*Tagged!*

I've been tagged by Karen.......

I am sure I was tagged by a couple of other people a while back and I forgot to do them.  Apologies to whoever that was, and if you want to tag me again I will do it, honest....

1. If a movie was being made of your life who would you like to be cast to play yourself? And why?
I would like Jennifer Saunders to play me and in the style of Edina from Ab Fab.  My daughter says I am like Edina and my friend is like Patsy.  I do laugh at the thought......wish I had her money though too, lol.

2. You are spending a whole month on a desert island for charity and you have to choose your favourite celebrity to spend the first two weeks with & your least favourite celebrity to spend the second two weeks with, who would they be & why?
There are lots of fave celebs I wouldn't mind spending some quality time with (hehe), but at the moment it would have to be David Duchovny as Fox Mulder (X Files).  We could investigate some happenings on the desert island and then he would have to comfort me when I get scared.....

Least fave would have to be some airhead woman or someone who is famous just cos they are rich.  You know the ones, but I don't like to name names.... Paris Hilton...

3. What are your three favourite crafting products?
Chipboard, Big Shot, Cropodile

4. If you could invent something to do anything what do you think it would be?
Something that enabled us to live forever, should you want to.

5. What are the last three books that you read?
The Good Guy by Dean Koontz, The Potters House by Rosie Thomas, and am reading Keeping Faith by Jodi Picoult at the mo.  I have a huge pile of library books to read - a couple more by Jodie Picoult, a couple by Dean Koontz and some by Stephen King.  Will keep me going for a while - will have to renew them though as I am not going to get through them all by the due back date of 23 April, lol!

Also have a new BF Book Club book to read - The Shipping News by Annie Proulx.  If I didn't have my books to escape into, I am sure I would go mad.

6. Qvc or create & Craft?
Neither

7. Docrafts or Dovecraft or DCWV?
Defo not DoCrafts, Dovecraft is good, DCWV is a little bit gooder.

8. What is your claim to fame?
Having a PM on UKS from Ty Pennington, when he dipped in during a CyberCrop last year.  I had made an offer to help him, in suggestive tones (hehe), and he PM'd me to thank me for my offer.  Cheeky man.  Cheeky, sexy man.  Sexy man. Sexy...

I am going to tag - any of the Bubblies who fancy giving it a go.  There are more than five and I would hate to miss anyone out....

Edited to add a couple of pic of Ty Pennington - sorry, I just assumed everyone would know who he was, lol.... I mean, how could you not who he was!!  Where have you been??xx

Ty Pennington - Extreme Makeover.....

I believe in angels.....

Doesn't time fly!  I've been so busy the past few weeks I can't believe we are mid-way through April already!  And no sign of Spring either, bummer.

The new style Bubbly Funk monthly kit is being posted on Tuesday and the Bubbly Scrumptious Blog is available for those who bought the kit too.  It is themed like an e-magazine, so over the months we will build up a whole load of useful and usless info, lol.  Thats what magazines are about isn't it.  Bits and pieces of this and that, with the Kit projects being the main posts throughout.  I hope everyone likes it as I do think it will grow into such a valuable resource, and not just crafty bits.  It is going to be something you can flick through whilst having a cuppa, and also the kits projects will give some winderful inspiration.

So this alone has kept me very busy, together with the Kits for the UKS CyberCrop taking place at the end of April.  Not complaining though, as I do love it.

I did manage a CJ entry for the Retailers Cj on UKS, which I posted last week.  this is the only crafty thing I have been able to fit in of late.  The theme for the CJ is Magical and Mystical......

I love Angels and the whole spirituality surrounding them.  I have a number of books of peoples wonderful experiences with Angels, so it is nice to believe and I do.  Several years ago I used to go to a Spiritual group which met up every week, and was headed by a lady who had medium-like qualities and would be able to give us messages.  Darren thinks the whole thing is a load of nonsense, but I believe.  I would hate to think that you live and die, thats it, and nothing after.  Darren is very logical and practical which is fine, but I am the opposite and want to believe there is more. 

I also believe in the power of positive thinking.  And that negative thoughts breed negative happenings and the same with positive.  The book 'The Secret' is worth a read to anyone who hasn't already.  I've only read part of it, and watched the video, but it changed the way I think, and for the better.

My Spirituality has taken a back seat the past few years, as all I do is craft related, lol, but its still there with me, with every breath I take, even if I am not seeking to know more at the moment.  There is a time and a place and I believe my energy needs to go on the business and my family, of course, at the moment.  So I don't go to any Spititual groups or anything like that at the moment, but I am sure I will again, as its something thats always there with me.

To this end I always want to think the best of people, and I always assume first that peoples motives are honorable even if further down the line they prove not to be.  I can be happy in myself that I gave them that chance, and then just feel sad if they prove not to be as nice as they should be.  It is their problem then and not mine, as I gave them a fair go. 

Oh gosh, that was a bit deep wasn't it.  Don't know why, lol.  Anyway, do you believe in Angels?

I have a daily calendar with an angel sentiment on each day.  Todays one says

"Wherever we are, if we open our eyes to truly see, we find the wonder of God's handiwork."

If you are blessed with good family and friends, then this sentiment rings true, don't you think....and the beautiful things that nature provides, which are around us every single day.  Take time to really look....and really see....

Famous Stars and Straps.....

I actually managed to get a CJ entry finished ahead of time last weekend!  This is one for the BF CJ and the entry was in Rosies 'Favourite Memory'.

Popped into town with Abi yesterday as she needed some new school shoes.  Mind you thats not all she managed to get out of me, not sure how she does it, really I'm not.  Shoes, two jackets and make up, and a she bought a sparkly belt buckle for a belt she bought where you can change the buckle.  Ridiculous price.  The buckle cost more than the belt and the belt cost £20.  She is buying that out of her pocket money though.  I don't mind treating her, but thats a bit extravagant!  I had never heard of this design either but its very fash by all accounts 'Famous Stars and Straps' - this is the buckle she bought...

I said 'Won't people think your name begins with 'F' if they see your belt buckle?'

Abi looked at me astonished and the shop owner chuckled at me and said 'Nooooo, I shouldn't think so.'  And then laughed.

Am I that out of touch?! lol.  At one time I would have known what the 'in' thing was, but obviously not anymore!  I did feel old......
