Today is the day. I am no longer in my twenties. Jeez that was hard to say. It’s funny because I still feel like I just finished up high school or college. I don’t feel like this adult that I apparently am. I thought we could do something fun today where you get to know me a little bit more. So how about 30 things you may have not known about me.
- I am a cat lady. I have two beautiful but crazy cats. Dora is my anxious scardy cat and Zoey is my crazy into everything, sour but sweet cat. I often call her a sour patch kid because she reminds me so much of the commercial. You cannot stay mad at her.
- I had a goal to break the millennial stereotype and buy a house on my own before I turned thirty. I did this when I was 28 and this is one of my proudest accomplishments to date.
- I grew up in a really small town in Massachusetts. People joke that Plainville is Massachusetts’s version of Pleasantville.
- I had a quarter life crisis and moved to Savannah, GA for two years. Those two years were the best decision I ever made.
- I’m an aunt.
- I always said I wanted to live 5 different places before I settled down and decided where I wanted to plant my roots. I’ve lived in Boston, London, Savannah, France and Rhode Island. Before settling down about 10 minutes from where I grew up.
- I love to learn. I have two degrees and would be a perpetual student if student loans weren’t so dang expensive.
- Weekend Craft started as a hobby to show my family and friends how I made things I was selling at craft shows.
- I am a graphic designer who designs specifically social content as my 9-5.
- I have a fear of frogs and toads.
- I grew up always having to share my birthday. My sister is the 9th, I’m the 11th and now my sister in law is the 13th. #GeminiPower
- I read my horoscope every day.
- I don’t believe in psychics.
- I’m a redhead that’s crazy afraid of going white.
- My favorite movie is When Harry Met Sally.
- I’ve had to speak in front of 2,500 people more than once.
- On my 14th birthday my dad drove me to the grocery store and got me a job. I worked there for 5 years.
- I graduated with a 4.0 from graduate school and it was one of the most challenging things I ever did.
- I worked at Restoration Hardware in college. Which helped influence my style. Man I wish I had that 40% off discount now.
- My least favorite thing about owning a home is plumbing. Still bitter from replacing my sewer line for $6,000.
- Favorite thing about owning a home is not having a landlord.
- I may appear organized but I am not! It’s actually my achilles heel.
- I am passionate about power tools
- Favorite power tool? My new Ryobi Airstrike brad nailer. Bye bye pancake compressor.
- Favorite craft supply? My Cricut!
- Most wanted craft supply right now? Heat Press. I have never tried HTV!
- Career goals? To become a creative director or blog full time.
- Favorite flower? Do succulents count? No then tulips or daffodils.
- I am a reality TV junkie. Anything from Real Housewives of anywhere to Survivor. My only cable package requirement is that it has Bravo.
- Favorite thing about my 20’s. Is travelling and moving alone really helped me find who I was and develop a personal and design style.
Thank you all for celebrating with me! Here’s to the next thirty years. Can’t wait to see what life brings me.
That picture is darling, Michelle! I liked getting to know you better here. Happy Birthday! (I would just have to sign back my paycheques to Restoration Hardware if I worked there!)
