Blog Feature: Jamie

1. Tell us about yourself!
Hi, awesome people!!! I'm Jamie and I'm 31 years old. I work all day in my office at a law firm with lots of boring paper (unfortunately, not the cute 12x12 kind!), while daydreaming of the next thing I'd like to make or do. When 5p.m. rolls around, I head home for an evening with my wonderful husband, amazing boys and creating. (& most likely reality tv)

2. What kind of crafts (or other hobbies) are you into right now?
I just learned to crochet this past Saturday so I can see that becoming quite an addiction! I love to embroider, art journal, make fabric jewelry with fun fabric (yoyos and the like), create mini albums, scrapbook (tho it's been wayyy too long since I've scrapped), making fun decor for our home and I have quite an addiction to fingerknitting and making lots of garlands!

3. What are some of your current obsessions?
Owls! Yarn! Weight Loss! Reality tv! Crochet! Garlands! Fixing up our home! Happy Mail!

4. What is one of your crafty goals (or other goals) for 2010?
I did a whole post on my 20 goals in 2010 but my biggest goals are to lose weight while raising awareness for MS (my Shrinking for a Cure project).
I also want to crochet a granny square quilt, sew a quilt and read the Bible all the way through, to name a few of those 20 things!

5. What makes your blog special and why should we read it?
Well, I'm told that I'm a positive and encouraging person that inspires others. I love coming up with creative things to do with my boys so we can have family time and have a blast doing it (such as adventure nites and random treasure hunts around our house). I love to create as much as possible and always share my creations on my blog, along with funny stories of the everyday. Every Wednesday, I feature an Inspired Wednesday post with some inspiration for your day. I also feature Shrinking Saturdays where I share my weight loss progress for the week.

I'm also the creator of Happy Mail and have that blog as well. Participants sign up and get the name of somebody else to send them happy mail. Then they receive mail from somebody else as well. I love happy mail. It's nice getting surprises that aren't bills or unhappy stuff!
