6 Facts + Holiday CD up for grabs
I've been tagged by Annie to tell ya'll 6 things about me:
1. I have a recent obsession for watching make-up/cosmetics videos over at YouTube. Seriously, people there are some talented generous people over there teaching you how to put on make-up. Check out the following videos if you're interested:
- Flirty Date Makeup with askmemakeup (Amy B... LOVE her accent!)
- MAC brushes vs. Painting Brushes from EnKore (save some cash and buy your brushes at a craft store!)
- Sephora Inspired Brush Holder with EnKore (I totally made one of these... awesome!)
- Beauty Tips for Mom: Out the Door in Two Minutes (I'm not a mom, but I'm a busy gal... I totally learned some basic tips).
2. I love the movie You've Got Mail entirely too much. "Good morning, Christina!" "Happy Thanksgibbing back."
3. I TiVo Oprah every day. I don't watch it every time, but I still like to be informed as if I was home during the day and could watch all the TV I want (like that would ever happen!). :)
4. I have an Amazon.com Prime Membership
... if you shop online as much I do, it's completely worth it. Two-day shipping for FREE, plus overnight shipping for only $3.99. That's a deal if I've ever heard one. Speaking of, go check out some of the awesome deals they've got going for the holidays. Just awesome.
5. I love LOVE Harry & David pears... if anyone out there who drew my name for Christmas is wondering what to get me, get me some pears. I love them! Yum!
6. My favorite memory of visiting Nashville back in November 2004? Eating breakfast at Waf le ouse (that's Waffle House with some letters missing). Here's a picture from that day...

Hey, hurry quick! Leave a comment on this entry and I'll draw a name tomorrow night. If your name is drawn, I'll send you a CD of my favorite holiday songs. :)

Oooh, I'm first? I love that Diana Krall version of Jingle Bells on one of your older Make a Card Monday videos. Thanks for the chance to win!
Okay, it is not 10 pm and I am craving waffles!
Love your creativity!
Interesting facts --- I knew I liked you! Amazon is awesome isn't it -- right now with free shipping I bought almost all my kids presents from there -- no tax, free shipping and they bring it to your door -- who could pass that up? And added bonus, you don't have to fight the crowds!
I am getting ready to try one of the ornament cards you made except with pattered paper -- hopefully it will look ok!
I am glad I am not the only one who has a thing for "You've Got Mail"............Go to the Mattresses!!
Hi Kristina- I thought I would finally say hello. Not sure if you even know who I am but I used to be a SAM at SU until I had my baby six months ago. I miss it there but hey being home with my baby is the best thing ever and I can watch oprah too. Speaking of which my cookie recipe will be demoed tomorrow on Good Things Ut so I get to be in the audiance, now that wouldn't happen if I was still working at SU right? Anyway just want to say thanks for such a great blog. I love your videos, projects etc. You are super talented!! keep up the amazing work!
Kristina: I love to see what you've been listening to! I was just thinking about you today (I know, crazy to think about a blogger I've never met or even sent a comment to, but hey anyway), I totally fell for the Diana Krall Christmas music after I heard it on your video. Love my new CD. So the reason I was thinking about you is I was listening to my favorite Christmas CD which is an old one by Jewel. It's so lovely, check it out! Arlynn
Oh Kristina...I would love, love, love a new Christmas CD! You have such good taste, I know I'd love grovin' to it. And even though I live in Canada, I have a USA post office box you could send it to.
Happy craftin'
Starr
You're pretty much awesome. That's all.
Kristina you offer so much with all your fantastic talent, it is a pleasure to log on and saik up your inspriation. Thanks, Mary
I downloaded some music from the detektiv website on your rec yesterday. Their stuff is really cool! Glad that you found that for us! Thanks!
Don't even get me started on You've Got Mail. My husband once sent me a "bouquet of newly sharpened pencils". Thanks for your inspiration! You're wonderful.
I totally LOVE your taste in music! I even signed up at last.fm - I just haven't got it figured out yet! I would love to get a CD of your favorite Christmas music.
