So I don’t have an awesome project today. I know I am lame.
Ha ha ha I love that thing!!!
Instead I have a few questions for you my faithful reader. I have had quite a few emails lately about how to grow a blog. I don’t really have an answer so I thought I would ask you guys.
I am not fishing for compliments, I really want to be able to share info with you guys so that everyone can grow and make sweet friends. Except for question #6……
If you don’t want to answer that’s totally fine, if you do please use constructive criticism and don’t be a jerk. You can answer in the comment section or by email ([email protected])
1. What do you want to see more of on Vintage Revivals?
2. What do you think I can improve?
3. Do you hate giveaways?
4. What type of feeling do you get when you come over to my house in blogland?
5. Why do you read my blog?
6. Do you think I am pretty?
7. How often to you expect me to post?
8. How did you find Vintage Revivals?
And here is the best part.
From now until tomorrow morning when I post again you can ask me ANYTHING. And if its not dirty I will answer. So go ahead whatever you want,
oh and I will feel really bad if there are only 2 questions to answer. Make it fun people!!
Well Personally, I love you and think you are pretty! I seriously have some of these same questions. I only post about once a week so I know that is my first problem. 😉
Blessings~

Hi Mandi! Your blog is one of my favorites. I don’t even know where I found your blog, but it was the Sewing Room Scrap Bedding and I have been hooked since. 😛 I enjoy your creative ideas and style. It’s very refreshing, retro chic. I would love for some more posts on sewing and thrift finds etc. And, YES you are purrrty. Sorry I can’t be more helpful, but I like your blog now. 😛
I read your blog like EVERYDAY!! I think your gorgeous inside and out! I love all your creative ideas. I read your blog because you AWESOME! I also read it because you lift my spirits with all your creativity! Don’t change a thing! 😉
Mandi! I have to tell you, I just discovered your blog on Tuesday morning (2 days ago.) My cousin is Mason Gardner and he told me to check out your blog cuz he knows I love this kind of thing. Anywhoo, let me just say I was in my jammies for a good part of the day while I read through your entire blog, watched your Studio 5 clips, and read your story. You are so freakin’ amazing! I seriously fell in love with you, your projects, and your taste. The first thing I clicked on was your Anthro Teapot lamp… I have been dreaming about it at night now and trying to figure out how I want mine to look. OK, then I saw your Studio 5 clip about your mirror technique. You are too cute! I love your sense of humor. I am seriously sad that I lived in St. George for 5 years and never knew you! I just moved to Idaho Falls 6 months ago, but all my family is still in St. George. The next time I come down, I would love to come see your house! Is that weird? You probably think I am stalking you or something. I promise I’m not crazy, I just can’t believe there is someone else out there with my same design taste and perfectionistic tendencies 🙂 I looked at the other entries for Crafting with the Stars, and nothing came close to your projects. You are so creative! If I ever get the guts to do my own blog, I would love your advice. When did you start your blog, and how much time do you spend in a typical week keeping it up? Did you have a blog mentor to help you? How often do you really go to the DI? Is it worth it? I haven’t been to the one here yet cuz I’ve heard it’s crappy and never has good stuff. Well I better go find my kids and get dressed for the day (see, I think blogging could be addicting for me!) Seriously, you rock and I want to meet you someday. Thanks and keep the “craptastic” ideas coming! – Holly
Hey Mandi! I love your blog and yes I think your super pretty! Unfortunately I don’t believe I have time to make my own blog but I think it was the tin foil side table on better after. I never participate in the giveaways but I certainly don’t hate them! I get excited when I see that you have posted something new and I wonder if I can recreate it. (I think I’m gonna attempt the birch tree branch art but on a bigger scale for my living room)
My question is: where do you draw your inspiration from?
I think your doing a great job.
