Of course I’m ambitious. What’s wrong with that? Otherwise you sleep all day.
-Ringo Starr
30 in 30 is once again history, and I’m very happy to say I completed the challenge. 🙂 I started out thinking I would paint flowers the entire 30 days, but I ended up finishing out with birds, instead. Tomorrow I’ll be posting all 30 paintings in a collage, and that will be it. Done! Whew!
Here the last of the Would You Rather questions. I hope you got to know me better over the past 30 days. My husband said he did. bahahahaha He’s really gotta stop stalking me. 😉
If you’re not busy tonight, be sure to turn into Criminal Minds on CBS. You just might see my art there. Woohoo!!

I make art for one person and one person only. And as soon as I find that one person, I sure hope he has a lot of wall space, because he’ll be getting a lot of art from me. -Jarod Kintz

Here are my Would You Rather questions, so you can get to know me better during this 30 in 30 challenge..
1. Would you rather always have to say everything on your mind or never speak again?
Although it would be extremely difficult, I would pick never speak again..because I could always write what I need to say. I don’t think anyone could deal with me saying everything on my mind. haha Noooooo!!
2. Would you rather always get first dibs or the last laugh?
first dibs
3. Would you rather have a missing finger or have an extra toe?
extra toe. fingers are too important.

Draw the art you want to see, start the business you want to run, play the music you want to hear, write the books you want to read, build the products you want to use – do the work you want to see done. -Austin Kleon
My husband and I were talking about the 30/30 challenge last night, and he said he can tell I’m running out of steam because I started out writing long blog posts, but now, nothing. haha He’s right. The high energy I had when I first started the 30/30 challenge is long gone, and now all I can think about is taking a day or two off to recharge. I’m such an introvert at heart.

Too cold, most definitely.
3. Would you rather be able to eat anything and any quantity of food with no negative health effects, or be refreshed and well rested after only three hours of sleep?
I’ll have everything on the dessert menu, please.

Don’t wait for a light to appear at the end of the tunnel, stride down there and light the bloody thing yourself.
Sara Henderson
🙂 Yes!! Only 12 days to go. It’s always about this time in the challenge that I start counting the days, and looking for that light at the end of the tunnel. Even before the challenge started, I was thinking about my blog schedule coming up this fall. It has been a loooong summer, and at times, I struggled to keep up the pace. I’ve been blogging nearly every day for a couple years now, and I’m a bit burnt out. Not only that, but blogging is time consuming, and I’ve got a few different projects I need to work on. Starting in October, I’ll be cutting back to 2 to 4 days a week, and I’m (really really) looking forward to a break.

Here are my Would You Rather questions, so you can get to know me better during this 30 in 30 challenge..
1. Would you rather spend a night with no money on the streets of Pittsburgh or spend the same night in a house that is reported to be haunted?
Nothing against Pittsburgh, but I’d pick the ghosts.
2. Would you take up smoking for $30,000?
Sure! Then, I’d quit the next day.
3. Would you rather go on vacation anywhere in the world for one week or spend 24 hours with anyone in the world but be unable to leave your house during that time?
I would stay home, if I could see my grandmother, and mother one more time.

Well, art is art, isn’t it? Still, on the other hand, water is water! And east is east and west is west and if you take cranberries and stew them like applesauce they taste much more like prunes than rhubarb does. Now, uh… now you tell me what you know. -Groucho Marx
Here are my Would You Rather questions, so you can get to know me better during this 30 in 30 challenge..
1. Would you rather have an ordinary home in an extraordinary location or an extraordinary home in an ordinary location?
I’ll take the ordinary location.
2. Would you rather be able to lie without being caught or always be able to tell when someone is lying?
I don’t have anything to lie about, so I’d like to know when someone’s lying to me.
3. Would you rather have an extra hour every day or have $40 given to you free and clear every day?
I’ll take the 40 bucks.

Only put off until tomorrow what you are willing to die having left undone
-Pablo Picasso
Here are my Would You Rather questions, so you can get to know me better during this 30 in 30 challenge..
1. Would you rather be a highly paid professional athlete or serve as the president of a prestigious university?
I like sports, so I’d be an athlete.
2. Would you rather have a home with a great living room or a great back yard?
Living room. I don’t spend much time outside in the yard because of my allergies.
3. Would you rather spend one month living without using any money or spend 3 months in a wheelchair?
Three months in a wheelchair would be really difficult. I wouldn’t be able to get upstairs to my studio, and watching Netflix would get old after a couple hours. It would be hard, but I’d pick not spending money. I could always stock up ahead of time to make it easier. I work from home, so I don’t need gas money.
