Happy Thursday!
In the South…
*Giveaway below*
I’ve lived in the South my whole life, and honestly I’ve only been out of the South a handful of times! I would love to live up North at some point just to experience it, but I’ve heard some interesting things about the differences between the North and South.
In the South… we wave, nod our head, make eye contact, or say hello to everyone we pass on a run or walk.
In the South… we ask everyone, EVERYONE, where they are from, because we assume it’s a small world and we probably know someone they know and we love making connections
In the South… we aren’t afraid to fry anything! I, personally, don’t eat a lot of fried foods, but we have fried Twinkies (maybe not anymore, sorry Hostess), fried oreos, fried pickles, fried tomatoes, I’ve actually tried to fry cucumbers, talk about taking some healthy and fattening it up!
In the South… we say y’all… A LOT! I know it’s kind of our “staple word” but it makes a lot of sense.
In the South… we can’t host an event without preparing a ton of food and when we go to an event, we tend to expect food. You want a lot of people to come to a gathering, just say there will be free pizza!
In the South… we are not very diverse within a community, still. We still have majority black and white churches and black and white towns. We still have a good bit of racism down here too.
*Disclaimer: I’m not racist at all, this is just a general statement*
In the South… we only consider Southerners to be from the following states: Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, and Georgia.
*Disclaimer: maybe that’s just me*
In the South… we like our Tea sweet and when we go to a state and order sweet tea and they don’t have it, we think they’re crazy!
If your a Southerner: Do you agree/disagree with these statements?
If your a Northerner: Do you find any or all of these things ridiculous? What are some things you can tell me about Northerners? Do they differ from these Southern statements?

THANK YOU
Thank you sweet friends for following along with my blog! It’s an amazing feeling when your blog starts to grow and you feel like there are so many possibilities for it! As a special THANK YOU for following, I’m doing my very FIRST giveaway!
Last year some friends and I got together for a Pinterest project! Below are some pictures of the project and what we did.
{These are the 2 my friends did. The left one hasn’t been strung yet}
{This is the one I did. I chose a turquoise background, white string, and I painted my nail heads raspberry}
{For Christmas, I made this for my cousin and her family}
I’m giving away a personalized string art. This can be for you OR it’ll make a great gift! You get to pick the state, where you want your heart, whether or not you want a heart or a square or a circle, if you want your name painted on it or logo/team (if it’s within my artistic ability, sorry guys, I’m not Picasso here!), and if you want the nail heads painted, like on mine.You can also tell me what size you want your board if you have a specific space you want to put it in your home.
I hope y’all enjoy my first giveaway!
