I was tagged by
Lorie and Memed by my sweet friend, Katelyn, a LONG time ago so its about time that I return the favor.

You must post the rules before you give your answers.
You must list one fact about yourself for each letter of your middle name.
Each fact must begin with that letter.
If you don't have a middle name, just use your maiden name.
After you've been tagged, you need to up-date your blog with your middle name and answers.
At the end of your post, you need to tag one person. (Be sure to leave them a comment telling them they've been tagged and need to read your blog for details).
A:rtistic. I've always enjoyed the process of repurposing and making something new. I think children naturally tend to repurpose and use their imaginations with objects around them so I guess that part has been nurtured enough to join me in my adult years. I think I have a responsibility to share it and use it to help others enjoy theirs.
L:ovely. This lesson is still a work in progress. Brett bought me a necklace with the definition of lovely in the locket for Christmas one year. It helps me remember.
L:istener. One of my best traits.
I:nternational. Well, I've lived in other countries, learned Chinese, enjoy Thai food, and this letter was hard to match.
S:illy. I had a friend in college that encouraged this part of my personality. We had the best times together. It was so comfortable.
O:ptimistic about fitting into my pre-baby size again since I've doubled my mileage each week.
N:ervous. I get this way around new people and with small talk. I totally get awkward unless you're the 'warm' type.
Consider yourself tagged.
Memed? Not even sure what that means but I used my flickr favorites. So handy.
I really want a room like
this.
I really need one of
these.
Someday, I'd like another
of these.
I want to give away lots of
these.
Everyone should know
this.
I am so happy to have
him.
You've been Memed, too, if you want to play.
Happy long weekend.
This is my attempt at knowing how I'd like to decorate and make purchases for our next home. I need something with a strong sense of style that reflects our family's taste. When you're decorating on a really tight budget, you need a plan so you don't waste money on pieces you don't really like or lose focus of what you really need. I'll be filling it up with images and lists in preparation for the new place. 
Any husband who is willing to hang a pink print on his wall is a keeper. I had to track this one down from the Reform School website and decided to guide Brett towards a 'really good idea for a Valentine's Day gift'. He was all about it. It came in the mail on Wednesday and even though I knew what it was, I wasn't allowed to open it until yesterday. We aren't going to frame it until we move in case it breaks on the way but I am so happy to finally have this print in my possession. 
Next is a pic of my workspace today. A completely lovely mess of pink. I've got some kits to pack and some quilt bits to finish so I'd better get started with the relocating of piles. Have a lovely weekend, ya'all. I'm bound and determined to rent 'Across the Universe' even if its not in the Dollar DVD machine. I don't want to be the last one in the world to enjoy the eye candy. 
Brett caught this one at the table tonight. He's signing 'Daddy'. Love the look in his eyes. 
Snapped this after nap time. A little sneak peek into the shared sleeping space! So far, the curtain is helping. I think its easier for him to go back to sleep without seeing us.