Stephanie
online shopping, christmas music, and you all rock!
Thanks for all the fun facts and links! I totally love Harry and David's lemon shortbread and chocolate covered bing cherries. Since they aren't available in Canada, I always get them when I go down south!
I'm such an Amazon person, too! Although I think the Prime thing would just make me spend MORE money ... And the whole pear story made me feel like a pear. Unfortunately it's bedtime ... I'll have to think about pears in the morning. Good night!
Very cool list! Thanks for sharing and the chance to win!
I love watching your video demonstrations b/c of the music!(and all that I learn) I never really paid attention to the music that commercials play until you mentioned it in a previous post! I hope I win your favorite music cd!! What a great gift to receive!! Thanks for your inspiration!
I love you blog and your style! Great facts about you! I will have to go check out the makeup tips! Thanks for always sharing great stuff here!
Staci
I'm so glad someone else loves that movie too!! I own it and STILL have to watch it every time it's on cable. "I wanted it to be you so badly"......ahhhhh
Thanks for the Amazon tip and the chance to win music too!! (do you have the new Josh Groban Christmas CD? It is great!!!!!)
thanks for all the inspiration-- Hope I'm the lucky CD winner
Waffle houses are delicious.......but where's you, or better yet, where's the waffles in this pic?? Love your make a card Mondays! Love your music collection and thank you for the chance at a holiday CD........my favorite time of the year! Merry Christmas to you!!
Oh, I love those pears, too. Sue B
Wow - I really liked your Monday Cards. Love the music you play while making the cards. Keep the cards coming. Hope you have a Merry Christmas.
Ok, I said I wouldn't comment since you're a stamping goddess and all, but I couldn't pass this one up. Pick me!! (now bowing slowly away) *genuflect*
Am I too late? I hope not! :) I love Christmas music and like you, have been listening for months. My fave song this year is Josh's "It Came Upon the Midnight Clear." Sooo beautiful.
Well, I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one who loves waffle house! I lived in Nashville for the last 10 yrs. (transplant from Ca.) While pregnant with my two youngest kiddos I spent many mornings there...something about pork chops and waffles yummo! I love everything that you share. Your endless creativty inspires me! Thanks for sharing your gifts.

Kristina, just a thanks again....I'm listening to my Diana Krall CD right now that I picked up from Target today... and I totally know what you mean about Waffle House, my husband and I had it for dinner Saturday night (All Star Special!!!)
I am sure the CD is awesome! You have such good taste in music. You are very inspirational and I just love your work.
I always enjoy your posts -- and these random facts are great! I'm sure I won't win your CD, but maybe you could let us know what your faves are! :o)
It's fun to learn more about you. I love your blog and everything you make! Thanks for sharing your ideas, and I would totally love to win that Christmas CD!
Hi Kristina,
You have such awesome talent! Thanks for sharing so much of yourself with us. I check you blog every day (sometimes more than once, like today!).
It is my favorite. It is fun to get to know you better.
Kathryn
P.S.
You can't go wrong with waffles, pears, and Christmas music! Love it all!
KW
(Hey, we have the same initials!)
Cool...I love Christmas music.
Also, I love ebates.com for the same reasons. I have gotten over $100 from them just this year. Next year should be even more since I am shopping online more often now. If you have not already...Go check them out.
Hi Kristina,
I love visiting your blog. You totally inspire me! I love all kinds of Christmas songs. Right after Thanksgiving I start listening to Christmas songs to get me in the holiday spirit. Oprah's on my TiVo, too!
i'm a lurker but i'm coming out of hiding. love visiting your blog - tons of inspiration and some fun and wonderful music too. thanks so much!
I checked out those make-up videos, and I'm so glad I did! Thanks for the great tip :)
And I forgot to comment yesterday, but that was one of the most gorgeous cards I've ever seen :) I sent the link to a bunch of friends so they can all get inspiration from it!