I would like to see what inspires you… You walk into a store or flip through a magizine what gives you butterflies.. Haha does that make any since? I think you are doing a fantastic job.. obviously! 😉 Giveaways are getting a little annoying. Some blogs have a giveaway like every other post and its getting a little old. When I stop by i’m always excited to see what else your working on. I love your personality and like that your not afraid to show it on your blog. You do make me a little jealous though… I wish I had my own home to make over. anyways I like to read your blog because you have the same interests as I do and you do things I really enjoy doing. Ok I think you are super cute, I like how you’ve been posting everyday, and I found you through A.T.T.

Hi Mandi! I found your blog though U-create (I think it was the bedding) but I have checked it every day since. I love your projects and am amazed by people like you who are not only pretty, but incredibly talented. I don’t mind giveaways, but love your work and sense of humor the most. I want to be more productive around my house (like you), but with a 2 1/2 yr. old and a 1 yr old I find myslf with not enough time. So my question is What’s your typical day like? You know like, What time do you get up? What time do you go to bed? Oh, and what’s your favorite dessert?
You have an amazing blog! and to answer your questions:
1. I wanna see your projects! You have amazing taste, and I love what you’re doing with your place.
2. Honestly, I have no idea! Your blog is great as it is.
3. I don’t join since I live across some huge ocean, but I guess I don’t mind relevant giveaways.
4. Happy.
5. I’m inspired with all of your ideas, and you’re quite funny too 🙂
6. Absolutely!
7. This I don’t know. How often do we really need to post? They say quality over quantity. So I guess at least thrice a week.
8. I’ve been going around blogland and no idea how I came across blogs! Linky parties? Link love?
Hope this helps!
1. Family pictures and posts!!
2. NOTHING, you’re practically perfect in every way.;)
3. No, but I NEVER win…..waaaaaaaa :*(
4. Nothin’ but LOVE and FUN…..and maybe just a little envy and jealousy that you’re so darn CRAPTASTIC and find THE BEST things ever at DI!!!!!
5. Because you inspire me!! I sent you some pics of my mirror wall when I first started following you, did you ever see them? My email was being stupid and I never heard back from you, so I don’t know if you got them.
6. Does Mandi #1 (or is she #2? I forget) have a love affair with power tools and trim?? DUH <3
7. You’re doing great!! Just keep ’em comin’.
8. I honestly don’t remember. I THINK it was somehow through The Frosted Gardner though.
My questions for you:
1. WHERE do you find time to do all you do? SERIOUSLY…this is a serious question! Do you have a set routine to keep things at home under control and set time to be an amazing blogger/crafter/creator? I have so much that I want to do, but can never find time to do it. Winter makes it hard though because I can’t – or don’t want to – sand inside. =/
2. Does it freak you out when weird blog stalkers ask for your address so she can send you junk?????
3. What do you like to eat? What’s your favorite treat?
4. Why do you have to live in St. George? I think you should move closer. =) There are LOTS of nice homes for sale around Mandi and I!!! Really, there are.
5. We all know who the first man on the moon was, but do you know who was the last? (hehehehe, I do!!! We’re geeks like that!)
6. What inspires you?
7. How did you discover this creative zen of yours?
8. Does muriatic acid kill grass? I really want to do some mirrors, but I don’t have an empty lot to rinse the acid off into and you mentioned something about it not being good for concrete……??
9. I want the recipe to your favorite family dinner…..puuuuhlease…..with yellow, gray and white sprinkles on top!!!!
10-12. Are you from St. George? How many siblilngs do you have and what number are you? Sisters or brothers?
Thanks for letting me be nosy and random!! I {HEART} you and your blog!!!!

L.O.V.E this blog. Your “thrift shop glam” movement has given me hope! As a SAHM and wife to a full time COLLEGE STUDENT I had *mostly* accepted the fact that I wouldn’t have anything more than mis-matched DI furniture until Hubs got a real job. Well, NO MORE MISSY! I’m working on a DI couch re-do right now! Well, not right now right now…But I digress. Question time!
A)I found some fab windows last friday(I linked up, better than FREE) But what I want to know is: would you strip and repaint those beauts on account of lead paint, or would you just put them high enough that the kiddos can’t suck on them? Is there anything I can put OVER the awesome oldness to keep it from peeling and dropping lead chips all over my house?
