What's this blog about anyway?? with *Kickoff Contest**

Alright readers, I wanted to do a fun introductory so you can get to know about  me and  my blog and I can find out who you are! Also, I really wanted a unique graphic for my blog. I wanted something original and something that will represent my blog well.

Hi, I'm Britt, this is my fiancée Brett and my son Zane.

Anything you want to know about me, just send me a 

message or post your question in a comment and I'll be

happy to share, but I won't bore you with the usual introduction.

I'll just start with 10 facts:

• My mom and my 5 sisters are the best friends that I will ever have.
• I love to try out new crafts and diy projects. Check out my sisters great diy blog if you share our passion http://thedoityourselfdiva.blogspot.com
• My guilty pleasure is some good trashy television.
• I love to do pilates, yoga, and zumba!
• Currently the biggest obstacle in my life is trying to "get over" my dad's sudden death last year.
• Music is my weakness. I can easily get lost in Mozart, Incubus, Mumford and Sons, The Beatles, Lady Gaga, etc. I'll listen to anything once.
• This is my first blog and I'm actually really feeling good about it so far.
• I adore Audrey Hepburn, her acting, her philanthropy, and her love of life.
• My New Years Resolution was to be more reliable to everyone I love.
• On a normal day you would catch me wearing a band tshirt, jeans, and my Vans. But sometimes for no reason at all I just love getting all dolled up.

Here's a little blurb about the focus of my first blog. I'm not limiting my posts to this but it will be primarily what to expect.


Retro Treasures is mainly going to be focused on the memories that are sparked from my childhood while raising my son. As my son, Zane, grows more and more each day I often find myself thinking back to all the things I loved and enjoyed when I was his age. I wanted to document all these memories as a keepsake for myself and Zane. And I thought that starting a blog would be the best way to do that because not only is it a great way to compile ideas but it's also a way to to fondly look back on the good times that were had with the blogging community!


So here is what the contest will be. For you readers to design a graphic for Retro Treasures and when you submit your graphic also tell me 10 interesting things about you starting with your favorite movie/toy/tv show from your childhood. I will pick the best graphic and and when I put it up I will post a blog about the winner and their childhood favorites! I have no rules, with the exception of keeping things appropriate. The deadline will be February 17th...until then Happy Blogging!
