I have been tagged recently by 5 lovely bloggers. 4 have the same tag and 1 has another. More of that in a sec but before that, one of the lovelies that tagged me, Kathleen, had a link on her blog to something which just touched me and I just had to share it with you. If you get a sec, go here and have a read of this - it's called The Dash, by Linda Ellis - just awesome and it really made me think.
OK now the tagging bit. First the This and That Tag which came from Gina
Chocolate or Vanilla ice cream:
Vanilla - especially the reallly proper one flecked with vanilla seeds
Big Mac or Whopper:
Neither really - hate them both (sorry!!) but if I HAD to pick, it would be a Whopper
Coke or Pepsi:
Pepsi (especially with Bacardi lol xx)
Beer or Wine:
Oh easy peasy - wine, wine and more wine. Bring it on lol xxxxx
Coffee or Tea:
Neither - really truly hate them both although I will drink Earl Grey, not to be posh, but because it is quite nice
Apple Juice or O.J.
OJ
Facebook or MySpace:
Summer or Winter:
Winter, with log fires, mulled wine (there is a worrying theme here!!) and snow ball fights. I just LOVE it
Windows or Mac:
Windows
Cats or Dogs:
Oh cats, most definately cos I am owned by 1 - cat lovers will relate to this xx

Things I would do if I was a millionaire:

Hi Peeps. Hope you are all having a great weekend and that the weather isn't too awful for you. Here in Chester it is cold, grey and verrrry windy today - grrrr, miserable. So what better way to spend the day than staying inside in the warm and doing a spot of crafting lol xxx. This first card is for the Paper Take Weekly challenge which this week is hot hot hot (I wish!!). I did a 2 in 1 and used the sketch from Friday Sketchers. Papers are PP and the ribbons are Raspberry Ribbons and one from my stash. The little flowers were from Costco and the brads are from the fabulous Poppicrafts. Check out the website cos there is a 15% off sale this weekend - you'll need to hurry though cos it ends at midnight tonight.
This next one is a 3 in 1 and this time it is for
the very wonderful 2 Sketches for You based on
one of Laura's fab sketches,
the Spoonful of Sugar challenge which is to create
a card for a celebration, and also Cute Card Thursday which was to create a card for a birthday - simple as that. The papers are from Tinker & Co (Sweet Dreams)
The last one I did is
for 2 challenges -
TGI Friday, which is to
which is to create a quick card
which took no more than 30 minutes to make. The stamp I used is from Sally's e-bay shop, The Stamp Boutique. Her stamps are just gorgeous and very reasonable too. Check out her blog here. The ribbons are Raspberry Ribbons and the buttons are from God knows where cos I certainly don't but hey how cute!!
TFS xx

Same sketch but a bit different. You have the option to use chipboard on this challenge which I didn't do on the last card but did on this. The papers are PP and the chipboard flower, bloom and brad are all from the wonderful Poppicrafts The ribbon is from my stash.
The wrap around is fixed
on the back but opens at the sides
And some detail..

And the winner is ............
Right it's time to see who won the blog candy. Unfortunately, the celebrity I had lined up to assist me (Grandaughter Kyla x) couldn't make it due to other commitments (nursery lol xx) so I had to do it myself.
Ok - here goes. All names in and folded up.

Right, here are the challenge cards. The first one is a Dawny special - its a BOGOF one. You know the one, you buy one you get one free, I say you buy one, you get one free. Now before I continue, who is that ruddy annoying man and WHAT is he wearing!!! Someone should give the people that throw those things at him the sack and employ me cos I would not miss him, that's is for sure!!!! My overseas blog buddies, I fear you may well have no idea what I am rambling on about. Well, all I can say is consider yourselves very lucky that you don't have this advert in your country!!! Meanwhile, back at the blog.... as I was saying, this one is for the Friday Sketchers challenge and also the Tilda challenge which is to use swirls. Paper is PP and the ribbons are Raspberry Ribbons, Poppicrafts and a random bit I found in the bottom of my stash