2)My next question is, when you are knee deep in a project does pretty much everything else (laundry, dishes etc) get put on hold? I find it impossible to create in a clean house. Or I guess to leave my project long enough to clean the house.
Lastly) how do you keep little “helpers” from getting into the wet paint, shavings, acid, saftey pins, glue gun, etc? Can you REALLY do a project during just NAP TIME!?
And Finally)Next time I am down south, could I come kiss vicki? Just one little smooch right on her gorgeous glass.
Firstly, I come here because your Thrift Shop Glam movement has given me hope! I had almost given up having matching/coordinating furniture until my husband got a real job and was done with school. I love “Look what I found FRIDAY”
B) I found you via UCREATE
Lastly)I want you to post a new project EVERY DAY, or you could come help me with my couch makeover. Ok, that may not be improving YOUR blog
and Finally, I have a question about my “friday” windows. Should I strip them down and repaint them on account of lead paint issues? Or can I leave them how they are and just put them high enough that no one will suck on them? OR is there something I can put OVER the oldy goodness so It won’t peel and flake lead death all over my house? Also, how to I ShangHai someone into sponsoring my site(One Happy Momma)?
Mandi- I found you through Crafting with the stars, but then realized that I had already been to your blog through a comment you left on mine. Your signature signoff is what tipped me off! I think post as often as you want. I don’t think it needs to be every day though. Give aways are fine, but I like them better if they are personal or relevant to the blog. Of course you’re beautiful- inside and out. My favorite posts you’ve done are when you shared your family’s story- I think it’s probably the most important posts you could possibly have done.
now, question time- 1)are you sure you don’t want to answer dirty questions? No? darn.
2) Networking- especially with larger bloggers- just go for it and risk being annoying?
3)Is it worth it to you? All the time, energy and money that goes into blogging- and what are you hoping to get out of it? Money, fame, lasting notoriety?
I think that’s it.
🙂 love YOUR guts!
xoxo,
Amy
p.s. even though I didn’t make it into Crafting with the stars (which you forced me to try out for) I did make it into American Crafters- so we’ll see how that goes. 😉
1. What do you want to see more of on Vintage Revivals?
I love seeing your before & afters, and I love the Found Fridays. No need to do more, just keep those! I also love posts where people open up, as you ahve done so beautifully and bravely. I think we are hitting a point in blogland where the vanilla life is no longer expected. Folks want to see real and want to know that everything isn’t always running-across-the-hilltop balls happy. So word up on that honey; be you.
2. What do you think I can improve?
Nada. I dig you as is. Not always the best feedback, but I think you’ve got a good thing going.
3. Do you hate giveaways?
Umm, is this a trick question? Who doesn’t love a giveaway? (answer: curmudgeons)
4. What type of feeling do you get when you come over to my house in blogland?
I love your style, so I feel goooooooood.
5. Why do you read my blog?
See 1. I love a good before & after. Also, you have great tutes and an aesthetic that I like incorporating in my own home, so I can get some ideas from you.
6. Do you think I am pretty?
You are sooooooooooooooo pretty.
7. How often to you expect me to post?
Whenevs. Quantity is of no importance to me.
8. How did you find Vintage Revivals?
I think I saw the tree mural on U Create. I know it was that mural, but I don’t remember exactly where I saw it. I loves me a tree mural, as I think I commented when I read your tute.
My questions for you…
1) Does it bother you to read posts by people who swear in their blogs? I swear a lot, and I am not religious. Though I don’t think I go on and on about that in my blog, I know I drop some swear words here and there. Believe me when I say that I tone it way down from my day-to-day conversations, so it’s mild to me, but I don’t know that everyone feels the same. On the other hand, it’s *my* blog and I don’t want to silence my voice & perspective to please the masses… there are plenty of other blogs out there that have marvelous content swear-free. But as someone who seems to toe the line a bit more than I do, what do you think about that?
