Tag - You're it!






HAPPY SUNDAY EVERYONE!

Good news!!  
On Monday my new blog look goes up!!!

Don't worry if you can't get into my blog on Monday as I'll be closing it to the public while I check everything out & re-size it, etc, if necessary!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Seeing as it's Sunday I thought it's time to lay off the layouts a while & just have some fun joining in a different kind of challenge sent by my friend Sandi!
She has tagged me to share 10 things about myself!!
1.  My husband is truly my best friend in the whole world and, not only that, but 21 years of marriage later, he still makes my heart skip a beat too!

2.  I'm actually consciously taking LESS PHOTOS despite the trend to take MORE! 
{I'm trying to be realistic about my time, what I'm going to have time to scrap, 
and how many tangible memories we actually NEED}.

3.  I've made stuff my entire life, even though I only "officially" started scrapbooking 8 years ago.

4.  I have a pretty obsessive personality that I've learnt to control over the years as 
- whenever I get "into" something - it's hard for me to stop!

5.  My body clock has always been incorrectly set 
- my natural desire is to stay up late & sleep in in the mornings - 
and when I get to do this I'm very productive!

6.  I'm a lover of fur-babies {cats} and own three - Cocoa, Daisy & Chives.

7.  Finally I have long hair again 
- I've been growing it for the last 10 years - 
since I had alopecia and it fell out!

8.   Even though I have lived in Africa almost all my life I hate being in direct sunlight 
{the good thing about that is that I have far less wrinkles than my friends LOL!}

9.  I got my first job when I was 13 & since then I've never been without work.  
Even though I'm not officially permanently employed anymore I make sure I have plenty to keep me busy 
and my days structured 
{you know that old saying - the devil will find work for idle hands to do?  Don't want that to happen to me!}

10.   I hardly watch any TV myself but my entire family are OBSESSED with the British TV series 
"Gavin & Stacey" and watch an episode EVERY night - 
and as the lounge is right next door to my studio I hear it all so reckon I know all the lines even though I haven't watched much of it myself!

Tee hee to live in Africa and hate direct sunlight, that must be difficult! but then again, you have a lovely wrinkle-free face!
I had a co-worker once who had alopecia, how happy I am that your beautiful hair is back and in abundance too! yay!
