New Feature: Meet You on Monday :)



Hello, all!  So…new thing today! For a while now, I’ve wanted to do something a little more personal and a little more discussion-friendly.  I’ve also often thought how fun it is that we interview all the wonderful authors---wouldn’t it be fun to know more about each other, too! So I’m starting Meet You on Monday.  I’m going to be posting a fun question or subject (sometimes book related, sometimes not!) and of course, answer it myself here.  Feel free to answer in the comments or grab the banner and do your own post! If you do, be sure to link me in the comments so I can come “meet” you, too!

To kick it off, here’s a little about me in one of my favorite ways to interview the authors I have visiting Stories & Sweeties:

10 Random Facts About Me! :)

I may love YA books, but I’m no teenager. Far from..we’ll just leave it at that. :)

My dream is to someday have my own children’s bookstore and cupcake shop and call it…what else?...Stories & Sweeties.

Happily married for years and years and forever. 3 kids, 2 dogs, 1 super fuzzy kitty.

I love tea, especially when it’s with cream and scones at a fancy tea house.

Before book blogging, I designed digital scrapbooking supplies. Most of the designs on my blog (the background, the cupcake button, etc) carries over from that hobby!
 
I hate spiders.  HATE. THEM.  Can't even look at the books with the close-up photographs of them without shaking.

I love purple.  Probably 80% of my wardrobe is purple in some way.  And I can't even tell you how many shades of purple nailpolish I own. 

A year and a half ago, my husband told me not to watch Doctor Who because he didn’t think I’d like it. Wrong. I adored it. Even went as the Tardis last Halloween. It's snowballed into a general obsession with British television: Sherlock, Catherine Tate show, Top Gear, Downton...love it all. My son's teacher told us he often breaks into a pretty convincing British accent.  Oops :) 

5 years ago I was diagnosed with CML, a chronic form of leukemia.  And every day, I kick it's arse. ;)
  
I am quite possibly the world's worst gardener.  But I never give up.  My hubby has taken to apologizing to plants when I put them in my store cart.


SO that's all pretty random :D  What about you?  Have any random facts you'd like to share about YOU?