Here's to Christmas music ;)
Your blog rocks - thanks for the inspiration!
Love your blog & stalk often! Love your eclectic music collection as well. I only have Elvis & Bing right now so it would be great to get another Christmas CD!
I have been enjoying pears from Harry @ David for over forty years. My grandma used to send them to us every year. Now I get them at the outlet as they have a Harry @ David store. Another great place to order from is Sunnyland Farms. We have always gotten nuts and candy there. Always enjoy your blog, wouldn't miss it.
Gail
since I have insomnia, I watch infomercials. I would never buy the junk but I talk to the people and tell them what liars and theives they are.
Thanks for sharing with us! I totally love your blog, you're such great inspiration and so very talented. I need you, just like i need my morning cup of coffee ~Daily~ ;)
I LOVE Christmas music. I just bought a double disk set of Anne Murray Christmas on your favorite website, Amazon.com.
I'm so glad to meet another You've Got Mail addictee, I seriously thought I was the only one!!!! I totally love your blog and visit everyday. Keep up the fab ideas!!!
Love your inspo on your blog! You have such great ideas and your videos are great!
Love your blog...your so cool when you do your tutorials
Thanks for letting me listen in .:)
Your tutorials are so awesome!
What fun. I love music. Thanks for sharing with us on your blog. I check it all the time. I even watched the makeup videos
I listen to Christmas music year round, so a new set of songs would be greatly appreciated...especially by my children who are already tired of Christmas songs!
Hello,
I've seen your video's a thousand times and i learn a lot from it.
Even when i don't know what to do and i'm boring then i look to your vids.
I even buy the round colluzle when i saw that you used it so simple and easy.
Now i want to make round cards too..
I asked where you get the Perfect Layers and i looked it up on Ebay.
Unforunatly i not yet get it to the netherlands.
Or verry expensive,but i think you good do it with an grid ruler??
Anyway thanks for the time to share all this great work with us.
As I am sitting here reading your blog I am watching You've Got Mail. If it's on TV I'm watching it. I had to laugh when I read your comment.
Cool! I can't wait to check out all the links- especially the make up tips. I think I'm ready for a new look!
OHHH!!! I love everything by Harry and David! But you are right the pears are awesome! I really like You've got mail too, but have always been more attached to Bed of Roses! Going to have to check out the makeup tips, thanks for the links.
Happy Holiday's Kristina... I ((HEART)) all of what you do and look to you daily for inspiration. You 'R' da best... Keep doin' what your doin'... You make all of your days a little brighter.
Thank-you for sharing ALL your tips, stamping and non-stamping. I learn so much from you every day!
Love your blog videos, especially the make a card mondays when we get to see your creative juices flowing. It makes me realize, that fabulous cards don't just come together for other people either!!!
You have such a great blog here, and it's a daily read for me. I love your creations and can't get enough of them. TFS all you do. I would have to guess that Josh Groban is somewhere in the mix of your favorite holiday music?! Doncha LOVE his voice? For me, he IS the sound of Christmas!
You make the waffle house look good! Next time you are here in Music City, you must have a proper breakfast at The Pancake Pantry in Hillsboro Village. It's a Nashville tradition and OMG... soooo good!
Hey there! Love your blog. I can't wait to see what the CD is bc I love the music you pick out for your videos. Fun stuff!
Love your blog ... love your videos ... love your cards ... and I have no doubt I will love your CD (if you pick me of course).
Love the facts! I do alot of the same things. Thanks for a chance to win a new holiday CD :D
You are the coolest person EVER! I feel much more hip each time I read your blog. And as a busy Mom, I need all the help in "hip" department I can get (including the ones attached to my legs!) Seriously, don't ever stop bloggin'
Isn't that the BEST movie??!!!
As much as I love your stamping style, videos and the music you choose for your videos, I'm sure I'd love your CD!!
Thanks for the chance!
