I have received an award from the lovely Jacey at Coffee n Crochet thank you ! I love her blog and the crochet creations , charity shop finds, hedgerow foraging and scrummy cakes..... a real mixed bag of a blog....
now I have to do 3 things...
thank the award giver...... check!
tell you 7 interesting things about myself.... oh crumbs!
and give the award to 15 fellow blogger's..... okaly dokaly!
now let me see!
1.
even though I have always stated "team player" on all my CV's I really much prefer to get on and do a job by myself... firm believer in " if you want something done properly.... do it yourself!"
2.
Having 3 older brothers I have always veered away from being a "girly girl" but I have in the past year or 2 I have accepted that I love pretty things... and am starting to be the real me... pleasing myself rather than anyone else....
3.
I use to be totally ambidextrous and could write perfectly with both hands... when I was little my teachers told me to only write with my right hand but I still do most things with either hand...
4.
I have a fear of heights but would love to go up in a hot air balloon
5.
I can roller skate, ski, trampoline, ballroom dance, ride a bicycle and swim
(not all at the same time though!)
6.
I cannot stand Marmite... but I love Mr P enough to make him a Marmite sandwich
7.
I love Reese's Nutrageous bars, if I find them in a shop I buy 3 or 4 and hide them at home...

Nicola has become a good friend since we did a swap many moons ago... and her blog covers the trials and tribulations of being a mum of 3, when she has any spare time she makes some fantastic felt and cross stitch pieces too!

Hi Alex!
Thank you so much for the award - it is just what I needed at the moment - a boost and big smile, thanks to you!
I loved reading through your 7 interesting things, and I was very relieved to hear you don't do all those sporty things at the same time!! And the blog list you've written about, is fab, as there are lots of blogs I've never visited which I can go explore now!
Thank you again - sending you a big hug :-)

Oh, cool. Thankyou for the award Alex. How lovely of you to send it my way.
I enjoyed reading your seven interesting things which were indeed interesting but now i'm rather flummoxed as to what might be interesting about me! I shall indeed ponder that for a while.
Big hugs my friend.

Thank you so much for the award--I needed a smile and this was perfect. I would love to go up in a hot air balloon myself and one of these days I will. We have a gentleman here in our little town who owns one. I have chased down a few, but actually never got to go.
Reeses Nutrageous Bars are amazing--r they hard to come by across the pond cuz if so, well, I know someone that could keep u stocked up for life...ME! Thank's again- what an honor. Blessings to you and yours--Angie
Thank you Alex....... lovely to read your seven interesting things..... Unfortunately I can't think of seven re myself! Hope that kitchen is coming along just as you want it and that you have hot water! :o)
Thank you for the award!! I have never had one before- Yay..And it is lovely to learn more about you and also read about bloggers that I haven't met yet...
Have a Wonderful Weekend,
Warm Wishes,
Cally x
Thanks Alex for the award. It is neat reading seven interesting things about you. I believe we are all interesting but I know it is difficult to think of seven interesting things about ourselves.
Blessings Marlyn
Thanks for the award Alex, and the kind words! I'm pretty crubbish at passing these things on though, but I really appreciate you thinking of me. Your birdies went in the mail this morning so should be with you very soon!
Rachel x
Awhhhhhhhh! Thank you! You lovely lady, you! I love marmite, yummy! I love the kitchen in Practical magic and just watch the film to see it, and that dance they do around the kitchen! Thank you for the award, I will post about it when I get back! Thank you for your holiday wishes too! Love to you Susie xxxx
Oooh, and I can't wait to see your kitchen and hear about Daniel's first day at school! xxx
Thank you so much for thinking of me and passing on the award and for your kind comments. I can't think of any interesting facts about me just at the moment but there must be some! I will give it some thought and I will also check out the other versatile bloggers later.
Jane
Thankyou alex! it was very sweet of you to nominate me for your award, thank you!

Oh my!
I've never received an award before LOL Quite taken aback by this and ahh thank you? :) (now I'm doing some major blushing!)
I don't believe in taking life laying down irregardless of the bumps on the road I'm too stubborn to give in to anything!
My kids always said that about me; that I make them think outside of the box. Glad I still have that knack!
Angel :)
Thanks so much for including me. That made my day. jan
Unquestionably believe that which you stated. Your favorite justification seemed to be on the net the easiest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I definitely get annoyed while people think about worries that they plainly don't know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and also defined out the whole thing without having side effect , people could take a signal. Will probably be back to get more. Thanks
