Feature Friday-Blog Swap with Less Cake {more frosting}

Hey all you “A Little Tipsy” readers! My name is Ellie G and I blog at Less Cake{more frosting}. Well, that’s not entirely true. My real name is Lara. I thought it would be real cute to blog under an alias. (Made after my initials “LG”)

I’ve realized that it’s less “cute” and more….
hmmmm……reason to explain myself.
But whatever. I always wanted a nick-name, and I’ve NEVER had one. So I gave one to myself.
(in high school I tried to make “Daisy” work for some reason. It was a mistake)

I am a SAHM of two little kiddos. And I pretend that I’m going to be famous one day. I adore my family, Diet Coke, Mickey Mouse, Mod Podge, sugar, and Kenny Rogers. I also would eat frosting without cake, completely. Yep. I have no shame.

I was so excited when Michelle asked me to do a little blog swap with her. Yipee! I had so much fun meeting her recently, and have been a fan of her blog for awhile now. This is super fun for me.

Michelle had a couple questions for me to answer so we could all get better acquainted

• What is your favorite crafting tool or secret weapon?

This is a toughie. Because I take that word “favorite” so seriously. Like if I pick Mod Podge….then spray paint will be mad at me. Or if I pick glitter, then sticker letters will stop being my friends.
Okay.
Deep breath.
I recently got a Silhouette machine. We are in love. It’s true. I named her “Scarlett”.
{I’m so sorry Mod Podge}

• What is your favorite accessory?

The true answer is: gigantic earrings. I have a ton of them. My Mom wouldn’t ever let me wear “dangle-ie” earrings. {No explanation has been offered on her part.} But as soon as I could, I started buying them BIG and EXTRA dangle-ie. And I still feel a little sneakee about it!!

• What is your favorite Thanksgiving tradition?

Okay, I’m gonna just go ahead and say it.
Thanksgiving’s not my favorite.
I know! This is so majorly offensive to some people. (my husband has been known to question my American citizenship over this issue) I’m so sorry. I don’t love turkey. Stuffing. Nope. Football….not my thing. My greatest Thanksgiving ever? My family went to Walt Disney World for Thanksgiving. I was at EPCOT in the morning, and had Tony Romas for dinner. Ahhhh……that was delightful! Can we still be friends?

You can see that one of the main things we do over at Less Cake {more frosting} is share a little honesty. I have no shame in admitting that my kids eat Little Caesars for dinner WAAAYY too much.

But besides all that fun and frolic…..we like to share as many cool things as we can.

I have about 17,000 hobbies. And my blog is the best way to share all of them.

Monday is MANIC MONDAY. I’m a bad housekeeper, but a great organizer…so I usually try to share some little bit of my organizing how-to’s. (partly because “labels” and I are BFF’s forever)

Like this fun system that my kids use for getting chores done….and earning some rewards while they’re at it.

Sometimes we cook a little bit. I’m not a great cook. I am SKILLED at treats!! (and skilled at eating them) But sometimes I cook things that are healthy. Especially if it includes fresh Basil. Yum!

But most of the time we’re doing all things CREATIVE. (oh, and PS….I don’t like the word “crafts”. I don’t know what it is. But that word reminds me of a tacky project that you’re required to do at a church function. So we are “creative” over there. Not crafty.)

Recently I’ve fallen in love with freezer paper stenciling.

I’d love to have you stop over and visit me. The door’s always open, and there’s usually something fun to see.

I love to share all the quirky and awesome things that go on around here. But don’t ask me to share my frosting. I gotta draw the line somewhere!
