Here is mine.

Favorite hobby- Gardening, but I don't get to do it as often as I used to. I absolutely love cutting our lawn, not interested in hiring a gardener! I love the smell of a fresh cut lawn and the satisfaction of seeing it so neatly cut!

Favorite song- I pretty much like anything from the seventies except Creedance Clearwater Revival. I really love Abba's "Dancing Queen"!

Name 2 or 3 jobs you have had in the past:

Interior designer for a model home firm.

Horseshoer (farrier)

Grocery store clerk

What do you like best about yourself- My budding/growing passion and obedience for the Lord.

Favorite hobby: Newly it is sewing. But I also like painting my house, faux stencil you name it if it doesn't move it is going to get painted. Also love to bake bread pastry and yummy stuff. If you saw me you would have the visual on that because I like to eat yummy stuff too hahaha!

Favorite song: Having a hard time coming up with one. I like lots of music and my favorite song kind of changes all the time.

What do you like best about yourself: I guess that I am what you see is what you get. That is my biggest cause of getting me into trouble though, so maybe what I like about me is not really what others like. :roll:
But can I just say that I really loved Dorla's answer! :lol: I mean if you have wild hair really what else do you really need!
