Questions from Saralyn at studiomaison1. Where are you most excited to travel?I love to travel and want to see as much as I can, but my top choice is still Europe because I love it so much. We are looking at Iceland or Turkey next. I also really want to see Prague! And I wouldn't mind just going back to Croatia.
2. What is your favorite book?The Lords of Discipline, by Pat Conroy. I always recommend this, but no one ever reads it! I couldn't say exactly what it is about it, but I just love this book.
3. What inspires your blog?Travel, photography, style, fashion, neat things that I want to buy... I am a mixed bag when it comes to this blog. I always think I want to have a clear direction, but so many ideas pop into my head it's hard to take the straight road!

8. If money was no object, what would you buy?I would travel everywhere!
9. Who inspires you the most?My friend Colleen really inspires me! She is such a trendsetter and a great person and I love her!
10. What are you looking forward to the most during the holidays?Everyone loves Thanksgiving so much, but I prefer Christmas. I just love all the music and seeing friends and family and parties and food and lights! I really like the lights.
11. How did you get started blogging?Speaking of Colleen, she started a blog a few years back and I decided to as well as a way to keep in touch. We both gave up for a while, but I decided in the spring to try and keep mine going. There is such a great community of bloggers and so many potential opportunities! I love connecting with people, so I've kept it up: )
