Interview with MIKAYLA from the Bubblegum Ballerina
4:41 PM
To kick off Mic's Room's anniversary, I have a interview (one of three...can you guess who else?) for you all! Enjoy.
~
Mikayla (yeah we have the same name, right?) has a great blog, over at the Bubblegum Ballerina. Her photography is BEAUTIFUL (especially of flowers!!) and she also has many faith-based posts that you should really check out. Honestly, head on over and tell her I said hi!
(beware of some random notes from yours truly ;)
Favorite childhood book?
Treasures of the Snow and Rainbow Garden by Patricia St. John. My older sister, Rose, loved all of St. John’s books, and she read me one, and I decided to read them. I was probably about seven when I picked up Treasures of the Snow, and it was just a few months later when I read Rainbow Garden. They we’re not only amazing stories but they really impacted my life.(I can honestly say that she is so right. Treasures in the Snow is a inspiring, epic adventure and Christian life lesson all in one)
Least favorite?
Probably “Meet Molly” from America Girl. I was about seven when I read that one to, and I just really disliked Molly’s character. After reading faith building books like St. John’s books, AG just didn’t appeal to me very much.
Earliest childhood memory?
Well, I remember a whole lot from my early years, but sometimes it’s hard to place when they were. One that was pretty far back, when I had to be about 2-3 years old was going on a treasure hunt with my siblings that my parents had set up. They had broken up a pot and we got to put it back together. It was pretty cool.
Favorite word?
Awesome. I love that word! I also really love dream, courage, and inspire. I love words that mean something all on their own, like those three words I just listed. (lol why am I thinking of Bear off the Alaskan Bush People "Awesome")
When you started a blog, what were your thoughts?
Well, my older sister had a blog and I loved watching her do her blog posts, so she encouraged me to start my own. I wanted a place to share my photography (Which I had just gotten really into that year) and share some random thoughts. About a year into the blog it started changing into where I really wanted to share about my life, and writing as well.
What do you think now?
Well, my blog is still very much about photography, my life, writing and random stuff. But over the past couple years, I’ve really wanted to share more of my faith as well. My faith is a huge part of who I am, and sharing it just feels right. I hope that through my blog people might be encouraged in their faith, and maybe we can get to know each other.
Lessons from your writer experience?
There are too many to count, but one of the biggest lessons I learned during writing was that you shouldn’t ever write to impress other people. Our biggest goal as Christian writers is to share God’s message, and even if that means just writing clean stories, we should be doing it for God, not other people. I learned that lesson the hard way.
And finally, what is your favorite outfit?
My favorite outfit changes a lot because I love fashion. But right now my favorite outfit is boots, a brown shirt, teal shirt, brown vest, and teal jewelry. (Teal is thee best color ever)
Thank you so much, Mikayla! I hope you enjoyed this just as much as I did!

Thank you! I hoped they would be, I wanted to add not TOO much, though, you know? Ah, teal is SO BEAUTIFUL (and you have to read that with a French accent, lol)!
DeleteAnytime ;) thank you for being interviewed.
-Mic
I've never been good with accents, unfortunately. The only one I can do marginally well is Russian, and even that is pitiful. ;P
