Favorite Color Swap
This post is for a crafty exchange I am involved with called the "Favorite Color Swap" (Hi FCS Pal!). If you are not a knitter, you can skip this one, or you can read on to get some not-so-interesting insights into my personal likes and dislikes.
Favorite Color Swap Questionnaire
1. What are your top three favorite colors? Green, gray, and brown. Navy blue is another favorite.
2. What crafts do you really enjoy? knitting, painting, scrapbooking (even though I stink at it), and paper crafts.
3. What products do you really covet? Right now, I'm really into tweedy yarns, but I have a hard time finding them.
4. What other activities do you enjoy besides your favorite crafty things? Reading, photography, hiking with Jeff and the kids.
5. Is there anything you collect? I've actually acquired a bit of a Harry Potter collection in my classroom this year, as well as several owls (our class mascot).
6. What is your zodiac sign and/or Chinese zodiac symbol? I'm a Virgo born in the year of the Ox. (stubborn and always right!) :)
7.What are your favorite…
…scents/smells? Tucson rain, orange blossom, plumeria
…types of music and/or bands? I like mostly alternative, but listen to a variety of musical styles. Favorite bands: The Police, Sublime, Hot Hot Heat. I also love show tunes and movie scores and recently have been into the "Juno" soundtrack.
…authors? Oh, so many... J.K. Rowling and Jane Austen are my favorites.
…animals? I love giraffes and wombats. Owls are cool too.
…places to shop? Amazon.com, yarn stores, Target, Old Navy
…season? Fall
…yarn/fabric/paper/other craft supplies? I love soft yarns and scrapbooking paper
…candies or goodies? CHOCOLATE. Especially if it's dark.
8. Do you have any wish lists? Not really. I should probably make some of those....
9. Are you allergic to anything? People who smack their lips a lot while eating.
10. Do you have any pets? What are they? Three cats: Rupert Guaca Molay, Mesa LaRue, and Oona May E-Lane (there are stories behind these names, but I won't bore you with that now).
11. Please include anything else you would like your secret pal to know about you- anything that would be helpful in finding you little gifts that you will really enjoy. Also, if you have a Ravelry ID, please include it here. My Ravelry ID is "rumolay." I'm actually pretty easy to please when it comes to gifts. I'm not to fussy about my yarns, and I love goofy, dorky things. I also love pretty much anything to do with Harry Potter ("Charmed Knits" is my current favorite pattern book).

Hmm...I'm going to have lots of fun putting your package together!

This sounds like a fun idea! Now I need to hear the Juno CD. I haven't seen the movie yet, but it is in my Netflix queue.
We have the whole Harry Potter series too. I have actually read them all except only part way through the last one. I started out reading the series outloud to my kids and then I just had to finish them.
not doing your thing here, but I thought I would let you know, this post inspired my Sat post. I don't normally post on a Saturday, but I saw this. It made me wonder what year I was born in: year of the Monkey, call me Curious!
