I can see myself in (2); Darren would prefer a little more (4) & (6); I'd like to nurture a little more of (7) & (8); but otherwise it's not a typical adjective I'd choose to describe myself. Well, not until I took a quiz in this month's Romantic Homes. There are a few quick questions--nothing too complex, but I enjoyed the process. As a result, I discovered I am a boldly, sweet romantic--why thank you! Too kind, really. I was split right down the middle for most of the questions. Can't wait to compare notes with you. (Once you stop belly laughing at the notion of me being "sweet.") So, drop by for your copy of the May issue of Romantic Homes.




In the romantic manner, as suggested by (5), I will give you a free copy of the May issue with a purchase at Hodgepodge of $15 or more. This magazine is one of my favorites, with regular features like, We Love, Make It and Love This!; special focus articles like, Get Away for Good and Shopping DNA; and, gobs-and-gobs of gorgeous photographs! You'll find inspiration on every page.

I'm not going to publicize this at the shop--this for my blog friends only--so be sure to let me know you read it here!

Thanks for your indulgence.
