Ack! Did you formspring.me?

Ok, so my Formspring.me box on the side of my site has been taking questions from all of you but it was not sending the emails like it was supposed to. Today I got a notification email from them and went to sign in and answer it and found that I have 15 messages in my inbox. ACK!

So I thought I’d sit down and answer them, but right now the entire service is acting like a bit of a PITA and keeps having errors. I apologize for not answering your questions – probably makes me seem like a big jerk, doesn’t it? I’ll answer them here and hope that the services goes back up later so I can add the answers in there, also.

Q: What font did you use for the word “inspiration” in your most recent post? I LOVE your new kit, too!

A: This question was actually asked multiple times.  The font is “Miss Fitzpatrick” and you can pick it up at MyFonts.com here: http://new.myfonts.com/search/Miss+Fitzpatrick/fonts/

Q: I can’t find your products at catscrap? Where do you sell them now?

A: I’ve joined the wonderful team of designers over at OScraps now – come check me out!

Q: I NEED your TOU…. please tell me you are S4H??? Or open to licenses???

A: Currently all of my products are for personal use only and can’t be used in any manner that generates revenue. I don’t have a S4H/S4O license available at this time and I’d honestly have to ask around and find out more about what that would entail. I’ll check into it, though!

Q: I’m a new fan… love all your new things on oscraps. I was wondering if I could ask what font you used with that cute bubble pic in the yellow tape frame? I love it!!!

A: That is my MOST used handwritten journaling type font, Pea Devon from www.kevinandamanda.com. I love this font, I abuse and overuse this font. What I really love about it is that even at 12pt it’s still really easy to read. It’s a magic font!

Q: What’s your favorite food to cook simply because you enjoy the part of getting to eat it afterwards?

A: This is a new favorite and I keep telling everyone I know about this recipe because it’s so easy (20 minutes?) and SO good: Spaghetti with Artichoke Hearts and Tomatoes by Pioneer Woman. You should make some right now! I’ve tinkered with this recipe a half-dozen different ways, too. Like the other day we purchased some really beautiful asparagus spears down at our local farmer’s market so I added those to the mix and then served the entire thing over lobster ravioli. There’s really no way you can go wrong, swap out the pastas, add different veggies – it’s a 4-star recipe every way I’ve tried it.

Q: How did you get the name Peppermint? Were your parents hippies? Ice cream lovers? What’s the story??

A: My parents were not hippies – my mom is one of the squarest people you’ll ever meet, actually. She’s never smoked in her life, she drinks “cocktails” and she uses cloth napkins at dinner. I have an older sister named Cynnamon and with a name like that they had to name the second child something unique, too. It was my paternal grandmother who suggested Peppermint, from what was written in my baby book. If I had been a boy I would have been Travis – so a Y chromosome apparently earns you a ticket to a mainstream name.

Those of you who asked me specific questions, I’ll be emailing you as soon as I get the chance!
