It was so so fun reading your questions!  I love doing posts like that.  The variety of questions was really fun.  Let me get started.

Brooke asked: How many blog posts have you done all together?
244, counting this one.  It's been great fun!

Lucy asked: What initially got you interested in graphic design? And how far do you intend to go with it?
This might take a little while.  I guess I've always enjoyed creative things, ever since I was very young.  Eventually that led me to try things in the computer, like making simple greeting cards in Microsoft Publisher.  But what got me into design as I know it now was actually my English class.  In 7th grade, there was an extra credit opportunity to design a newspaper with the news articles all the people in the class had written.  I jumped on it and I loved doing it!  I think it was shortly after that when I got into digital scrapbooking.  I would download tons of free graphics and play around with them in Microsoft Word.  One Christmas, I decided to use my skills to offer free Christmas photo cards to some friends.  That was my first "client work."  And then you could say the rest is history... I got Photoshop Elements, kept on designing, upgraded my software, started my business, and here I am.


As for the future and where I want to go with it, I'm not really sure.  I'm definitely considering a college degree and career in graphic design, but I'm not positive whether or not that's what God has for me.  I would like to keep Carrie Anne Design going as long as I can, but it will all depend on what God's plans are - we'll see!  Regardless of how things end up though, I think I'll always love design as a hobby.


Meghan asked: What is your favorite kind of ice cream?  Or just desserts.
What a great question!  I love pretty much any ice cream that involved chocolate and peanut butter.  But cookies and cream is another favorite, and chocolate chip cookie dough... as for other desserts, I'd have to say brownies and peanut butter pie.

Chichi asked: What are you going to major in?
In short: I don't know yet.  I love graphic design and I love writing, so I'd love to combine those two things somehow but I don't know if or how that would pan out.  But possible majors would be graphic design, communications, English, and journalism.  I'm hoping to narrow those down in the near future!

Anna asked: If you had a chance to make something happen in the future, what would it be?
I think the top thing would be seeing someone come to know Jesus.  But of course that would not be me making it happen - it would be all God!  I'd love to be able to watch that, though.  

Stephen asked: What are your favorite things to do?
Graphic design, photography, blogging, writing, spending time with friends, scrapbooking, and playing games.  And sometimes reading.

Thanks again for your questions, everyone!  This was fun!