2) I have a full time day job, so perfect lighting is not something I can always get. While the beautiful pics are what I strive for, how important are beautiful pics vs. clear pics in your opinion? If it’s nighttime and I use my flash, the pic is clear, but it ain’t always purty. That’s more by default than design, but I cannot change the pattern of the sun. Yet.
1. What do you want to see more of on Vintage Revivals? do you do your own upholstery projects ever? even if they are little upholstery projects?
2. What do you think I can improve? nothing from what i can tell
3. Do you hate giveaways? i don’t really get them, i mean where do you get the stuff to give away and how much of a payoff is it for you?
4. What type of feeling do you get when you come over to my house in blogland? that your personality rocks and you are somebody i would totally want to hang out and do a project with, even though my style is a bit less modern, more retro 70’s meets arts and crafts:)
5. Why do you read my blog? because it is confident, friendly and inviting
6. Do you think I am pretty? does it really matter? and yes, i do
7. How often to you expect me to post? whenever you want
8. How did you find Vintage Revivals? i think through U create….
You had me at the anthro mirror tutorial! It was love at first site. The teacup lamp sealed the deal. You are so sweet, funny, and pretty on your TV videos. Wish they would have you on more often. I was moved by your real life story. I love reading blogs that include stories and challenges about their real lives. Nobody lives a perfect life, after all. I guess I’m looking for inspiration in all areas of my life, not just the creating and decorating parts. So, keep it real!
1. What do you want to see more of on Vintage Revivals? I’m really interested in reupholstering. Those projects with the Friday Finds with the old chairs blow my mind! (and I just moved to Japan, and I’ve seen some crazy old chairs…but until now had no idea what to do with them.)
2. What do you think I can improve? …I haven’t seen anything, honestly. 🙂
3. Do you hate giveaways? Heck no! Free stuff. 😉 Do you ship to APO addresses? (basically, the stuff ships USPS to California, and then it goes into military mail from there.)
4. What type of feeling do you get when you come over to my house in blogland? I hope this doesn’t sound lame. But I get that you know who you are and what you want. ..Just the same way the chaos of my decorating reflects that I have no idea what I want. lol!
5. Why do you read my blog? because it’s inspiring and motivating, you make it approachable.
6. Do you think I am pretty? ha ha, yeah
7. How often to you expect me to post? However long between projects. Maybe if it’s a project taking a while, you could post a teaser for us drool over until it’s done.
8. How did you find Vintage Revivals? Blue Cricket Design
Mandilicious…my lovely lady!! I can’t resist you.
1. I don’t care what you do. Because every time I see something you do I think dang she is awesome!! And I can do that.
2.Hum! No improvements but hows that crocheting going?
3.nope I don’t mind giveaways. COME ON who hates free stuff?
4.What sort of feel do I get. JEALOUS!! I really need those magic fingers.
5.I read your blog because it is truly amazing what you can do with crap. You have put a whole new meaning to someone else’s crap is another’s treasure. Another thing is I read “your real life story” It is nice to know that not everyone has that picture perfect life. But you work hard, and work through it. You know lemonade from lemons. I guess you also touched my life because of my own family situation like this. I heart you!!
6.Nope your not. I kid, i kid. I think your gorgeous!! Macho is LUCKY!!
7. Post when you feel inspired to share. NO PRESSURE, you had me the first time I saw your blog. I’ll always be here.
8. If I’m remembering right I found you from a photo of bloggers linked up with Amy {the idea room} *love her*
Where do you find all this stuff and how often do you look? I can never find anything here ugh!!
Acid? Really where did you come up with that?
When did you start with this awesomeness?
What would you call a person that is into Modern and Vintage style?
Oh can I have the secret to amazing Mexican Rice?
Love your guts girl!!
