Brand New Month- 30 Questions

A brand new month and a desire to jump back into blogging. I’ve had a need this month to step back and keep a low profile. I haven’t even done much art – and I have been missing it.

June starts the 60 days of ICAD and once again I will be taking part. Check here to find out more about this fun challenge.

I will be returning as well to my ART on Friday, as I share my new challenges and projects done.

I thought I’d start the month off with an interesting Blog hop – 30 Questions, which is being hosted at The Doglady’sDen.

The bloghop will be open all summer – a chance to share a bit about yourself and learn more about other bloggers. A win-win.

Here are the questions and my answers – in italics.

1.   What did you want to be when you were a kid?   For as long as I can remember, I wanted to be a teacher. I would line up my dolls and stuffed animals and teach them. I would even try it with my younger siblings – altho that wasn’t too successful. And after 36 years in teaching, I am now retired.

2.   Which “Friends” character do you relate to the most? Why?  I never really watched the show as I couldn’t stand some of the characters. So – NONE!

3.   Do you like your name? Why?  For a longtime I hated my name, but I have learned to like it and respect my dad for choosing it – even if it is the male spelling! Not a lot of female Beverley’s out there.

4.   Are you messy or neat?  Hate to say it – but messy, cluttered. Sign of a creative mind???

5.   How tall are you?  5’7”

10.          Tea or coffee?  Tea, of course. Never drink coffee, altho I like Coffee Crisp and iced caps.

11.          Are you an introvert or an extrovert? More of an introvert – need time alone, but I do enjoy getting together with friends for cards and an enjoyable evening together.
