{feature:Jolie}

I'm so excited to start off this week with another feature!

Everyone meet Jolie!

My name is Jolie and I just turned 29. I work as a campaign manager for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team In Training program. It's a great program that trains people from beginners to experienced athletes to complete endurance events such as marathons, half marathons, triathlons and cycle events all while raising money for cancer patient aid and research. I love what I do and the rewarding feeling that my job gives me each and every day!

I love to make crafts of any type. I'm not stuck on one type of project. I'll try just about anything once but I really love crafting with felt. I'm obsessed with reading craft blogs and learning about the latest trends. I love running (when I'm training for something otherwise I get lazy). My hubby and I love to hike, camp and really just be outdoors. I'm also a big reader. I recently joined a book club so I could get introduced to new things and "read outside the box".

Do you have a blog/shop/site?
I have a blog that I try to update fairly regularly: MissShadowDozier.blogspot.com
I also have an etsy site: http://www.etsy.com/shop/ShadowDozier

What do you like most about blogging?

I love blogging because I would love to write but have trouble finishing what I start. With blogging there is no beginning and no end. You can just kinda start up a blog mid-thought and not only do people not complain, they get it! I love that I can blog about crafts one minute, a movie the next and just post pretty pictures in my next post. My blog is like peek at what's going on inside my head and that's pretty cool. I have so much fun going back and looking at what I was thinking 2 months ago.

What are your top 5 favorite blogs/sites?
It's a constantly changing list but for now...

What inspires you most?
I find inspiration all around me. I hate when people say that they are intrinsically inspired. That too me is impossible. You would have to walk around with your eyes closed to not be inspired even in just some small way by everything you see. Every person, every blog, every tv show, they are all motivators and inspirations to me.

Are you currently working on any projects?
I'm going to put up some coffee sleeves in my etsy shop soon. I'm really digging the idea of coffee sleeves.
