Sisterhood of the World Bloggers Award

Lisa Mende announced that she had been nominated for the Sisterhood of the World Bloggers Award (SOWBA) by Holly Hollingsworth Phillips of The English Room a few days ago.  Lisa then tagged me and Kelly along with 8 other bloggers as her list of 10 nominees.

Sisterhood of the world bloggers

Thank you Lisa for nominating me!  Here is the list of questions Lisa asked me to answer!

Lisa Mende - Kandrac & Kole Blog

1.   If you could have any job besides the one you have right now, what would it be?  An interior design daytime talk show host - I would love to give viewers the real version of interior design (not the HGTV, so called "reality" version).  I would also interview designers from all over the country as well as so many I've come to call friends through industry events.

2. If you had one day completely alone how would you fill your time? I would stay home all day in my favorite pajamas, read every shelter magazine I could get my hands on and eat Costco trail mix and drink iced green tea!

3.   What is the best vacation you’ve ever taken? My first trip to Italy.  I went to Venice, Florence, Pisa, Rome and Sicily with my Mom who was born and raised there.  I did not want to leave!
