I don’t write a lot of super personal things on Imperfectly Happy. It isn’t that I don’t want you to know, but I figure there are more interesting things to talk about. lol But as we wrap up 2015 and I’m 2 and half years into this blog I thought you might want to know a bit more about me. So I put together this list of random things/facts about me. So let’s start with a freebie fact…the picture on the left is the character I’ve used for the blog from the start. She is the creation of my niece, a gifted artist. She some of my features (before I cut all my hair off) with aspects I wanted in to create her. The one on the right is me…earlier this year.
Alright…let’s get this party started.
20 Things About Me
