54 facts about me!

For the end of the year 2015, here are a few facts about me.

Me, me it's all about me!

Skirt/pants made of two pairs of too small pants and a scarf.

As closed as they will stay.

Sometimes if the bottles are cute.

Well this is where I grind to a halt. There were 99 in the original set of questions which I dutifully answered and then the Universe conspired to delete half. I couldn't face them again so here are the 54 q&a's it deemed worthy to keep!

Thanks to Jessica Cangiano for her inspiration. Click to see the complete list and her lovely answers!


Bye for now and thanks soooo much for your interest, support and love this very tough year.



See you in 2016!
Til then, keep on creating!


Love,

  1. Ha! This was fun : )

    But my dear...you MUST eat a pierogi! YUM! They are from the Ukraine, a type of dumpling that is most often made with potatoes and cheese and then fried with onions and bacon and served with sour cream. I adore them. I never make them or buy them because I would simply eat all of them.

  6. Wonderful information about yourself, lovely lady. I'm with you entirely - a truly great summertime peach is like heaven in your mouth. Even just reading your mention of them has me longing for the scrumptious local offerings that grow around these parts in the warmest months of the year.

    I wholeheartedly enjoyed learning a great deal more about your and am delighted that you played along with this fun blog tag, too. Many thanks for doing so and also for the thoughtful mention.

    Have a fun filled, fabulous and very happy New Year!
    ♥ Jessica

  12. Princess Bride is Justin's favorite movie. "Because it's true love" :)

    Pierogi can be a few different things. I think when they asked you, they meant a popular Polish dish. Little dumplings stuffed with either potatoes, or cabbage, or cheese. In Russia and Ukrain, they call this dish vareniki. Piroshki (or pirogi) in Russia are more like turn-overs - either baked or fried little pastries with various stuffing, my favorite ones are with cabbage and with sorrel.

    You are a beautiful, beautiful creative soul! Happy New Year to you! Lots of love!
