An Award from my friend Wipso

I have just been fortunate enough to receive this award from my blogging buddy Wipso, seamstress extraordinaire! You should check out her fabulous blog and online shop (see the link on my sidebar)

To accept it you need to take part in a little information sharing
Instructions:
1. Give a top 10 list of the things that makes you happy.
2. Give a top 5 list of trivia about yourself.
3. Share the award with only 5 persons and ask them to do the same thing. :)
4. Link the blogs you choose and link the blog of the person awarded you.

SO here goes

1. My family... my husband, my son and daughter-in-law, my daughter and son-in-law and my darling granddaughter Daisy.
2. Cardmaking and fiddling around with paper.
3. Spending time with friends.
4. Singing in my choir.
5. Cruising (not for toy-boys... I mean on the ocean).
6. Finding a bargain.
7. Beautiful music.
8. Playing board games with friends and family.
9. Dining out in posh (yummy food) restaurants.
10. Spending time in my lovely comfortable home!

And now for 5 interesting things about me

1. I was my guide company's very first Queen's Guide. (not telling you what year it was)
2. We are still friendly with and continue to visit my son's French exchange family. They live in Caen and we have been friends since my son was 15. He's now nearly 34. What luck to have found such a wonderful family!
3. I had back surgery in the USA and I had my appendix removed in France.
4. I haven't seen my natural hair colour for about 20 years.
5. We used to have a caravan.

Now I must pass this award on to 5 of my bloggy friends. There could be so many, but here goes.

Victoria - always an inspiration, Eileen - totally innovative, Paula & Jackie - faithful visitors to my blog whose kind words mean so much, and to Sharon who has helped me out when things have become a trifle too technical for me!

Thank you all!
