The Green Girl 'Tagged' - 11 Random Things

The Green Girl was thoughtfully 'tagged' by Lauren from Lauren on the Run and Kate from See.Kate.Run for a random meme.

Thank you, Lauren and Kate!

  4. Create 11 new questions for the people you tag to answer.

I'm going to go ahead and break these rules by choosing to ignore the last three.

  2. I love the fact that you have little furniture. As a mom, I immediately think of how easy it must be to keep clean.

    And the duct tape is very interesting. A friend of my daughter's makes jewelry and wallets out of duct tape. Who knew??

  7. I bet my golden retriever could win you over! She's the sweetest little animal you would ever meet in your life! Or she would just lick you to death and annoy the hell out of you. LOL.

    Duct tape? WTH? I have a friend whose daughter makes duct tape pens and duct tape flip flops. NO joke, but the flip flops are quite comfy!
