This weeks question:
How did you come up with your blog title and address? Does it have a special meaning for you? -Suggested by The Paperback Princess.
Answer:
When I first decided to start my blog I spent almost a week looking at the best place for me and ways to start it, along with coming up with a blog title that suited me and my personality. I live in the Appalachian Mountains, and aside from my book and reading obsession, my favorite things to do are spending time out in my huge and beautiful ''back yard'' fishing, hunting, hiking, and riding my 4-wheeler. I absolutely love my mountains and like just about every other girl, I love diamonds, jewels, and rhinestones of all kinds. I set and tried almost every combination of Mountain and jewel names until I found the one that stood out to me. I would say that Mountain Rhinestones has special meaning because it describes parts of me.
What about your blog title, how did you come up with it and does it hold any special meaning for you. If you don't have a blog, what name would you choose and why if you started one?

You can choose which ever way is more convenient for you when following Mountain Rhinestones.
This is a Blog Hop!

Mountain Rhinestones is such a cute and original name. Congrats on being featured this week, I really enjoyed reading your Q&A.
