Guess what? The 2012 Summer Olympics are coming soon and we are so excited! To help get in the spirit of the Olympics and to add a bloggy spin of our own we will be hosting a
6 week Bloggy Olympics!
There will be 17 different blogs participating over
 6 weeks and 6 events from June 9th- July 21st.
 Each week 3 blogs will share a simple tutorial that you can copy or will get you thinking about that event’s theme. At the end of the week they will host a 3 blog linky party for you to link up your finished event projects. And of course there will be features, giveaways, and fun Olympic stuff!
The Opening Ceremony begins Thursday, June 7th and runs until Friday, June 8th at midnight.

HERE IS MY OLYMPIC INTERVIEW:
Birthdate:   May 29 (A true lady never tells her age, or so my mother has always told me)      
Birthplace:   "Pepsi"cola, FLORIDA     
Hometown:   Um-ah-er...I moved to Kansas when I was 3 weeks old. YUUUUP, I am a DORTHY. But then I moved to IOWA where I resided until I graduated college. So maybe I am now a PORK QUEEN. Of course I have now lived in GOOD OLE' MO for over 10 years. So you all can pick!     
Residence:    Oh you are gonna love this. At least I do every time I get this question...I now live in BS,MO! NO, really! I cannot make this stuff up! It makes me giggle every time!!!  
Height:     Good question! I have always been 5'10" However, at my annual physical this year the nurse told me I was 5'8" Hmmmm, either she was too short to actually see the numbers or I am shrinking!           
Olympics:            2012
Event:       Fabric- I am going to rock your socks off! I have kinda decided that fabric is a passion and seeing what kind of creations I can make with it and pushing the out side of the box. This year, I won 2nd place in the Simplicity Pattern Company's Costume Contest. Wanna know what blew them away? I SPRAY PAINTED SATIN! 
 Who is your biggest fan?  My hubba-hubba! Sappy I know but it is true! He loves me and knows how passionate I am and supports everything little crazy whim. He is my Prince Charming
 How do you think people will remember you?   Dude- seriously? People are gonna remember that I am FROGulicious!!
•What do you do in your spare time that isn’t blogging? I have 4 kids I don't have spare time.
•What are you really bad at that you would love to be good at? Time Management/Organization (I know, no big secret there)
 What are the main lessons you’ve learned in life? Life is short and unpredictable, cherish every moment and everyone in the moment.
 What is your greatest challenge in this event? Balancing on the HIGH WIRE
 What tips do you give to a beginner starting out in this event? Have fun and make friends. Go outside your comfort zone...YOU WILL BE AMAZED AT WHAT YOU CAN DO IF YOU PUT YOUR MIND TO IT!

  2. I came over through the links on the Blogger Olympics since I had never been to your blog before. I had to say hi!! I like knowing that there are other bloggers from Missouri... I always seem to find blogs I like from Texas, Arkansas, and Utah! Can't wait to see all the projects.
