Hoo are you? #53



HOOOOOOOOO ARE YOU?
HOOOO HOOOO!
(as in the CSI theme song)

Helllloooo fellow HOOOOOTS!


Welcome to another week of...


NightOwlCrafting


I just started teaching again this week, so I wanted to take previous questions
do to me being so busy getting my classroom ready.


Here are this week's questions!
1. What are some of your pet peeves?
2. Do you have a favorite or lucky number?
3. What is one of your family traditions?
4. Is there anything you are OC about?
5. What is your favorite kind of food?

Here are my answers! 
 1. What are some of your pet peeves?
I can't stand the toilet seat left up, I hate when telemarketers call, dead leaves hanging off of a plant, when necklaces are flipped around, and when people don't clean out the lint from the dryer after each load! I am sure I have several more, but that is enough for now!
 
2. Do you have a favorite or lucky number?
My favorite number is lucky number 7! I always had this number is sports, or when I have to pick a number that is what I pick! 
 
3. What is one of your family traditions?
Every year we take a trip to Lagoon (a theme park in Utah)! We also open up our Christmas pajamas on Christmas Eve! We also pick a family to buy Christmas for or to do the twelve days of Christmas for them!
 
4. Is there anything you are OC about?
I have brown and green square plates that have to be stacked in my cupboard every other color!
I have to have all my blinds shut in the house at night, otherwise I get freaked out. The toilet paper has to roll over the top and not under! Everyone's close in their closets have to be hanging according to colors, short sleeve, long sleeve. dresees, jackets, and skirts!
 
5. What is your favorite kind of food?
I love Italian! Anything that is pasta is my favorite, along with yummy breads!


Now it is your turn to play along!!!!

    Watermelons, Watermelons, and more Watermelons!!!!

    HOOOOO else is loving 
    WATERMELONS 
    right now?

    I am so into them right now, in fact they are exploding all over my house.
    August is national watermelon month and what better way to celebrate
    with some fun watermelon decor!

    watermelon pennants inspired from Small Fray & Co.

    I created this cute little block from my cricut!

    one display in my kitchen!

    My gumball machine that I switch the ribbon out monthly!
    Find out more about how I created it here!

    my glass frame that also gets changed out monthly!


    one of my new crafts from the wood connection,
    this gets changed out monthly too!
    I have a white, black, and brown bead board frame
     and then I just velcro the pieces on and off, so much fun!

    Another display in my kitchen!

    The mat I found at Walmart, the warmer is from Scentsy, the candlesticks
    from a local store, the watermelon from an antique store in Utah and this cute
    little craft...

    is from Thoughts in Vinyl and the paper came from
    The Wood Connection!

    Seriously that is just a taste of what is exploding around my house right now!
    I will try and get my other posts put together for you to see the rest.
