2. Your hobbies
3. Your home colours/decor/themes
4. Your favourite things
5. Things you hate

1. Your family (FH/DH, kids, pets)
2. Your hobbies
3. Your home colours/decor/themes
4. Your favourite things
5. Things you hate

1: Was married on 10/5 but have lived with my FH for 4 years, we dated for 3 years before that so we have been together FOREVER. We live in our own home with our 2 cats - but Im not a crazy cat lady :D

2. Hobbies right now are mostly photography related as I have a fancy schmany new digital cam and a new found interest in the stuff the photoshop can do. A home improvement/decor is a big hobby for me now.

3. My home is very small but the general decor is dark wood, leather and rich fabrics like velvet. Most things in my house are earthy colors but I like to use a litte deep red to accent.

4. Hmmm..this is a hard one..must come back. Edited to say I dont think I have favorite things - isnt that terrible?

5. Pretty much what most girls love...i dont like seashell soaps or floral patterns or children dressed like adults. I dont have a curio cabinet and I dont collect nick knacks. Oh and I dont eat any sort of nut. :P

HMMMM *scratches head*

1. Just us chickens, me DH & our son (16)

2. exercising and volunteering, reading, shopping

3. Our walls are tan, we have framed pix on our walls, we have a wood and silver thing going on

4. sugar, butter, fried plantains, milo, condensed milk, cornflakes....oh, you did not mean like that...I like frames, smelly stuff, pens (fine point) gospel music, Neal Diamond, I like MAC Lipglass and Lip laquer, Gerbers and Sunflowers and yellow roses. Did I already say, there is a lack of 5*5 Frames in my home LOL

5. I hate lying and insincere people and dishonesty, oops there I go again. Things I do not like...HMMMM this is hard, I hate fruits in my cake, LOL, I hate people eating out of my plate. There is not much that I don't like.

1. Your family (FH/DH, kids, pets) ~ just my DH, me and my 2 guinnea pigs... Molly and Maggie (once class pets, but now they live with us).

2. Your hobbies ~ well, since we bought a house in July and are in the middle of major construction, trying to find my sanity. Other than that, my DH and I love to go out east for wine tasting (ok, we're not snobs, anytime I say this, I get funny looks. We just love the laid back picnics in the vineyards.)
.
3. Your home colours/decor/themes ~ we are still in the middle of decorating. Our kitchen is old world tuscan with a pale yellish wall. I don't know what you can do with this. I'm still deciding on the rest of my decor. We don't have nay finished rooms as of yet. Hopefully soon!

4. Your favourite things~ christmas. We're an interfaith couple (as many of you are) and are just starting our ornament collection. I also love candles, need picture frames for my 5x5 proofs (or album), love wine, cooking, exercising (ok, so I've never been good at this category. Hope I gave you enough ideas!)

5. Things you hate~ anything pastel. But not much else! I will probably think of other things to put down later. If so, I will edit.

Picnics in the vineyards sound so nice...not snobby at all. Hubby and I have our picnic basket. When we booked with Old Westbury Garden they invited us there for a day to picnic. We never made it.

5. Things you hate

1. DH and I were married this past June, we've been living together for 4 years. We are expecting our first baby next June!! We don't have any pets.

2. My hobbies include reading novels (mostly Oprah book club-type), quilting by hand, cooking, and anything to do with pregnancy/babies.

3. Hmmm... on this one since we're hopefully moving to a bigger co-op in March. We're waiting for the contract, but they accepted our offer. My taste is too keep rooms simple, neutral and earthy colors, nothing too modern, don't like black much for decor. I like country/victorian themes a lot. We have a big family, so lots of frames with the kids pics in them. Since my family is Indian, we have many things in our home that are from my culture.

4. Candles, anything baby-related, cool household gadgets, fresh flowers and plants, and pretty christmas ornaments (DH and I are still beginning our collection). Oh, I love to drink a glass of red wine (when I'm not pg), listen to jazz music, light candles, and read a good book!!

5. Things that are not practical, take up too much room or are 'dust collectors'. I am also NOT a chocolate eater (believe or not) and I'm allergic to eggs and peanuts!!

1.It’s just me and my hubby Enzo and we have 2 baby turtles (red ear sliders) Cuffs & Link.

2.Right now I am working with my wedding photos and trying new things with Photoshop. First of learning Photoshop. I am also trying to get together our new apartment we moved into.

3.Dark wood and mostly neutral colors.

4.Have to think about this one…Oh yeah...I LOVE Chocolate.

5.Anything over decorated with ugly bows, laces and anything that looks like my grandmother would of worn or purchased. I am really simple and I don’t like anything overdone. Still thinking…

Im going to email LIweddings and ask for their help.

In the meantime, can everyone send me their:

a)LI weddings user name
b)Real name
c)Email Address
d)Real Address

1. Its just me and my DH John

2. I love to ski, read, decorate, sew, garden

3. We will be moving next month and the only rooms I am sure of are the bedroom - that will stay a light earthy green and our family room, which will be earth tones. Oh yeah the basement will be done in typical basement game room style.

4. Your favourite things- pampering stuff in natural sents, keepsake things, wine, christmas ornements

5. Things you hate overly frilly stuff, bad people

Thanks Latina, I just sent the email

1) My DH Scott and I got married on 11/2. We are moving to our new home in mid-January and live with our precious little Beemer Kitty.
2. I love to read (on my commute into NYC), ccok/bake, just starting to do scrapbooking. I also take a ceramic class. I like to learn new craft projects. I also love to garden.
3. We are moving in mid-January and I am just trying to figure this all out. I love earth tones (deep plums, greens, browns). I also like silver fixtures over gold tones. I have Butterfly meadow everyday dishes and Noritake Enhancement china. I don't do pink or sky blue in anyrooms.
4. My favorite things are my family and friends, my kitty, my teddy bear that I have had since I was 6 months old.
