First Of All......

I was tagged again by the lovely Debs (Me-and-Lil G) and have 8 questions to answer.

1. If a movie was being made of your life who would you like to be cast to play yourself? and why?
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?
3. What are your three favourite crafting products?
4. If you could invent something to do anything what do you think it would be?
5. What are the last three books that you read?
6. Qvc or create & Craft?
7. Docrafts or Dovecraft or DCWV?
8. What is your claim to fame?

Hmmmm....this needed some thought:

1. If a movie was being made of your life who would you like to be cast to play yourself? and why?
Probably Cher,although better known for her music. She has that Rockchick kinda look and has played some brilliant parts in movies. She was fabulous in Silkwood and Mask.

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? The first two weeks with either David Coverdale or Joe Elliott, (or both for a week each! or both for the two weeks!) I'm not fussy...lol . And if you really need to ask who or why,check out the links on my blog to Whitesnake and Def Leppard or just google their names.
The second week would be Alan Carr as I just cannot stand the guy. One of many at the moment but he was first to pop into my mind.He is anything but funny and his voice grates on me. I'd tell him exactly what I thought of him or feed him to the sharks.

3. What are your three favourite crafting products? Craft Robo,Cuttlebug, and blooms of any kind.

4. If you could invent something to do anything what do you think it would be? A bottomless bank account.

5. What are the last three books that you read? Judy Astley - Size Matters, Cathy Kelly - Best Of Friends, Helen Bradley - Layouts For Scrapbooking

6. Qvc or create & Craft? QVC

7. Docrafts or Dovecraft or DCWV? I like products from each of the ranges. So all three

8. What is your claim to fame? Same answer as I gave in a previous tagging. My picture and story were used by Glasgow City Council Department Of Culture And Leisure in an advertising campaign they did. My face was on posters all over Glasgow and on Ad trailers. Louis found it highly amusing seeing mummy's face everywhere.

I've now to pass the tag along. I'm going to choose Vicky, Kerry, Donna,Sharon and last but certainly not least,my now fellow Scot, Emma

For those that have never been tagged it's easy, you just copy & paste the questions twice onto your page, you answer the second set of questions.You then need to make a list on the posting of the five people who you are going to tag. Lastly go onto their blogs and leave a comment to let them know to look at your blog as they have been tagged.

*************************************************************************************


Secondly I've been given this lovely award by the equally lovely Kerry (curlygirlyme) and it has really cheered me up when I've been feeling so sick. I'm so moved by her lovely words.

I'm also passing it back to Kerry for many of the same reasons she sent it to me. Kerry has given me loads of encouragement with both my cards and scrapbook pages. Even after my operation she was there when I had lost my scrapbooking mojo and always had kind words of encouragement that I'd soon get it back. Also Kerry was one of a few people who knew that I was going into hospital and kept in touch throughout offering her best wishes,get well wishes and support with her lovely emails.Her work is stunning and certainly an inspiration to me.So I hope you're "having a nice day" Kerry...heehee

I'd also like to pass it onto another lovely lady from DoCrafts who I don't think has a blog unfortunately,but who should have. The lovely Tina (RAINBIRD) on DoCrafts who also has a fabulous talent for drawing,making cards and scrapbook pages. Tina also kept in touch with me throughout my being in hospital and afterwards. It really meant a lot to me.

Lastly I'd like to pass it to Emma (elf-creations) who has just moved to Scotland from Gibraltar.We've only really known each other since starting our blogs although I'd read her posts on DoCrafts, but we'd both love to meet up in the future and spend some crafting time together.

Another Arte Y Pico Award

Thanks to Caz and Karen both for the "Arte Y Pico" award again. I really appreciate the award and as I've had it once already I'm going to nominate just a couple as most of the blogs I read have already received it. I'm also awarding it to anyone who hasn't had it,as I think all bloggers are worthy of it.
I award Vikki (Vixx-a-Craftin') and Donna (luvocardz) as they are both new bloggers and anyone else who wants to accept it.
Thank you once again ladies for this award.

Another Award

The lovely Sharon (Shari-Anne Happy Crafter) has nominated me for the You Make My Day Award.I'm so honoured to receive this award from another fellow crafter.So a huge Thank You to Sharon.

I now have to nominate another 3 people to receive the award. This is the difficult part as loads of people have already received it and loads are so deserving of it. I've decided to go with a few blogs that I've visited recently that have really shone with their crafting skills and it's not just related to cardmaking or scrapbooking particularly.
First up is Shirley (Create Away). I really love her blog with her fab photography and her lovely little quotes every day. It's a joy to read. Second would be Enfys (Colours Of Enfys) for her lovely silk and beadwork. Thirdly would be Sue (I'm Sue,Playing With Paper) as it's so refreshing to see lots of lovely techniques been used on cardmaking that seem to be missing from a lot of cards these days.

I Got An Award

Kerry from CurlyGirlyMe has awarded me the Arte Y Pico (Art & More) award. It's awarded to bloggers who share their art and creativity making their contribution to the blogger world.So a huge thanks to Kerry.I'm delighted to receive it from such a deserving winner in her own right!

The Rules!

1. You have to pick 5 blogs that you consider deserve this award for their creativity,design,interesting material,and also contributes to the blogging community,no matter what language.

2. Each award has to give the name of the author and also a link to his or her blog to be visited by everyone.

3. Each award winner has to show the award and put the name and link to the blog that has given her or him the award itself.

4. Award winner and the one who has given the prize have to show the link of Arte y Pico blog,so everyone will know the origin of this award.

5. To show these rules.

I'm only new to blogging so can only choose from a few, but from the blogs I've already seen, are more than deserving of the award. Some are fairly new blogs and some are established. A few I would have chosen have already been deserving winners of the award.
So my chosen award winners are Emma (elf-creations),Monica (my many many passions),Brenda Pinnick (Brenda Pinnick), Annette (Scrap Happens Here) and Lorraine (Scrapmetal's Retreat)
