For those of you that don't know me, I'm a twin. I have a twin brother (no...we're not identical--haha! I always get asked that). I'm the sport-a-holic and he's the shop-a-holic. I have 2 colors in my closet because I hate thinking about what I'm going to wear. He coordinates not only colors, but designers. I get woozy just thinking about it. BUT I do have two weaknesses! Shoes. Lots and lots of beautiful, mobile works of art, gorgeous, streamlined, powerful shoes and the bags that compliment them! Oops...sorry. I tend to get a little carried away when it comes to my footwear. So, when I saw the "Flirty" Set from Quickutz, I stopped dead in my tracks!

Just look at this!

Oh the wonderful things you could do with this "Flirty" set. For those of you not as "inspired" by shoes, Quickutz offers three other vibrant selections: Reuse, Relax and Enjoy!

Name 3 of your favorite SB companies/lines. Hmmm...Basic Grey, My Mind's Eye, and Crate Paper come to mind first...

What is your top two fave holidays? I just plain love holidays. All of them. I guess if I have to pick it would be Christmas and Easter.
