Hi everyone, it's been ages since I have posted, probably due to lack of inspiration with my writing skills. It's just that I love reading about everybody elses fantastic lives and think mine pales compared to them.

But anway, I will give it a go. I have been tagged a few times since my last post, so I think I will try to combine them all for you.

Varenia tagged me with 7 Facts About Me. So thanks very much Varenia. You should all pop on over and read Varenia's blog, she has some cute stuff and cute kids.

I was also tagged by Louise for 'You make my day award', thanks so much Louise. I am so glad that I have found such a good friend in you, cyber and in real life.

I was also tagged by a new blogger friend, Kelly, who lives on my side of Melbourne (we bloggers in the north east are few and far between) Are there any otheres out there that want to delurk and identify themselves? You have to check out Kelly's blog too - her quilts are amazingly beautiful and so are her children.

So Kelly's tag is Four Things, so I think I will combine both of them - here goes.

Four jobs I have had:

Secretary/P.A. in a criminal law practice.
Receptionist at The Royal Flying Doctor Service (WA)
Full Time Mum to three gorgeous boys (this has been the best one)
and of course
Amitie!!!! I am so loving this job - I don't even feel like I am working - it's really just playing and of course working with Louise and Jenny is just awesome.


Four movies I have watched over and over again:

I don't really watch too many movies or tv but does hearing movies over and over again count?
If so,

Toy Story (when the kids were little - I think I can recite every line in the movie)
Bridget Jones' Diary
Four Weddings & A Funeral
The English Patient

Four places I have lived:

I lived at my parent's home for my first 19 years.
Perth, Western Australia (following the love of my life)
Milton Keynes, England
Melbourne (last 18 years and hopefully the rest of my life) Australia is fantastic to live in!

Four shows I watch on TV:

The Bill (I know, I know it is so daggy - but it is just our little habit on a Saturday evening to sit down and enjoy the show with a glass of wine or two)

So You Think You Can Dance - (don't know why but I do)

It Takes Two (because my favourite AFL Footballer is on the show)

The Vicar of Dibley (my middle son has just discovered this show and I just love sitting with him to watch him laughing at all the gags)

Four Places I have been:

New York
London
Sydney
Paris

Four people who e-mail me;

Louise
Kelly
Tamara
Anna

Four things I love to eat;

Chocolate
Chocolate
Chocolate
Chocolate


Four places I'd rather be;

Amitie
Amitie
Amitie
Amitie

Four things I look forward to this year;

Louise and I have a few projects we are working on together (so stay tuned)
Having my husband away less on business
Welcoming a new niecephew into our family (sorry don't know the sex of the baby yet)
Watching my children grow another year older and taller than me!


So that is it from me. Thanks for the tags Kelly and Varenia, It was actually not too badto do, and I guess, if you have read this far you musn't have thought so either.

Anyway, onto other things. Thank you for all your comments about starting work at Amitie. I am having the time of my life. I am meeting so many talented and interesting people, and everybody is just so friendly.

I am having issues with the font and everything, my apologies. I don't know what I am doing.

Not sure about photos for this post, I know everybody loves a good photo so I will see what I can dig up.

Tagged

Here is a fun game of tag which Claire kindly tagged me for - I just love reading everybody elses, apologies in advance for my boring offering.


Here’s how it works:1. Players must list one fact, word, or tidbit that is somehow relevant to their life for each letter of their first or middle name.2. When you are tagged you need to write your own post containing your first or middle name game facts, word, or tidbit.3. At the end of your post choose one person for each letter of your name to tag.4. Don’t forget to leave a comment telling them that they have been tagged, and to read your blog.




is for Cowboys, retro 1950's. I love all the vintage fabrics and the reproductions. I love to collect the little tin wind up toys and cowboy books. My youngest son's room is decorated in the 'cowboy' theme, although I very much suspect that he would prefer to have 'spiderman'.

is for apples. Not just any apples - my apples on my swing tags and logo. I wasn't that interested in them before, but when Marianne was designing my new tags, that is what she came up with and I think they look so fresh.



is for tidy. Something I am not!! I really try so hard to be tidy, but it just takes so much time away from the things that I would rather be doing - sewing, knitting, crocheting, embroidery. One day, I promise, I will try harder.

is for happiness. My family brings me so much happiness and I just love them to bits. They understand that I need time for my crafts and they are all so accommodating. The saying in our house is 'if the mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy'




is for yummy (or it could be yucky) - I love to bake for my family and friends, creating delicious cup cakes, biscuits and cakes. It is also for 'yummy' fabric which I just can't resist buying - even if it is just to look at.



Now I would like to tag these lovely ladies, whose blogs I enjoy reading. Louise (of course, my first blog friend), Tamara, Fiona, Donna and Jodie. I am looking forward to reading what they all have to say.

Time for bed now (I know what they mean when they call these things 'time wasters')