Kristina,
I have enjoyed checking out the blog. You always have something new for me to check out. Even if it's just what is she listening to today? :o) I have to say I have enjoyed the music on all the videos. Your cards are great too! I am a frequent Amazon shopper too, but not enough to get the Prime membership. It's a good deal though. Hope you have an awesome holiday!
Paula
Kristina, you crack me up! Who doesn't love You've Got Mail?? "Don't you think daisies are the friendliest flower?"
Can't wait to check out the make-up videos! Oh, and I totally tivo Oprah every day too! Hahaha! Do I watch them all? NO...but I just feel better knowing that I CAN watch them if I need to! LOL!
I tried my first ever Harry & David pear in the store a couple weeks ago! I was shocked -- that was by far the best pear I've ever had in my life! Who knew?!
Thanks for the interesting facts!
You are awesome!! Thanks so much for the chance to win a cd!! very cool!
MERRY CHIRSTMAS!!!
Maria
Good Morning!!

Merry Christmas!!
Vickie
Can my comment be, "Oh...I hope I win!" I love your taste in music!

Morning Kristina,
I would love the chance to win a holiday cd. I play Christmas music nonstop from Thanksgiving until we take our tree down. I bet my family would appreciate hearing some fresh tunes!
You're right, Amazon is the best...I've been shopping there for years. I sound like a commercial but their prices are great too.
You are the reason I found out that Josh had a Christmas album out - so I can't wait to hear a cd of your faves. Will you post the playlist so those who don't win can see what's on it? Love your blog!
Love your facts. You are a crack up. Thanks for all of your tutorials. I have learned quite a bit from your videos. Take care and have a great day!
Love all of the facts about you, girl! Next time you're in Nashville - let me know! ;) Have a wonderful day!
PICK ME PICK ME!!!

I love your blog, and a Christmas cd give-a-way makes it even better..hee hee
Thanks, K, now I'm craving waffles too! I don't know why, but I just love Waffle House -- probably because we don't have any up here. LOVE your blog... I've got a RAK for you -- if you get a chance to email me, I'd love to send it!
Hi Kristina,
Thanks for the CD give-a-way. I visit your blog every day and LOVE the videos. Thanks for taking the time to make them for us!
Interesting artsy picture. I'm trying to figure out why you still have that one. I would have deleted it to make room on my digital card! I'm a little OCD. Sorry.....
Love all your Monday card making videos. You are a very talented gal!
LOve the missing letters in your waffle house- cute and quirky. This is the first time I've left a comment for a blog entry. Looks like tons of people are interested in the blog candy-me too.
Are you in SLC? I used to live in Sandy and still miss it. Hope the snow fills the canyons this year- we'll be at Brighton and Alta.
Happy Holidays
Love your blog!! And LOVED the song playing in the Make a Card Monday....the card was gorgeous, and the music incredible! Thanks for sharing that!
OMG! i have found someone else who has Harry & David pears on their Xmas list....my husband laughs at me each year when i put this on my list...like one of the top 3 items!!! PIck me!
I too love You've Got Mail a little too much ( I can recite the entire movie.. makes my stepdaughter nuts) AND I record Oprah everyday too :) Maybe we are realted??????? Have a great Holiday -Molly B
Ooh, I love holiday music! And I love to see what other people's favorite holiday songs are. :)
I'm right there with ya on those beauty videos! They're fab and make me think maybe I could be too!
Cool pic of the orange chairs ~ great angle. My pictures are (unfortunately) squared up. I need to jump outta that box!
I will have to check out those make up videos. I am totally behind the times with the You-Tube thing. I guess it is time for me to get "informed"!
Thanks for this chance to win and to say I LOVE your blog. You are talented and inspiring as everyone here knows, but you also keep me "young" and informed! Thanks for sharing your passion.
I love You've Got Mail entirely too much as well- I am going to check out the make up video's as I love make up! Love your blog!
Just found your blog! You are off the charts talented! Thanks so much for the videos. They rock! I'll be back for sure!
Fun! Thanks for sharing!
I love your posts!
A Great read!!
Happy Holidays!
