20 Questions with the Ladies of Bea's Book Nook!

3. WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST BLOG-RELATED PET PEEVE?
Steph: Rafflecopter contests with a billion things in them.

6. WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE ETSY SHOP?
Steph: What's Etsy?
Bea: Steph! Have you been on the moon the past few years? I don't spend much time on there but my fave would have to be Fiber Space Creations.

7. WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE WAY TO SPEND YOUR FREE TIME WHEN YOU’RE ALONE?
Steph: I have a 4 year old, I am NEVER alone. lol.
Bea: Take off  my day clothes, including bra, put on my jammies and read or watch a movie or show on NetFlix.

    1. Everyone should watch Monty Python. We actually watched Monty Python and the Holy Grail in one of my high school history classes. I had the best teachers.