1. What do you want to see more of on Vintage Revivals? I love just seeing what you come up with!
2. What do you think I can improve? um…could you just come over and make my house pretty?
3. Do you hate giveaways? NO!! You would have to be half looney tunes to hate giveaways!!
4. What type of feeling do you get when you come over to my house in blogland? excited
5. Why do you read my blog? I like to hear your personality through your blog.
6. Do you think I am pretty? I LOVE the blonde hair you!!
7. How often to you expect me to post? Expectations are high…since this is what I do when I am bored!! No, seriously. I like it when people post as least once a week, but more often is definately a treat!!!
8. How did you find Vintage Revivals? You know the buttons on the top that say “Next blog”? Usually I just sit here and keep hitting next blog until I find something interesting. And that is how I found you!!
I love your blog the way it is. I wouldn’t change a thing! I love all your projects and sense of humor. I would post whatever you want and however often you want, whether it’s everyday or once every couple of weeks!
I don’t usually enter giveaways but if others like them then certainly go for it. I come here for decorating ideas and inspiration. Oh, and can I tell you how jealous I am of your D.I.? I live in Cedar and whenever I come to your “big city” I have to go check out your D.I. and I am so jealous! Mine is dinky in comparison and your’s has all the good stuff! :0)
you are literally trying to kill me… I told you I get jealous. don’t you go get a new bbfs.
some feedback (oh dang maybe I should switch to anonymous)
I go to ALOT of blogs. VERY FEW SUCKED me in as yours has. there is a reason you are hot to trot…don’t change a thing. ATHING!!!
as for giveaways…I’m reading the others comments also because I’m on the fence about them. I’m sure it’s just what is being given away.
you are gorgeous..i don’t stalk no uglies.
I found you from diy club….so something good came from them!
and really? any questions…this could get interesting. I might have to mull this one over.
to start
shoe size?
I would also like a picture from high school
If you could marry one inanimate object what?
favoritest actor and actress
(this isn’t suppposed to be about thrift store crap is it?)
whatever you do please, please please don’t go all giveaway obnoxious… some blogs that i use to love to read now i don’t read at all because i got sick of all the giveaways and it felt like said blog was just enjoying endorsing whatever came along because they were paid or whatever. it’s annoying when every post is a giveaway… that’s all i’m saying. but giveaways every now and then of something you genuinely love are awesome!
just my two cents.
i love your blog as is and wouldn’t change a thing!
Mandi!!
I want to grow my blog…but I just don’t have the energy:) I applaud you for having the energy – you are awesome. So I have been thinking about this for a while – take it or leave it… I inherited these cool porcelain lamp shade thingies. While I would like to think I am pretty crafty, I don’t have the brain power to make them into something really sweet. This is where you come in!!! I was thinking it would be cool to give them to you and see what you could do with them. You know- a challenge! Anyway – only if you want to – heavens knows they may totally suck, but they are vintage and from somewhere cool like Europe of South Africa…my dad has lived everywhere and is a hoarder!!! Anyway let me know I would love to pass them on and see what you come up with! YOU ARE THAT GOOD- for all you know it could be a segment of your blog, “give me your crap and I will inspire you”…..
1. I can never get tired of before and afters.
2. I don’t have an answer to this question – I like the authenticity of your blog, telling you what you should do with it would hinder that, maybe?
3. I hate giveaways I don’t win 😉 (or not open to Canadians!!)
4. I have quite a list of DIY/home blogs that I follow, and you are my absoloute favourite!
5. Because you post awesome things, you do awesome things, cause you’re awesome!
6. Of course!! 🙂
7. I would prefer quality posts over posting every day.
8. I linked from a blog, that I’d linked to from another blog, that was linked to by yet another blog etc. etc. etc.
1. What do you want to see more of on Vintage Revivals?
-I love you the way you are. But you KNOW I love some family stuff thrown in there. The stories you told? Sooo good. Do I wanna see more little girls? You know I do.
2. What do you think I can improve?
-Nada, hon.
3. Do you hate giveaways?
-I don’t hate them. I’m lazy about them. I have to really want it to enter.
4. What type of feeling do you get when you come over to my house in blogland?
-Hmm, fabulousness.
5. Why do you read my blog?
-Because Mandi rocks the free world.
