An Award!

Good Afternoon!

My friend Kathleen has passed this Award onto me (Thank you very much hun) so here is what I have to do.

1. Thank the person who gave you the award.

2. Put the Award on my blog.

3. List 3 things I like about myself.

4. Post a picture I love.

5. Pass this award onto 5 other people.

Okay here I go!

Firstly Thank You to Kathleen, it was so nice of you to think of me for an Award.

3 Things I like about myself is a bit tricky, Id have to say:

1. I like my ability to tell which colours work well together. This comes from my card - making :)
2. I can make awesome cupcakes, but I can't actually cook anything else lol

3. Lastly my ability to drink more than my male friends, I consider that a talent lol

Here is a pic I like of myself, it was taken on Saturday and I don't usually dress up in fancy dresses lol

Now for the last bit, I can't actually pick just 5 people so I'm going to have to give it to all of you that take time to comment on my posts, it's so nice of you to take time out to comment.

Have a Good Day!
