marshmallow cokes from South Pole in Tipton... they are THE best! We haven't figured out how to make our own yet. (Hopefully we will sometime!)

This is probably my favorite post thus far. :)
Mrs. Long: You are a great mom! You have done such a good job!

Apphia: I understand about being a perfectionist and the not liking cats thing. Their hair gets on everything!

Achaia: I LOVE anthropology too! I have only been a store once, but I look at the website every now and then. What is a marshmellow coke? A marshmellow in a coke?

Abigail: I have always liked your cloths combinations! :)

Abiah: You are a great photographer! I like Roman Holiday too...I haven't seen it in so long! :)

Have a great day girls!!

That was really neat to learn a little bit more about you dear ladies! *happy sigh*

And all of you have a few quirks I do as well (like cleaning the closet, and basically my entire room!), this was wonderful!

Amy Butlers things are AMAZING!!!! And I LOVE the color purple too! I also tend to sing in the shower, and am a perfectionist as well just to list a few of those things you mentioned! :)

Love and blessings,

Miss Antoinette

PS. I so want to meet y'all and have a sewing day! :)

Brooke!

I'm not exactly sure what's in a marshmallow coke! It looks like marshmallow creme in a regular coke. (And it's definately best with crushed ice!)

love,
Achaia

[Mum]