6. Do you think I am pretty?
-Hello? Does the sun rise in the morning? Heck to the yeah!
7. How often to you expect me to post?
-Honestly, I know a lot of people think a daily post is needed. I think 3 or 4 times a week is perfect, BUT I would probably be in the minority. (do you follow any blogs that post loooong reading stuff 2 or more times a day? that’s too much for me). Honestly I want to know how you like it. How much is just right for the ones you read? Seriously I wanna know.
8. How did you find Vintage Revivals?
from you, love muffin
Okay! My questions:
-What kind of girl were you in high school?
-Have you ever committed a felony?
-Best movie, EVAR.
Love YOUR guts.
First of all, you are one of my very favorite people in the whole wide world! I LOVE you so much!
1. I don’t care what you post, as long as you keep doing it.
2. I can’t even say, everything is so awesome.
3. I love giveaways, but I don’t love that I never win. You should give away more of the projects you feature.
4. I feel joy because coming here is one of the few escapes in a crazy world.
5. Your blog has the best, most amazing projects.
6. You are so cute!
7. Daily posts are always nice.
8. I found Vintage Revivals through Crafting With the Stars.
YAY!
I absolutely love your blog. I think what you’re doing is great, so just keep going the way you are going with it! I ended up finding your blog a while ago when looking for advice on tinfoiling, and I found your nightstand. I am beyond obsessed with finding other people crap, and making it amazing. After I found the post about the tinfoiling, and looked around for a bit, I realized you love it as well. I love coming back to check if you have added anything new because some of your projects are pretty inspiring. And yes, you are very pretty….
Here’s my question…
I know that I am one of those who emailed you about growing a blog, since I am fairly new to it. I’m kind of sad you don’t have any advice, but thats ok, I will keep searching and trying. I was wondering though about being one of your sponsors. You haven’t updated your sponsor page, so I was wondering if you could give me some info!
1. What do you want to see more of on Vintage Revivals?
I want to see more of your cute girls!! I have two girls myself, and I’m pregnant with my third. 🙂
2. What do you think I can improve?
I just sat staring at this question for like 10 minutes and I can’t come up with anything. Keep on truckin’ girl!
3. Do you hate giveaways?
Only because I NEVER win!! 🙁
4. What type of feeling do you get when you come over to my house in blogland?
I always feel your enthusiasm through your words. You really keep me entertained and I don’t ever skim through your posts like I do most other blogs.
5. Why do you read my blog?
You’re fun! And you post! And you are a real down to earth person who isn’t afraid to show your faults and help other people grow from your experiences.
6. Do you think I am pretty?
Duhhhh. I don’t think many people look good blonde AND brunette, but you can pull off both! Jealous!
7. How often to you expect me to post?
Everyday! Well, I check everyday, but I don’t *expect* you to post everyday. I just hope you will.
8. How did you find Vintage Revivals?
I found your blog when you made the teapot lamp. I have blogs that I read in order of my faves to least faves and you’re at the top. 🙂
My question…
Do you guys plan on having more children? If so how many?
OK, here goes 🙂
1. What do you want to see more of on Vintage Revivals?
> MOAR EVERYTHANG! (I have tons of time on my hand right now so everyone who doesn’t update seven times a day is clearly a slacker :D). OK, kidding, but I like your projects and I’d love to see as much of them as humanly possible. (On your side, not on mine. I can look at projects all day 😉 ).
2. What do you think I can improve?
> Your page navigation system – having to go through months and drop-downs and not seeing right away what the project is about can be a little off-putting. Personally I don’t mind digging a bit, and regular followers will have seen older stuff before anyway, but new readers could benefit from a more direct approach. In my inexperienced, non-blogger opinion 🙂
3. Do you hate giveaways?
> I don’t enter giveaways. But as a general idea I find them superneat 🙂
4. What type of feeling do you get when you come over to my house in blogland?
> Like I’m visiting a friend 🙂 What I love about your house (and your work in general) is that it manages to be gorgeous and totally laid back at the same time.
