  4. Your creativity inspires me! I love looking at them! Here are my answers...
    1: I love all songs that are 80's and 90's rock and roll. I seem to be stuck on that right now!
    2: Etsy wish for's...hum...I love bags...big, fun bags. Something girlie since I have 2 boys and lots of boy stuff to go with it.
    3: A diet coke or pepsi WITH lime and hard candies. I also love anything baked but am trying to be good and lose the rest of Kaze around my waist!
    4: My favorite spot in my home is one of my big, comfy loveseats in my front room with a good romantic mystery book and sleeping kids!

  5. I love everything you came up with! You put so much time and thought into this, I'm sure she loves it. What a fun swap!!

    Here are my answers:

    Music I love: I love listening to piano music. It's so calming and soothing. I get so happy listening to those sweet piano tunes.

    Favorite spot in my home: Hmmm...I think I'd have to say our front room because it lets the most light in, and it's my very favorite spot to read and take a quick snooze in the afternoons when the kids are at school. (I hope to resume this activity next week :)

    Favorite go to snack: Pop Secret Homestyle Popcorn and a big cold glass of Crystal Light Raspberry Lemonade. (consumed while I'm reading in my favorite spot ;)

    Things I want from Etsy: I can't decide. I love so many of the bags I see, and of course I love aprons...too many cute things to choose from.

  8. I guess I'll officially come out of "lurkdom" and toss my hat into the ring!

    1. My favorite music is anything that has a fast beat that you can dance to or exercise to. Exercising is about the only time I listen to music.

    2. Etsy wish-fors usually include the jewelry {always so original and pretty!} and usually something made with awesome fabric like a bag or something.

    3. favorite snacks include ice cream, salt and vinegar chips, cheez-its, chips and homemade salsa, and in the summer--caprese {gotta love fresh tomatoes and fresh mozzarella!}

    4. Favorite spot is my bed. This is funny because there's absolutely nothing special on my bed. There's not even a headboard. I've just always loved my bed, ever since I was a little girl. It always made me feel comforted, safe, happy, relaxed.

  9. That girl is lucky to have you as a swapper! Man, you are good.

    music: i'm loving zee avi right now. calm and peaceful. and she's from borneo - just across the water :)

    snacks: fresh fruit, cheese and crackers, smoothies

    etsy: i'm on the search for a good set of living room pillows - there are so many pretty things out there.

    spot: my side of the bed with a good book and the windows open.

  10. 1. Kind of obsessed with Coldplay right now.
    2. Cute stuff for my girls, jewelry, bag, apron, anything really...

    4. Couch chair by my fireplace and my bed! (which is where I really should be right now...)
