Awesome RAK! My favorite color is purple. Not many people know that when I was about 12 yo I had a nasty bike accident involving myself, a 10-speed bike, a hill & a tube-top full of red radishes!! It wasn't pretty.

Well first off, AWESOME RAK!!!! I just love close to my heart stamps and that flower is one I don't have!

My favorite color is Blue. Well more clearly all the different shade of blue in the sky.
Um... something most people wouldn't know... That is a good question. Well one thing is that I have Asthma since I was nine years old and it was getting so bad two summers ago that the doctors thought I might even have CF! Thankful I don't. It was a very bad year of Asthma for me!

Stephanie said...

daltonWhat a great rak! My favorite color is purple(currently,lol, I love ALL colors), and something people may not know about me is that I once smacked Barney! Yes, the purple dinosaur. I was at a store opening and this huge thing kinda cornered me, and before I knew it I just whaled him one,lol. It was sooo embarassing, but I panicked, and I guess it was just a gut reaction.

My favorite color is any shade of pink or grey or brown (sorry, I couldn't choose just one) and something that people may not know about me is that I have suffered from night terrors since I was 12 and have to medicate myself nightly so I don't wake up screaming or trying to run away from something that is not there.

Fun! My favorite colors are purple and pink, though not neccessarily together. Something not many people know (or even believe) is that my sis and I once found an exit door on Space Mountain that actually exits you out of Disneyland--and boy was it an adventure trying to get back in.

I Love the color purple, and not many people know that I LOVE looking at Wedding dresses (the white ones that the "english" wear...being a hutterite and dressing in blue has it's plus with being traditional, but I LOVE looking at all the different styles on others.) Bridal catalogs will keep me entertained for hours.

Congrats on the 23,000! Keep up the good work!

I don't have a favorite color. We need every color of the rainbow in order for it to be beautiful...I love ALL colors a LOT! (And many combinations of colors as well!)

Being as I didn't have an answer for the first one...I will give you 2. First, I almost died of ovarian cancer 6 years ago. I had 2 25 pound tumors removed at that time. And....I taught myself sign language with the help of a lady from church and now I interpret for the deaf at our church.

Thanks! It's been fun reading all of these!

My favorite color is pale pink.
Something most people don't know is that my wedding announcement from the newspaper was on Jay Leno. My maiden name is Hickey and my married name is Marks so Jay got a kick out of the fact that it was printed Hickey Marks. Good thing I didn't hyphenate! And, I missed Jay that night!

Anonymous said...

I'd have to say my favorite color is probably some kind of dark pink. I can't remember the exact name of this color. I also really like sky blue.

Something most people don't know about me is that when I went to Disney World I chased Minnie Mouse (I was three) all the way to her dressing room and had to be stopped by security.

Anonymous said...

My favorite color is LOUD! I love all bright colors, especially turquoise, electric blue, magenta, hot pink.....should I go on? Something most people don't know about me is my IQ ( I tested at 135). But, while I inherited Daddy's brains, sometimes I think I might have preferred Mom's metabolism- she can't GAIN weight (don't I wish!!!).

Natalie said...

Embley Veronica said...

Favorite color: purple

Something few people know about me: I sleep walk and talk. All the time. Not just a little, but like constantly. Dramatically. Yelling, eating things, drinking things, punching, kicking, typing, writing, baking, etc. all in my sleep. I yell, I scream, I laugh, I whisper, I talk normally. Sometimes with one eye open. Sometimes both, sometimes neither. I am a sleep weirdo!

Anonymous said...

Something most people don't know about me is that if I am going somewhere I have never been I have to map it. Thank goodness for satalite views. I have to see what parking will be like. I panic about it, if I can't see it. Or if I know parking can be difficult.

This is a FANTASTIC RAK!! I am just starting my stamp collection. My favorite color is yellow, which I suppose fits me since my name is Sunshine. Something most people don't know about me is that when I was four I was roasting marshmallows by a camp fire. The others decided to burn garbage in the fire and an aerosol can blew up and my pants caught on fire. I had many skin grafts done and had to learn to walk all over again. It has had a huge affect on my personality.
