Passing on Good Feelings!

Way back in April, Sarah presented me with this award. Thank you so much! I am so honoured, and no I did not forget. I just haven't found the time to think of seven facts.

So thank you again Sarah! And I would like to pass this award on to a friend and very new blogger, Rhiannon. She and her partner have started a blog together about creating a handcrafted home; crafting, recipes and green living, it makes for a great read! Head on over to Oh Beloved and share some of that blog love I know you keep lying around. Ok, and the idea behind this award is to share 7 facts about yourself, and pass it on.... So here's my facts:

1. I speak four languages. I am only fluent in English, but can happily converse in french, and can manage a conversation in Spanish and German (I love to practice if you're interested!!).
2. I have a baby brother who is 6'7"!

      3.  Reggie's real name is John (I'm still going to call him Reggie), and we got
           engaged after knowing each other barely four months!
      4.  I never wanted an animal, I'm allergic and it can be very
           uncomfortable. Now we have Gunner, and my allergies don't seem
           too bad. And how could you not love that furry little guy?

      5.  I have a recent obsession with brightly coloured nail polish!
      6.  When I was young I thought I wanted to live in a city, busy with lots
           of lights. Now we live in the country, and I couldn't imagine anything
           different.
      7.  I have an extremely hard time accepting compliments, and Reggie
           loves to prove that one.

Thanks for reading! Any interesting facts you want to share? Tomorrow is the last day to sign up for Michelle's giveaway, I'm sure you all need a couple of cards to write a sweet little note:)

7 Random Facts about Me

Last week I was tagged by Melanie at Tip-Toeing around Mid-life, she shared some random facts about her opinions, feelings, likes and dislikes. This is always a task that I find interesting! It is neat to learn about fellow bloggers, as well as share information about yourself.

The challenge is to give 7 random facts about yourself and then tag others from blogs that you like to do the same. Make sure to remind them to do it!

Here are 7 random facts about myself:

1. I always wanted to have my first child by the time I was 27. (I will be 26 in September, and am getting married in the same month, therefore no babies for a bit)
2. When I was young (about 4 or 5) I saw my grandfather shaving, and wondered how I would have the patience to shave my face every day, maybe I would have a full beard like my daddy...?
3. I love, LOVE, chocolate. I have even eaten chocolate pasta.
4. My favourite colour is orange. I had an orange car once, Carlos, he unfortunately suffered a painful passing.
5. I am a closet Fantasy and Folklore based movie watcher.
6. I am addicted to learning, and thought at one point I might be a student for the rest of my life. (turns out I am, I just don't pay the millions in post-secondary education anymore)
7. My dream destination (aside from another trip to Newfoundland) is South America, specifically Peru.

And those who I am choosing to play along:
Crystal - Crafty Ave
Wendy & Lauren - Tiny Sea
Michelle - Scissor Quirk

Thanks for the tag Melanie, and for reading about my quirkiness everyone! What are some interesting facts about you? Leave them in the comments below! :)

The Handwriting Game

Last week I was tagged by Crystal from Crafty Ave in the Handwriting Game. I suppose I have been spending too much time inside, but I haven't gotten to it until just now. I felt really good to sit down and write on a piece of paper. I used to journal a lot, but have gotten away from it. I might have to start again. I like writing thoughts, feelings and fun stories down, to re-live later in life.

The questions are as follows:

1. your name, your blog name
2. your blog URL
3. Write: The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog
4. Favourite Quote
5. Favourite Song
6. Favourite Musical Aritst
7. Something you say
8. Who's handwriting would you like to see?

Here is a sample of my handwriting (it's not very straight without lines):

*I tend to  be a very good promoter of Newfoundland, and somehow it always comes up in conversation and I am always encouraging people to visit it! You should too :)
**No that's not my writing, but I forgot and just had to add it in later. :)

And the people I chose to play are:
Cait - Bake What your Momma gave You
Melanie - Tip-Toe Thirty
Sarah - Atlantic Atlantis

I finally finished my coasters, and I will be posting about them tomorrow! Check back to see how they turned out!
