I was poking around in some of my photo files last night and found this photo of me that was taken a few years ago at a Halloween party I was at with some friends. Since it's now officially "fall" on the calendar, I thought I'd share this photo with you!
Last night I also came across an email I received recently from a friend. The email shared tidbit facts about my friend, and in return asked for similar tidbit facts about me. (Thanks Chris!) I was supposed to respond with my answers, and forward the email to several other friends -- kind of like an email "tag" I suppose.
With all the recent blog tagging, I thought it would be good info to share here. Feel free to take this list, make the answers your own, and share it with those you know.
Four jobs I have had in my life (I can really only list four...ooooh, which ones to choose...):
1. Farm-Fresh Egg Sellin' Girl (my neighbors loved me! And I still do this! I should wear my overalls...)
2. Resident Assistant and Student Activities Graphic Designer for the University I attended (I still do Graphic Design projects for them, for a large annual concert.)
3. Girl Scout Camp Counselor, Art Director, and Assistant Camp Director (not at the same time, for 5 summers) I was known as "Chiquita" (all staff had camp names - I should dig out those photos!).
4. Artist, Photographer, and Designer
(I'll give an honorable mention of Project Manager for a large Computer Software company, since it pays my bills...)
Four places I have lived:
1. Newport, Washington (up in the northeastern corner, by Idaho and Canada)
2. La Grande, Oregon (in the northeastern corner...)
3. Eugene/Springfield, Oregon (central west coast)
4. Milford, Texas (central)
Four Places I have been on vacation:
1. Rosarito Beach, Mexico
2. Juneau, Haines and Skagway Alaska
3. Lots of US National Parks
4. The Oregon Coast
Four shows I like to watch:
1. Survivor
2. That's Clever / Crafters Coast to Coast
3. American Idol
4. Pro Bull Riding =)
Four places I like to shop:
1. Craft & Hobby Shops
2. Fabric / Quilt Shops
3. Antique / Rustic / Primitive Home Decor Shops
4. Fancy Kitchen Shops (like Sur La Table)
Four of my favorite foods:
1. Roasted, grilled, or fried chicken and mashed potatoes
2. Juicy hamburgers with lots of yummy sauces!
3. Garlic and Parmesan Shrimp Spinach Salad
4. Creme Brulee
Four places I would rather be right now:
1. Being crafty
2. On vacation (anywhere!)
3. Napping
4. On vacation (really...anywhere!)

You are so cute!!

Awesome scarecrow! You are so creative! I kinda reminds me of when my two cousins who were art majors won a radio station contest for Halloween. They called themselves, "The Celery Sisters" (they were actually sisters). Such cute stalks of celery!

Very cute scarecrow. I am still trying to decide what I want to be this year. Good thing to read to get to know you better. You are super talented, and I love the farm fresh egg selling girl. I too was highly involved in Girl Scouts!! I have volunteered a lot in my life, and Girl Scouts was always so much fun!

Such a small world. I have been to La Grande - my aunt lives in Haines and we went out that way a few times. I think it is near Hot Lakes Hotel, have you ever been there?
We got to go inside one day and holy carp was that a spooky place. At the time they still had medical records of past patients strewn about from when it was a sanitorium - records going back to the 50s. I took some photos and took some records as a memento (also I planned to write an aticle about the hotel). I got in the car and we began to drive away, but something told me to go back and put the records back. Sadly I think everything was thrown away as trash, but I am still glad I put them back. My cousin who is a radiologist, did take (with permission) an old piece of medical equipment that was to be thrown away as trash. It was in the surgery room. It was just amazing that the hotel had survived so many reincarnations yet still had all that stuff going back to the late 1800s in its nooks and crannies.
