What a wonderful Friday!

I can't believe it! Today I am the featured blogger at The Secret is in the Sauce. Welcome to everyone stopping by for the first time and to everyone that has visited before. I discovered SITS shortly after I started blogging, a little less than a year ago, and have met so many wonderful women in this group. I'm so glad you are here and want to tell you a little about myself, but first, have you ever found yourself in a friend's house looking at what's on their refrigerator? I love to do that, and always think it is a great way to learn a little bit about someone. You can see where they have been, what they use to look like, or how silly they can be.

My refrigerator doors are a glimpse into my life just like my blog. They are full of some of my favorite photographs from trips, postcards from friends, recipes for inspiration and my magnets. I started making my own magnets after I made a huge magnet board for my living room and couldn't find any magnets that I liked. I make a few different types, but here are some glass pebble ones that I made last week.
I'm a 30 year old, scarf loving, globe trekking, kickboxing, inspiration seeking girl. My favorite quote is “It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters, in the end.”

Recently I took a 5 week trip to India and traveled around on my own. Because of my blog I made a wonderful connection in India before I left and was invited to visit a school in a small town which turned into three of the best days of my trip! Here I am dancing on stage at the school assembly I attended. I had no idea what I was doing but had the time of my life!
Here are a few of my favorite posts:
A great crafty photo project - Take your photos with you...
A funny true story - Attention customers
And a funny post about traveling in India - Warnings


I also do a post called Wednesday Wonderfuls most Wednesdays where I feature different artists and their wonderful creations. These are always full of some wonderful things I have found recently.


Since I love to travel I'd love to know where everyone is coming from. If you leave a comment here please let me know where you are visiting from!


I hope you will look around a bit and maybe find some wonderful inspiration for yourself! I am always looking for inspiration in the world and hope to inspire you today.

Hi! I am from Missouri.

I tend to look inside the refrigerator instead of on it.

Next time I will look at the door before I go straight for the goodies!

Congrats on SITS!!!

Congratulations on your SITS day.
My refrigerator is very sad :(
I use to have magnets and photos top to buttom. The frig in my new house won't hold them so it is empty and plain. I miss it so much.
We are planning on doing a metal sheet for the wall so I can put all my magnets out on display. It is a collection I have had for over 20 years.

Amanda @ It's Blogworthy said...

Happy SITS day!! You and I think the same way. I love magnets on my fridge because I feel like it gives people a glimpse into your personality. You wouldn't put up a magnet you didn't like! Mine include magnets shaped like food, sports schedules, and "The Office" magnets! Looking forward to reading more

I have funny magnets on my fridge...a variety of eyes, noses, and chins. You take the magnets and place them over your friends' faces in photos...HYSTERICAL! Always a great conversation topic for visitors.

I was so excited to open SITS this morning and find out that they were featuring someone that had been to India.

I lived there for 5 years--in Mumbai plus 4 other cities including Bhopal. And get this--I was there during the gas leak! My parents were missionaries there.

You can believe that I will be reading all your India posts! So excited!

Hi Debbie-
You are very inspiring. What an adventure to trek thru India by yourself. Sounds like it was a terrific trip. I am going to show your blog to my 22 year old daughter who is leaving for Africa next week with the Peace Corps. She is getting a little anxious now because she knows no one. I keep telling her that will only be temporary. I hope you are having an enjoyable SITS day.

Debbie,

Your blog is awesome, mama! You kind of remind me of one of my favorite authors, Liz Gilbert (Eat, Pray, Love). She went to India, too, so that's the first association I made. ;o)

Congratulations on your SITS day!
