What rotten weather we have had here today - just miserable. I have a few cards done for a forthcoming workshop and will hopefully post some challenges tomorrow but before that, I just want to say a big thank you to Pixie Dust for having me as the Inspirational Blog of The Week on her Cardmaking Friends Craft Forum. I am truly, genuinely very flattered and thrilled that you like visiting here and have picked me for your first blog.

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

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:
Facebook
Summer or Winter:
Winter, with log fires, mulled wine (there is a worrying theme here!!) and snow ball fights. I just LOVE it
