I've been given this award from Lisa over at Puppylov









I have to list 10 honest things about myself, so here goes:

1, I really enjoy my own company (I think it's to do with being an only child) and
however much I love my family and friends I really cherish the quiet times on my
own.

2, I really don't like dressing up, you know, getting ready for a night out. I'm at
my happiest when in casual, comfy clothes. Jeans/combats with a novelty t-shirt
and a pair of flip flops or ugg boots (depending on the weather).I'd rather dress
plain and simple and jazz things up with chunky jewellery especially earrings, I
feel naked without them.


3, I'm addicted to diet coke.

4, I very rarely cook! I can cook and I enjoy it but Rich does most of the cooking in
our house.

5, When I was a little girl I went through a real tomboy phase. I would wear boys
clothes and wouldn't answer to Beki or Rebecca, I had to be called Nigel.

6, My heart belongs in America! Ever since I spent time there many years ago i've
loved anything to do with the USofA. I am determined to return one day.

7, Angel cake! I think i've mentioned before that I love cake. I don't mean the
angel cake we can buy here in England, I mean the American one. I can't describe
how delicious this was, if I remember rightly, it came in a packet mix. My mouth
is watering just thinking of it, if any of my American friends know what i'm
talking about please let me know, does it still excist?

8, I love thunderstorms, I like to sit by the window or even stand by the front door
and watch the heavy rain and wait for the next clap of thunder and flash of
lightning. Of course it's better on a night time.

9, I'm a dreamer (again, only child syndrome I think)! I quite often disappear into
my own little world.

10, I need to be in control! If i'm not in control of a situation I panic.

I won't tag anyone with this as I think most people have done one of these in one form or another but if you fancy giving it a go then please feel free to help yourself to this award.

Today we picked up the new member of our family, meet Maggie.................














Isn't she just the cutest?

The only person who guessed we were getting a rabbit was Michela from Little secrets from my garden. I f you email me your address Michela, i'll get a little something in the post to you.

Before I go, i'll leave you with last nights little creation









It didn't take long to do but cured that creative urge I had.

Have a great weekend
((hugs))

LOVE IT!! The tag is great, your bunny is sweet, and your 10 are so me!! Well change USA to England (I'm a very proud American but I could sooooo live in England!) I'm not into diet coke though I can't have the sweetner it makes me sick. And I was a half tomboy I liked the clothes and played with my brother in our fort with guns, I don't think I ever picked a boy name though! THAT'S BRILLIANT!! and Nigel is such a good one! I'm so glad you did this! I didn't even think of living in my dream world and enjoying being with myself BUT they are so me!!
Hugs, Lisa

How odd is that?? I was a real tomboy hence my name is Joe!! I guess I was lucky already having a boys name! It's good finding out more about people.

Well Nigel what can I say, little bunny is really cute.

Floss said...

That was a good list! I was a diet coke addict but last summer I switched to a cup of coffee most days instead of all those cans/plastic bottles etc. I still drink diet coke when I go out but I don't keep it at home any more!

Love your little rabbit.

Bunny Rose Cottage said...

Hugs,
Amy

Love the bunny!

I dont like dressing up either - and I used to love it!! Now I just think its a pain and I hate having to go anywhere that requires me to dress up. I am happiest in a tent in a field in my shorts and sandals - I'm such a Slummy Mummy!!!

LissyLou said...

I love your creation - just gorgeous!

Monique Elisabeth said...

That little rabbit is so very cute !!! They can get really old too. I had one when I was growing up and he died when he was 14 !!!! He was very old and very loved !!
I love your newest creation, love the colour !!

Katie said...

A most interesting read! I'm an only child too, so can relate completely to liking your own company! Maggie is adorable. Looking forward to swapping with you soon (I'm busily finishing the little selection of things I've been collecting for you!) Katie x

Kar said...

Love your 10 honest things! Alot like me, casual clothes, tomboyish (when i was younger), but can't stand soda. Makes me sick.

Anyhoo, looks like you are gearing up for some fun time with the kids out of school. Hope it is a blast for you! Have fun! Especially with the new bunny. How cute!
