Ultimate Blog Party.

Howdy! My name is Brooke. I’ve only had a blog since about November (not including MySpace… I had one there for a few years before I started this one), so I’m still trying to find my voice in the blogging community. Please check out the “Peeps I Like” section… there are some awesome people out there blogging. And leave me a comment and I’ll check out your blog, because I love finding new reads.I love to laugh. Posts in which I mention peeing my pants can be found here, here, here and here. What’s funny about this is I haven’t peed my pants since I was like five years old… I’m always afraid I’m going to when I laugh really hard, but I’ve been fortunate so far. And for that I am truly thankful.
I love purses. I’ve owned well over 200 in my lifetime… at one point I owned over 70 at the same time. I also like to make purses, so in addition to all the ones I’ve purchased, I have a number that I’ve made myself.
I have verbal diarrhea (but only when I’m typing. In person, I’m very much a quiet person). Sometimes I ramble and ramble and ramble until I realize that a post is way too long for most humans to read in one sitting, and I have to force myself to quit it. Hopefully this post won’t end up that way…
I love my family. My brother and sister-in-law are having a baby in July, and it’s going to be a girl! I’m excited to be an auntie. I live at home again, and it’s been pretty nice. I’ve had some periods of quasi-depression when I think too hard about the fact that I’m 26 and I am back in my parents house, but really… it’s been a pretty great experience as a whole. I get to spend a lot of time with my sister (nicknamed Smalls around these parts), and my life is pretty chill.
I like to make stuff. I have my own website and an Etsy shop where my handmade things can be purchased. I also love to do custom earrings, beanies, magnets, etc. If you see something you like anywhere in those two locations that you’d rather have in a different color, or if you’d just like to tweak the style a little, or if you want something completely unique, please feel free to contact me here or here or in a conversation on Etsy.
My top three prize picks: #109, 117 & 114. I also like prizes #53, 59, 79, 21. Ooh… and 107. Hook me up with that Starbucks card. I swear I’m done adding now. Sorry. …Aaaaand #112, 116, & 119. Done for reals now. I promise.
Thanks for stopping by, and enjoy the other parties here.

I liked your post and went back and read several others and I agree that you’re witty! :-)
I’ve never made a purse but I’m going to try. I found some patterns online that look pretty easy and I have some really cute fabric. I failed home ec (well, not really, but at the end while everyone else made outfits, I was “allowed” to make placemats) but I can sew enough to piece quilts.
I did the traditional quilt thing for a while, but now I’m into art quilts. It’s so much more my speed because with art quilts, it doesn’t matter if the points match!
I’ll be back to visit ’cause you’re funny and I like funny blogs.

So happy to meet you! I also LOVE to laugh : ) It’s one of my favorite past times. Peeing my pants, not so much. My daughter peeing on my pants…also not so much (happened yesterday, true story!). Hope you can stop by my place.

Hey! We have a lot in common! I like to laugh, tend to write way-to-long posts, and also lived with my parents when I was 26. (Don’t worry- I think everyone moves back in at one time or another). Congrats on being an aunt. I’ll be back to see how it turns out for you!

Funny blog!! :) I say “Peeing my pants” often too LOL!! Don’t feel bad about moving into your parents house - but if they “ground” you, you might want to rethink it :) Every one of my sibs moved back in with the folks at some point, for a short spell, during our twenties - you’re in good company…

I love purses too! I love them so much I used them to decorate my twins’ room.
I’m glad you stopped by Talking Hairdryer. Stop back by and see the progress we’ve made on our office makeover. I just posted about Day 3.
Have fun partying!

Good luck with your etsy store - those heat packs look pretty and I bet they feel nice … I think I might have to add one to my wishlist ;-)

Hi there! Happy Blog Party! Can’t wait to get to know you better. I’ll definitely be back after all the party hopping has worn me out!

smtwngrl’s last blog post..Who Made the Difference?
By smtwngrl on Mar 11, 2008
Hi! This may sound random, but what size jeans do you wear? I have a brand new pair I was going to sell on ebay (nice designer ones) but I’d rather give them to someone who could use a pair rather than someone who’s going to be buying them off me for 30 bucks. It’s a long shot, but hey, we may be the same size!