5. Why do you read my blog?
> 50% for inspirational content, 50% for your style and sense of humour. Yes, both are equally important.
6. Do you think I am pretty?
> I do I do! I like you /much/ better as a brunette, too.
7. How often to you expect me to post?
> Eleventy billion times! And then some!
(As often as you can, but not more often than you’d like. Quality over quantity and all that jazz, and I’ll try to restrain my craving for MOAR ;)).
8. How did you find Vintage Revivals?
> I’ve stumbled upon the teacup clock, but I can’t for the life of me remember where or how. Sorry, I’m useless that way.
No questions at this time, I’ll think of something later 😉
Hey Mandi!
I’ve been following you for a while so can’t quite remember how I found you.
I love your blog like everyone else but what makes you stand out for me is your personality. You seem to jump right out from the computer screen and write like we’re just two friends having a conversation and a good laugh. One of my favorite characteristics in people is wit – and you have it in spades.
I’m not much on giveaways if they become a huge part of the blog but once in a while for something special is great. It feels like getting a scooby snack when I followed the directions correctly 🙂
I like reading your posts because you actually have something to say every time, not just blah blah blah because you need to stay on some x amount of posts per week. I’m not big on counting how many times I see you but love when your posts pop up because it makes me smile even before I read it, you’re just THAT entertaining! I just started blogging and I’m not overly concerned with this subject since I am doing it as a hobby and want it to happen organically.
Yes I think you are pretty AND funny which makes you even prettier.
Questions…hmmm…
Where did you get “love your guts” from? that’s so original!
I just thought of another question…
Where do you get your mirror custom cut? What kind of store would you recommend calling for that type of thing? How much does it usually cost?
I’m crushing on Vicki 🙂
I love your blog because it’s really geared for grown up crafts and decorating. I am 50 and so not interested in buntinting and baby bibs. So I have the empty nest thing going, and you are one of best blogs that give me great idea’s. I like the give-aways, but I think that people with blogs seem to win alot more than us regular people, and since they get free things for trying them out, they really shouldnt be allowed to go to someone else’s blog and get to win there too. Seem’s only fair to me. I think you are adorable! And you are funny!! Keep up the good work girl!
#1-I would like to see more ummm….well I think I see what I wanna see! haha Maybe I guess I just want you to come work some Mandi Magic on my house! haha
2-None needed
3-Like the giveaways….hate that I don’t win! ha
4- okay totally lame…but when I read your posts and see your stuff, I feel like I’m getting to know you! A great thing! I like it here in your home!
5-Cause you’re hilarious and love your projects!
6-NOPE! haha I think your gorgeous! 🙂 Awwwe!
7-EVERYDAY! haha no kidding…maybe a few times a week?? Too much…I guess I just can’t get enough! haha
To make it totally lame…I would ask who to grow my blog….but instead I guess I would ask….how much to do go to the di and how often are you successful with a “SCORE” kind of trip?? Is there a certain time of day to go?? I just never find furniture…well…I find some….just stuff that would have to be recovered and I just don’t dare attempt that! haha
Thanks for offering to answer questions!
Love YOUR guts!
Maybe a lil’ late but anyway here I go… I don’t blog (there4 anonymous acct =( ), just read awsome blogs like yours (which btw is the first one I check every single day – every single day I can get to check what’s going on on blogland).
1. More of what ever drives you, whatever project you come up with.
2. Can’t think of anything.
3. Just ´cause I don’t live in the States so giveaways aren’t for me. =(
4. I’m excited every time hoping to find another fab project that will make me green of envy, in a good way =) Love you blog.
5. ´Cause you showed me a world of posibilities. You inspire me, you’re refreshing and real, not a poser. And you always make me laugh. =)
6. LOL Gorgeus inside-out.
7. If you want to post 100 times a day I’ll be glad to keep reading. =)
8. Thru another blog abt 3 months ago but don’t ask me which one. Should have write a “thank you” note to the owner.
Sorry if I made any mistake, english isn’t my mothertongue.
Greetings from Chile! =)
