q&a answers part III

I'm back with my part III and the last part to my q&a series. This has been so fun letting you know more about ME. Thanks to all who joined in!

Sharstin asks "What is your favorite book"?

I am not much of a reader, is that bad? For the past two years the books that haven't left my bedside table are "What to expect when you are expecting" and "What to expect the First Year". Raw and to the point but so brutally honest. I swear by them! Must have gift for a new momma!

Lee asks "Where do you draw inspiration from for your projects like your wrap bracelets"?

This question is very similar to the first one I answered here, but for my creations specifically, I just go with what I would like. I love browsing fashion magazines and drawing inspiration that way too. I call it my "research".

Val asks "Where did you meet your hubby and what are your dreams for the future"?

Believe it or not, my hubby and I were neighbors. Chris grew up about an hour and a half away so his company would put the commuters up in an apartment during the week. My sister and I happened to live upstairs! We were FRIENDS for the first 6 months or so and he helped me through the loss of a friend. His compassion for others and gentle spirit captured me. The rest is history.

As for my dreams, I hope to add to my little family and TRAVEL. I know that sounds nuts with babies but I hope to sneak away to Europe with my hubby at some point. I'd love to take my kiddies with me too though for the culture.

Jesse asks "What is your favorite thing about living in California"? "And if you could live anywhere else where would it be"?

I joke with myself because I am the epitome of a California girl. Blondie hair and all. I've been born and raised within a 15 mile radius (way to branch out LINDSAY), so truly I know nothing different. One thing I love more than anything though is the beach.  I live 15 minutes from Malibu and nothing makes me happier than a summer day at the beach. It rejuvenates me. Pre baby, NYC was my dream place to live. That place is magical. My hubby and I are heading there right after Christmas to spend New Years in times square and I can hardly wait. Chris has never been and I can't wait to show him the city. For now I am so content where we live. A part of me would love to try out some time in the beautiful midwest though. You midwesterners know how to live! ;)

Renae asks " I just love all the girlie things you make, however do you think your inspiration would be different if Landyn so happened to be a boy? Would you have wanted to make more things for little boys... I really can't put a flower hat/headband on my lil boy :) Everything you create is so beautiful".

This is another great question. You know I have had multiple requests for boy items so this is definetly in the works. I am so girly at heart so it's hard for me to picture even being a "boy" momma. I am sure I would come up with something though! Landyn has absolutely been my inspiration behind Lee La La though. 

THANK YOU ALL for playing along with me! If you missed any part of my q&a series here are the previous posts.
