Tags and Awards!

{Are these the same thing? Probably... Either way I love getting them and sharing the love!}

First up I have been awarded the Fabulous Sugar Doll Blogger Award (what a great name) from Rebecca at Daydreams in Lace - a fellow UK blogger - Thanks Rebecca! Check out her lovely blog. I have to pass it on and tell you ten things about myself

I have also been tagged by Sanchez from The Inky Finger Files to list 7 things about myself. As well as being the inspiration behind my Who I am... post, Sanchez also has a collection of other bloggers Who I am posts in her sidebar - you should definitely check them out too!

So here are the 10 facts about me:
  1. I used to bite my nails really badly but someone recommended OPI Nail Envy to me and I have had long nails for 3 years now - I'm proud of this!
  2. I love wearing socks - even in the summer - I like having warm feet.
  3. I hardly ever wear skirts.
  4. I used to wish I wore them more but I like my jeans too much.
  5. I'm allergic to most fish.
  6. I am addicted to risotto at the moment - I eat it everywhere.
  7. I love catching up with Twitter in the morning (I'm so sad!)
  8. I secretly fancy Alexander Skarsgård (Eric from True Blood) he's not even really my type, but oh my, he is yummy (and I just found out he went to Uni in Leeds?!)
  9. I like being busy and having alot to do.
  10. I can be quite bossy.

So there we go, I would have done 17 facts but I always feel like I'm repeating myself or I'm running out of interesting things to say... so 10 it is....

and I'm going to pass the award onto these fabulous bloggers!
P.S. Hello to my latest followers: Thegirlcalledbo, Hello Sweet World, O'Reilly Ink and Rachael - Sorry I haven't looked at your blogs yet, I will soon I promise (in fact that goes to everyone who follows me and has commented recently - I'm a bit behind, sorry!)

Giveaway winner...

Part of me hates when the giveaway winner is decided - I like the thought that anyone could win it... and I always feel bad when they're over - but don't worry, I think this just means I should do more giveaways so that there are more chances to win... don't you?

Anyway - the winner of the O'Reilly giveway is... Rose Red - Well done!

Thank you to everyone who entered the O'Reilly print giveaway
and a big thank you to Maggy for agreeing to help me celebrate - definitely have another look around her shop if you have the chance - her prints really are amazing!
p.s Hello to my latest followers - Spardha, Onic (who has a great new blog!) Ana, Gemma Louise, Catherine, Beka2004, Magara, Make do Mum, Spanky*, Melissa and Adeline - I love having you all here :)

Things I've learnt from blogs this week... (TGI Friday!)

We got a pumpkin, yeay but still no cake... oops!!
We named him Humprey... I'm not sure why but I like it, he's happy.

This week has been a hard one for me, I haven't really been able to shake off that 'meh' feeling since Wednesday and thinking of blog posts has been tough. I've never struggled before with posts so I don't like it one little bit! I think I am worrying about too many things at once and my brain has decided to empty itself rather than process it all...
  1. I love the cameras. Love love love.
  3. I seriously want a giant cardboard camera
  4. I love this idea - I want one
  5. I will never get bored of dogs in costumes (more here)
Least there were lots of pretty things to distract me this week and I will be seeing Harry later - yeay!! I hope you all have lovely lovely weekends and a fun halloween!
p.s. Hello to my latest followers Carol, Planet Luminaire, Artichoke Zine, Cinabar, Lotzaads, M_Sparke and Cecistupperware - I love having you here. Also a quick hi to the people following me on bloglovin, yeay!

Who I am...

Inspired by these two lovely ladies: Sara and Sanchez
(please check out their posts - they really are beautiful)

I am 24 but sometimes I feel an awful lot older.
I still get asked for ID though which annoys me.

I am a daughter and a big sister...
no matter how far away I live from my family.

I am in love...
I would not be who I am without him.

I am technically an Interior Designer
but I haven't designed anything properly in over a year
I try not to think about it...

I am easily excited and short
I like both of these things about me.

I am impatient.
I want to travel, have a garden and get a kitten now.

I am not sure what I want to do in the future.
I am looking forward to it though.

I am happy.
Even when I am sad.

p.s. Also, I am overwhelmed by the amount of people reading my little blog - Hi to Judy, Janis, Christie, Buhdoop, Buzzybee68, Kimberly, Eadaoin and B is for Brown who mysteriously turned up over night!

(those without links if you have a blog then let me know)
p.p.s Yup the picture is of me sinking in the sand :)
