A while ago I was tagged by two dear bloggie friends of mine (Toni and Amy) and since Ive been slack busy I havent done them. Today Im fixing that up. I am going to spare you from reading a long long post and make it easy for myself by just doing 10. I know Im cheating but I told you Im slack busy LOL
Here goes:-
1 I use to belong to St John’s ambulance as a cadet
2 I use to collect cactus and have a little glasshouse of mine own
3 I loved woodwork as a child and made a ladder as well as other things. I loved it so much that I took it in my first year at high school as well as at intermediate.
4 I went to CobbnCo for my 13th birthday
5 I use to be a Brownie and then a Girl Guide (in the photo below Im 3rd from the right and this was my first camp)
6 Ive always bitten my finger nails
7 Ive always like full length mirrors
8 As a child I use to play that I was a warrior and had a pretend spear
9 Although you might think this fact above means I was a tom boy I wasnt. I liked playing with dolls too
10 I use to play the guitar but I never practised much which probably is the reason I never got very far with it even though I had music lessons as a child for many years.
I wont tag any one because youve probably all done these anyway. I am SLACK!!! But if youd like to do these go ahead and tell me so I can read your answers and know that youre not as slack as me

Wow, Jen. I envy the woodworking skills. I secretly thought it would be great to take “shop” in highschool, but it wasn’t considered “cool” here. I look back and could just scream because I had that chance to learn it and didn’t take it. No, I took typing and home ec instead. I learned absolutely nothing in home ec (not that it wasn’t taught; just that I was unteachable in domestic stuff) and I could have taught myself to type. So basically, I blew it. I SHOULD have taken shop. Glad you did.
Blessings,

Hey, I would’ve tagged you for the 8 Random facts, but I’d thought for sure you’d already done it! Glad you ended up doing it anyway…neat slide show!

I took Home and Typing too
Home Ec was boring except for the practical and I could never touch type
I would have liked to carry on with the woodwork but wasnt allowed
AMY

Neat pictures. My Brownie Girl scouts (ages 6-9) just “bridged” to the Junior level. I’ll miss being a leader, but not so much that I want to sign up again!
Great post.

Hi Jen, I wasn’t a tomboy in the beginning too. It was quite a recent development… perhaps about 7 years ago. LOL. Love all the photos!
