According to Claudine:
When I was a child... I used to make paper dolls from magazines.
I can't imagine my life without... gel medium.
I would love to win a shopping spree to... Target!
I was most embarrassed when... I broke my tailbone in the 5th grade an I had to sit on an inner-tube for a month in school.
If I could be anywhere, I'd be... home!
My least favorite chore is... grocery shopping.
If I could be on any tv game or reality show, it would be... Project Runway, even though I can’t sew!
If a mystery package arrived on my doorstep, I'd hope it would be... something yummy.
My guilty pleasure is... a long nap on a rainy day.
I thought I would never... be living in Washington DC again!
If a genie granted me three wishes, I’d wish for... more time to get things done.
You would never guess it, but I... love to get catalogs in the mail. I read every one.
If I could be on any tv game or reality show, it would be... Craft Corner Deathmatch… too bad this show got cancelled!
