The Tropical Blonde Giveaway {CLOSED}

While blog hopping during the One World One Heart magic carpet ride, I met Kate, a jewelry & polymer clay artist.  She created this pretty heart to giveaway during the carpet ride.

Here is a little about the artist behind this pretty creation...

1. Tell us a little about yourself…
I am 26 with 2 boys (Isaac is 3 1/2 and Jason is 2) and we have one on the way due to arrive in September. I grew up all over the world and have lived in Canada, Australia and Grenada in addition to the United States (South Carolina, California and Colorado)

2. How long have you been doing this?
I have been making jewelry since I was 14 but just started working with polymer clay a little over a year ago.

3. Who/What inspires you?
COLORS!! I love color and bold combinations. I have recently been thinking about "branching out" and trying to do some more natural imitations (like beach rocks etc) to broaden my repertoire :)

4. What's your favorite piece?
Today, it's the Swirl Sophisticate and Zebra Craze bracelets at my etsy store here. Ask me tomorrow though and it will most likely be totally different!

5. What advice do you have for a beginner?
Don't be afraid to experiment! And like anything worth doing it takes practice so have fun practicing!

6. Where can we find you?
Shop :: Blog :: Facebook :: Twitter

Therefore, I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Nothing that requires a lengthy response. If you’d like to participate, just post your own question on your blog and leave your comment below and link in Kailani’s blog. Don’t forget to visit the other participants!

This weeks question is:
Have you gone to any of your class reunions?  Or will you go?

I went with my husband to his 10yr reunion and I went to my 10yr reunion for the high school I graduated from.  The only thing is I only attended the high school I graduated from for 1 year...my senior year.  It's a long story.  The school I went to from 3rd grade until my senior year is having a reunion this summer and I am on the fence about going.  The reunion is for the classes of '88-'02.  While I think it would be fun to see some of the people I am just not sure about going.

Dear So and So... wk7

Dear Jeff,
What do you think is going to happen when you open the fridge and stare into it?  Food is not going to jump out at you and make itself.  Just sayin'.  You may have to put a couple of things together to make something.
*mwah*, Your always helpful wife. 

Dear Jeff,
I will miss you this weekend.  I don't like sleeping alone.  Try and have a good time at the conference. 
Big Hugs!!  Mel

Dear scrapbooking friends,
I can not wait for next Friday.  We are outta here!
Already packing my bags! =) melanie

Dear Sharon,
I crap money!  *oh, yes I did!*
TeeHee...your bestest friend.  ;P

Dear Time Change,
You SUCK!  I want my hour back.
Still sleep deprived, melanie, jeff, ian & lily

Dear Naps,
I oh so miss thee!  PLEASE come back!
Begging and pleading, Lily's mommy

Dear Ian & Lily,
Why is it as soon as I get on the phone that is when you both decide to argue, bounce around like maniacs & ask me ridiculous questions?
*sigh*, mommy
