A Few of My Favorite Things

All of my energy has been poured into making an "idea book" these past few days, in preparation for an interview that I'm afraid to name for fear or jinxing it...

Got the idea when trying to fill out a Style at Home online profile last week, they give you a text box for your favorite things. I had quite a list... they're ALL my favorites. I had to delete them one at a time and try to re-post. I kept getting this angry red error message

My Favorite Things list is too long. Please try again.

So I tried again. And Again. And again. Finally I was left with a pitiful list of 4 or 5 items ... hardly an accurate representation of MY favorite things.

My list runs something like this:
  1. texture that begs to be touched
  2. ... haven't gotten there yet
  3. Paisley
  4. Glass mosiac tile
  5. Red lacquer
  6. working on it
  7. also TBA
  8. Analogous color schemes
  9. Yellow-green
  10. Graphic retro print
  11. Mirrored anything
  12. ...
  13. Chaise sectional sofas
  14. Stainless steel
  15. Diamond plate
  16. Ikea PS red
  17. Stripes
  18. Tylosand
  19. Multi-purpose furniture
  20. Copper
  21. Fabric with a touch of sparkle
  22. TBA
  23. Funky damasks
  24. ...
  25. Nike Karlsson
  26. Skylights
  27. Grundtal kitchen accessories
  28. ...
  29. ...
  30. Orchids
  31. ...
  32. ...
  33. Rough painted wood
  34. Slate
  35. ...
  36. Leather
  37. Lucite
  38. Undercabinet lighting
  39. Magnetic things
  40. Gerbera daisies
So I ran out of rubber cement part of the way through. Leaving room for improvement is good. I have MOST of an idea book. It looks good. I'm happy with how it came out. I'm also going to bring my old book that I made years ago and some of my decorating work. Wish me luck!!

What's with all the ellipses? And why aren't I on your favourite things list?

I had Mom tell me the whole story of the chicken and then I read it for myself and was still very entertained! Keep that creativity flowing!

I guess I'm fond of ellipses? Never really noticed before. And Laura, hon, you're on your OWN list entirely! :D
