Enchanted Occasions: Dawny's Sketch "3

My card for the a FAB sketch by Dawny! Here, Now OK I dont think this is going to appeal to many if any lol But its really me and I thought Id be brave...yikes ha ha

I have been tagged by Joey so I have to now rack my brains to supply 7 'interesting' facts about myself...well Im gonna fail miserably lol But here goes......

1) I married Steve in 1998, we spent our honeymoon on the QE2, visitng New York, Bermuda and the Carribean.
2) I have been making cards since early 2003 and ever since really developed into a business. It has grown ever since and now keeps me really busy, especially this time of the year....eh girls!
3) I enjoy reality shows!! [and proud of it ha ha] Big Brother, Celebrity Get me out of Here, etc
4) My favourite colour is pink!
5) I never learnt to type, as many of you that have read my blog will already know lol
6) I wear my heart on my sleeve, am sensitive, kind, considerate for others. Im a BIGworrier! I always try to look on the bright side and normally have a smile on my face! A joker...sometimes to my downfall!
7) Does this have to be the bestest...? lol erm...I LOVE shoes and have about 100 pairs, no less than that maybe 80/90

Thanks Joey for tagging me xx

Aww felt a bit sad yesterday watching the QE2 leaving Southampton for Dubai. We've been lucky enough to have spent some fabulous times on her, including our honeymoon. The last holiday on her was this June, Mum and I went up to Norway which was absolutely amazing. Got some very special memories of our times onboard, of which I will treasure always.

Its the morning after the night before....night of the disasterous card party! 15 people were invited and 2 turned up LOL Kelly [silver jewellery maker] and I went loaded with jewellery and cards and laid it out all 'nice' and 2 people came! we were so deflated. Still i did get a lead for possibly a wedding invitation order so maybe all is not lost lol Kelly bless her made 3 sales, mind you once we gave the raffle prize we didnt actually leave the house on an 'up' ha ha
Off to Tesco today...deep joy. Did warn you my blogging ws gonna be interesting..........

Well Im here, in the blogging world, but, I have to say I dont know why! Oh yes I do me ol' matey Joey convinced me its where I need to be, so here i am. Dont think for one minute my life is interesting enough to write anything, but, I will have a bash lol Not attempting cards yet, Im not brave enough!
Have a good day to anyone mad enough to look in hehe
