Today is Five Fact Friday so here are some VERY random facts about moi...
1. I am a newspaper almanac junkie....it's the column usually next to the obituaries that lists happenings on this date through the years. I just find it fascinating and it reminds me of the world's history and events that sometimes changed the world, sometimes good, sometimes not. For instance on today's date in in 1902 Ray Kroc, the businessman who built the McDonald's fast food empire, was born in Oak Park, IL. Can you imagine a world without a "Big Mac"
2. I love to decorate my home for the different seasons...right now I am lovin Fall and all the loveliness it brings. Please visit my collaborative blog, Focusing on Life, where I am sharing many more photos of my Fall decorating.
3. I just purchased and received my very first batch of business cards. Since I am attending Tracey Clark's Camp Oasis in Palm Springs, CA this month (a 4 day event filled with inspiration, photography, & fun) it was suggested that we have business cards to exchange with fellow attendees. Purchased these from an on-line company called MOO. I am very pleased with the results.
4. I am a cup collector, altho this might not be a surprise to many that have followed this blog in the past. My favorite shop for discovering new and lovely cups/mugs is Home Goods. I really, really need to stay away from there, I am definitely running out of spaces to store all my lovely cups. But it never fails, I walk in, I spot a new one, I must purchase. I never spend more than $5.99 and many are priced cheaper than that. Sounds like I am justifying my purchases, doesn't it?
5. My closet is in turmoil right now and definitely needs a good cleaning/purging. There are items of clothing in there that I have forgotten about, that are definitely too small, that are so out-dated that they will never come back in style (ie. I still have suits hanging in my closet that I wore in the 80's). PS...you will not see pictures of the inside of my closet, just sayin.

Until next time.....
I don't think I could come up with 5 fun facts every Friday! Yes, on the mug thing, my husband just looks at me like, really? But I'm going to have to give one away for every one I buy, I have no more room in the cupboard!!!
ReplyDeletehow about you show us the "after shots" of your closet? i will be interested to see how it looks after you shed off some unwanted clothes. i know when i clean up anything, it always takes a messy-er stage 1st & then you get unbelievable, wonderful, exciting results. speaking of BIG MACs i have not had one in a long while. i'm due one asap!! ha. ha!! enjoy the weekend. (:
ReplyDeleteLove the business cards! Since Moo prints in CYMK, I've been reluctant to order from them. Maybe it's time to rethink that!
ReplyDeleteI used Moo to print mini cards and they did a great job. I need to get an updated one and will use them again. Wish there was a Home Goods store near here! I love that place and I love that cherry mug. Enjoy the weekend and the beautiful fall weather.
ReplyDeleteLove your 5 fact friday post and all of your mugs pics are just adorable. So keep on collecting!
ReplyDeleteLove,
B.
Always fun to see your Fun Facts Friday. I'm going over to your other blog to see your decorating.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
I love your cards - they're so beautiful! I'm just about to order some from Moo but I keep changing my mind on what I want printed!
ReplyDeleteYour cards turned out beautifully!!
ReplyDeleteTracey Clark's Camp Oasis sounds fabulous!
ReplyDeletefun facts you shared, my closet could use a good purge!!
ReplyDeleteyour cards look lovely!!
Your moos turned out really nice Deanna, can't wait to get one. You reading the almanac reminded me of sometimes in a shop you can find a birthday card that has facts on your birthday. I am always a sucker for those.
ReplyDeleteOutstanding business card - very neat idea to have to hand out at conferences and get-togethers. At one time I collected coffee / tea cups, but as with many things I have collected over the years, I stopped because enough was enough. Speaking of which, I have more than a closet that needs cleaning and purging. Where does this stuff come from?
ReplyDeleteHI Deanna, Just caught up on your latest posts and love your photos, especially that textured barn.
ReplyDeleteAnd your business cards are fantastic – I hope you have a marvelous time at the camp!

Love your post Deanna, those cards look great, I love stationery too!
ReplyDeleteLove your five facts, Deanna! I haven't done a Five Fact Friday in a while and this is making me want to get back to it. Love your MOO cards! I have mine all ready to go to Oasis, but I LOVE your idea of having your own photo on it! Great idea! We just had a Home Goods open near us and I can tell I'm going to be dangerous in there! Oh, yes, closet cleaning. I so desperately need to do that! Now that it's cooling off a bit here, I'm definitely going to do it. I'll be seeing you a week from Wednesday and can't wait!
ReplyDeleteFabulous 5 facts! I finally got my laundry done, and hung everything up. I've got 4 different sizes of clothes in there that I need to sort out. Who has time for that! Yuck.
ReplyDeleteI just did a major purge in my closet, and it looks so much better!
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful photos. I LOVE your new header! (I have some clothes from the 80s too, don't tell)
