Donations for Katie: Thanks for chatting with us! First, why don't you tell us a little about yourself.
Tara: Well, I'm a college graduate turned SAHM.
DfK: How did you get started blogging on Dandy Giveaway?
T: There are lots of blogs out there that do giveaways, so I'm definitely not the first. People have been after me for a while to write a children's book since they like my writing style in our family blog. I thought that would be way too time consuming, so I decided to stick with the blog format. However, I do now have that children's book in the works and currently shopping it around to different publishers. :) I've really grown to love advertising for various companies and shops despite the fact that my degree is not in advertising. After all, I have a B.A. in Psychology! Possibly all of my time spent writing college papers has helped with the advertising, though. :)
DfK: How do you find and choose the businesses you feature?
T: I mainly look for things that the followers of the blog will be interested in. Items for themselves (women primarily) and children.
DfK: Where do you get your inspiration?
T: I like to try and find the good in everything. From my About Section of the blog: Why dandelions? Well, they were my late grandfather's favorite flower. That's right...he didn't view them as being a weed, but rather a beautiful plant! While others would become frustrated with how they overtook their perfect, green grass he delighted in their appearance. He would always regret having to mow them down, but they were hardy plants that would grow right back and spread across the lawn. I'm sure that his next door neighbors always loved how he was willing to share his dandelions with their lawns! :) Thanks Boompa for teaching me that all things in life can be just dandy.
DfK: What made you decide to support Katie through this auction?
T: I first learned about Katie through my advertising for Bella Bejeweled. Last summer was spent primarily taking care of my Nana who also has Lymphoma; taking her to doctors appointments, treatments, etc. So this type of cancer to particularly close to my heart. Nana's brain tumor is expected to be fully gone in the coming months. I now want to help others in any way that I can, so they know that it is possible to fight this and win. If a 75 year old woman can then anyone can!
DfK: Anything you'd like to say to Katie directly?
T: Stay strong! You can beat this! Even though it's hard...try and look for the positives in things. You have great friends who are doing this auction for you. That is a major positive. Take care of yourself!
