Congratulations to our first Member Spotlight victim!

~~ Kelly ~~




Hope you have a wonderful week!​

:blobpink::blobmir::blobmul::blobblue::blobpink::blobmir::blobmul::blobblue:​


OK, here are the ground rules.

Do not get too personal in your questions. Internet privacy is always a concern, so no addresses, full names, etc.

Kelly is concerned about getting overwhelmed with questions, so we are going to limit it to 6 questions at a time, please.

At the end of the week Kelly will choose the next member, and after checking with them to see if they are willing, will start the next spotlight thread on March 8th.

These rules may get tweaked as we go along. :lol3: We have had problems with the Spotlight dying out before, so let's see if we can keep it going this time. :)


So here we go!!!!!

Hello Kelly and hope you enjoy your week! :wavey:


I know you recently lost your job. What were you doing and did you enjoy it? If you could choose a profession, what would it be?

Myself and 10 of my TCS friends just dropped by your house for dinner. What will be eating? Is the house clean? What is Angel doing?

LOL! "Here we go!"

I was the office manager at a Re-Bath showroom.  I did like it, because it was very laid back, & worked with some great guys!  BUT, it was a dead end job, & because there wasn't always a lot of work for me all of the time, I didn't see raises in my future.
 In fact, last year, after I had been there a year, instead of giving me an hourly raise, They did a bonus program w/ me, where I got 1% of the sales total for each month. So, when we had a good month, I got as much as 100.00 extra! But on a bad month, only 35.00-40.00.  I think in the long run, over all, it was probably better than an hourly, if you split the difference over the months.


If I could choose any profession what would it be? 
 Hmmmm, not sure. Because my background is in massage & aesthetics, I always used to think it would be great to open a day spa, but in a big old historical house. I even thought I would have a ingredient pantry there for the aestheticians, to create custom mask, etc.. for people. (I have a catalog that has different kinds of clay, herbs, etc.. in bulk).

BUT, I don't know that I'd want to deal w/ employees & the headaches of owning a business. I would need someone for that part of it, while I managed the creative side of it! (To many day spas in this small town already though!)

*I also like to make my own products like bath salts (I created 9 different blends!)  but essential oils get expensive, if you don't have the extra money to replenish them.  I have made custom blends for friends as gifts.

If the market were better & I had money, I also think flipping houses would be fun, as long as there wasn't a lot to be done to them, sense there's no man in the picture to help me.

I would also work with animals if my heart could take some of the sadness that comes along w/ it, but I'm to tender hearted!!

Dinner huh? Let's see, I like to make a lot of things. Maybe salmon & boc choy in garlic & ginger, along with some cous cous or something.

OR, being half Italian, it could be lasagna (w/ turkey of course, no beef here) I also make a pretty good homemade pizza, as my friends tell me.

Yes, the house would be clean. I am a little bit of a neat freak. Not to extrema, but I feel better when everything is neat, & cleaning is done, then I can relax.

Mr.Angel is currently sitting in the chair, grooming.

Hi Kelly! 


Wow, looks like you like cooking. What is your favorite food? What was the first dish you ever cooked? 

It's fantastic that you make your own beauty products.  What is your favorite scent? Where do you get the inspiration for your creations?

And then about Mr. Angel. Does he like posing for pictures? What's the story behind his name?

Good morning, Kelly!

Do you (or would you) like to garden?

Which would you prefer, vegetables or flower gardening?

Do you have room for a garden?

What's your favorite flower?

Do you like to keep fresh flowers in your house or does Mr. Angel use your flowers as lunch (we can't have cut flowers in the house; we have very bad kitties who think flowers mean food!).

Hi!   It's hard to pick a favorite food, because I like so much!  I guess it just depends on what I'm in the mood for at the moment.

I'm not sure I can even remember the first dish I ever cooked. Probably something simple like spaghetti. With an Italian dad, that was usually Sunday dinner.

Favorite scent, hmm, lots of those too. I think it changes depending on what season it is, but standby fav.s are, sandalwood, neroli, vanilla, & rose. I will sometimes put drops of essential oils of these on my arms & blend them all together. It's a nice blend.  I think mt inspiration comes from many things. The essential oils themselves. What ea. one is good for therapeutically & if they smell good together. etc..

I have made individual custom blends for friends as  gifts. I had a massage client who she & her family had become regulars & felt like family. She broke her clavicle WHILE she was pregnant! She was having such a hard time, she couldn't do much, so she was a little depressed. I made up a special bath salts blend for her that was for depression. She loved it, & it made me feel good to give that to her.

Angel does pretty good w/ me taking his picture. I'm sure he gets annoyed w/ me though, because I am always doing it!  If he could he would probably say, "Enough, paparazzi momma!"


The story behind his name is that he came to me out of nowhere on a day that I was very sad, & needed some TLC, so he was/is my little angel.  He curled up in my lap & purred away. Tears ran down my face. I truly believe he was "sent" to me! 
  AND, I thought HE was a she for the first year! oops!

(that's the short version!)

Thanks!  I tried the next year, & didn't get half of what I got that year. (I think i planted a little later)   Now that I'm home, I'll have to try again this year. I should probably plant at the end of this month. I'll have to see how the weather is going.  Early next month, at the latest!

(There's a garden album on my profile page, if anyone wants to see more).

(I just found this thread...)

I'll play, I'll ask questions :)

What is your favorite kind of coffee--which which country?

Flavored or unflavored (coffee)?

What is the one (or 2, or 3) things you know about cats now that you wished you knew way back when.

You mentioned your background was in massage--did you take any courses?  (The woman who rescued Ritz is/was my massage therapist and now accupunturist.)

1. If you could have a super power for one day what would if be?  To be able to heal.

2. If you won 1million What would you do with it? First pay off all my bills, buy a new car, buy (&furnish) a house, give my parents a good amount, because they have helped me so much. I would also give my sister some, & set up trust for my niece & nephew for when they turned 30, so they will be smarter w/ it by then. (they are 17 & 19). And so much more, travel etc..

3. If you were a dinosaur what would you be? LOL! I have no idea. Prob. one of those gentle tree eating ones.


4. What be the one country you would visit if money was no object? Europe! Mainly Italy & France!

5. Are you a cocktail girl, beer girl or tee totaller? Cocktail & wine (sulfate free wine, or Lambrusco)
