Giveaway {Good Frau}

I'm more than thrilled to introduce you to Emily of 'Good Frau'... She designs simple, eye-catching custom invitations, cards and birth announcements... Emily has graciously offered this week's winner ANY digital design plus twenty 5x7 prints or thirty 4x6 prints... A value of $50 + shipping! Isn't that fantastic?

Emily has taken the time to answer a few questions:
What does a perfectly ordinary day in your life look like?
"I get up and "check my stuff," which includes my e-mail, Facebook, Google Reader and a couple news sites. Then I work on whatever Etsy stuff I have to work on until my 3-year-old wakes up. Many days include a trip to the "print store" as we call it around here, to either look at proofs or pick up completed orders, or both. Otherwise, I just hang out with my cute kid."

What time of year most inspires you?
"I always love Spring because it means winter is far away! But I might choose fall if it didn't mean winter was on its way. I am looking forward to the crisp air and all the fun things that go on in the fall. I really feel like going to a football game. Any football game."

What do you think of as comfort food?
"Mashed potatoes and gravy. And when I am pregnant, Spaghettios."

If you could hop on a plane, without giving one thought to your budget, where would you go? 
"North Carolina - Outer Banks. I have lots of family there, but I haven't been since I was a teenager. I love it there so much and I really want my husband and my little boy to see where my family is from."

What are five things you would like to do in the next five years? 
"1. Have another baby (in process).
2. Get my own professional printer so I can have more control over my business (right now I have them printed at a local shop, and they do a really great job, but it would be nice to be able to just print them up and send them when I get print orders)
3. Take more Zumba classes and maybe even learn to be an instructor (after #1 is accomplished).
4. A Mediterranean cruise would be nice!
5. And I want to be skinnier in my 30s than I was in my 20s. :)"
