Hallo! I'm Vanessa! I'm 21 and I blog over at www.hellovanny.com ^_^

What is something interesting about you?
Something interestinggggg.... hmmm, well I have A LOT of hobbies! I am currently enrolled in culinary school for baking & pastry, I love taking pictures, painting, drawing, decorating. Really anything that allows me to have a creative outlet.

Why did you begin blogging?
I began blogging as way to express myself and vent. But it has turned into so much more. Now I do it as a way to journal my everyday life. It's amazing to be able to look back and see where I was 1, 2, 3 years ago!

How long have you been blogging?

I've been blogging for close to 6-7 years. I originally started out in LiveJournal and about 2 years ago moved over to an actual domain and started taking it more seriously once I got a bigger following. I love all of my readers :)

Where do you get your ideas?
Inspiration draws from everything really. I was just looking at a calendar the other day and ding! Inspiration struck so I jotted it down in my sketchbook. Seriously, everything from a calendar to what my blogging friends post, I am inspired daily by everything I see.

Do you have any advice that you want to share with fellow lady bloggers?
Don't overlook the little people! A lot of bloggers who become big tend to overlook the little people just because they don't have a lot of readers or aren't popular enough, whatever. Give the little people a chance. I actually pick the blogs I read by the quality of their posts. Not the quantity of their followers, yucky. And I cannot stress this enough, give credit where credit is due. :)

What is one thing you are looking forward to most in your future (blog
or otherwise)?
Blog wise? On the first of January 2011 I will begin my journey doing a 365 project. Which essentially means I'll be taking a picture(of myself or anything else) every day in the year of 2011. Exciting right? I hope you all will tag along on my journey! Also hopefully meeting some bloggers this year! And otherwise, graduating from school in June. I can't wait!

[Thanks, Vanessa! <3]
