ReplyDeleteooh... great fabrics!
ReplyDeleteI've ridden an elephant before.
Hey! This might be more weird than interesting, but I've had numerous surgeries on my big toes! Growing up I always had ingrown toenails and they would get so bad that the only way to fix them was surgery.
ReplyDeleteI think you already have my email :)
Beautiful fabrics... I dislike birds! I find them unpredictable and used to live in London where it was pigeon central!
ReplyDeleteMy fabric stash is now larger than my yarn stash, despite the fact that I knit so much more than I sew.
ReplyDeleteGreat fabrics! I love blue and as soon as I could talk I refused to wear anything without blue in it (my parents loved that one, but still laugh about it today).
ReplyDeleteI'm doing a giveaway as well and hosting a fabric swap. Come and check it out :)
Oooo--taking off from someone else's comment: I've ridden an elephant too.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful fabrics. I had not seen the Pacific Ocean until I was 21, and now I live 30 miles from it.
ReplyDeleteodd fact? hum...i hate my toes being touched!
ReplyDeleteI just the brown & turquoise print.
ReplyDeleteI have also ridden an elephant.
Those are lovely fabrics!!
ReplyDeleteFun fact about me...I do not swim in water unless it's chlorinated. This rules out oceans, lakes, ponds, etc. I don't like swimming in critter habitats.

ReplyDeleteI have webbed toes. weird, I know, but I am a good swimmer.

ReplyDeleteI read around one book per day!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
I hate the color yellow, yet chose butter yellow siding for my house. I'm not crazy about the color red, but a year ago I bought a torch red (kind of burgandy) Mustang that I love! Everytime I say I don't like a color, I end up choosing it for something major in my life!
ReplyDeleteCute fabrics!
ReplyDeleteI cannot STAND to feel two cotton balls rub together... weird or what? :-P

My middle toe on both feet is bend under so that you can't see the toe nail unless you are looking at the bottom of my foot. You asked! LOL!
ReplyDeleteI don't know if it's odd but I have seen most of Canada except for the extreme east, west and north. My daughter just moved to BC and when I go visit her I can cross that off my list. I love to travel by car having someone else do the driving (I navigate) and I never, ever have an itinerary. Too restrictive.

when I was a teenager, my family and I were driving through the mountains of virginia, returning home from a camping trip. A giant bumblebee flew into our van and then disappeared. A few minutes later I felt a buzzing at the waist of my shorts. I rolled down the top of my shorts and a bee flew out of them! I screamed like the little girl I was. But I still have never been stung by a bee.

When I was four, my mom took me to see a foot specialist because I was slightly pigeon-toed. He told me nothing was wrong with me, except that I would get more traction running so could probably run really fast.
ReplyDeleteThat was the first thing I thought of when I set the 100m dash record for my middle school.
missyschwartz@gmail.com
Awesome giveaway! My random fact is that I like to eat frozen peas straight from the freezer...as in still frozen...my boyfriend thinks this is disgusting, but I've been doing it my whole life (literally, my Mum and Grandma teethed me on frozen vegetables. They not realize that may have been a bit dangerous). :D
ReplyDeleteSthing unusual which makes everyone hates me - I weigh more (45 kg) while I was in university about 15 years ago. The last time I put myself on the scale at the emergency they weighed me in 42 kg. Even at my heaviest, I am so underweight to score 16 plus for the BMI.
ReplyDeleteI always loved brussel sprouts, even as a little girl, but I hated fast food.

Best prom ever!

ReplyDeleteHi!! lovely fabrics!! please count me in!! Something funny, well, not so much! Last night I had a nightmare about my teeth falling down!!!

ReplyDeleteHey, my name's Eleanor and my interesting fact is this: Recently I cut ~6 inches off my hair (first time doing it for myself) and my own mother didn't notice. (Well, she noticed the hair in the garbage . . .) This is because my hair used to be The Longest It's Ever Been, and it was getting to the point where if I did dishes with my hair down I'd have to be careful to keep i out of the dishwater. My Love Interest noticed though, which was quite thoughtful of him.
ReplyDeleteI don't know that I have a interesting personal fact.... but I do have an interesting kitten. He was rescued from a fire by the local fire department! Scrappy little fellow!
ReplyDeleteA fact - perhaps interesting - I get stage fright when speaking in front of a large group. Instead of that old trick of picturing audience members naked, I picture a scrap quilt with the colorful clothing of the audience making up the patches. This way I don't see individual faces but I'm looking right at the audience!

Further down in previous posts, I also have pictures of my family, mom, dad, 15 month brother and other brother and sister. We homeschool.

What fun facts! I too have ridden on an elephant, and been chased by a black rhino in India (luckily there was a handy tree and an extremly fearless guide who chased it away!) Thanks for the chance to win such a fab giveaway!
ReplyDeleteGreat fabric. Let's see... I lived in Mobile, AL during Hurricane Frederick. We had 7 trees on our house, one that came through the window and was lying on my brother's bed. We were huddled in the hall and the winds were making the walls shake that we were leaning against. We really thought the roof would be taken off and we would die. God is so good and protected us.

mmmm - interesting fact...we spent the first night of our honeymoon stuck on one side of a landslide and so had to sleep in the car and missed out on our fab and swanky honeymoon suite - people always get a kick out of that ...it was kinda funny I guess, but maybe not interesting....great giveaway though !!
ReplyDeleteRandom fact: I used to be a singer in a heavy metal band (www.assaultcompany.com for current music)
ReplyDeleteI'd love to be a part of this! Thanks for the opportunity!

My honeymoon in the Cayman Islands last year was the first time I left the country. (Canada doesn't count because I grew up an hour away from the border!)
ReplyDeleteThe first time I flew on an airplane was college to go on a missions trip.

I hate to be barefoot, except in my own house!
ReplyDeleteI Love buttons, and have a pretty large collection of them. I play World of Warcraft when I am not crafting... or reading or watching movies. Too many hobbies I guess! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for doing this giveaway!
