Tagged + Awards = Fun!

I have been tagged to play a fun question and answer game by the lovely Alicia from Bella Card Company. Alica has a lovely blog and an etsy shop where sells her own gorgeous stationary designs.
If you haven't had the pleasure of meeting Alicia please do, you can by clicking HERE.
I didn’t realise how tricky this would be until I started and by then I was having fun and hooked.
Here goes……
1. If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be? As much as I dream of living in an exotic European location I really don’t think I could move too far away from my family. Somewhere like this would do. Great views Less than a 5 hour drive to family
40 minutes drive to the beach
7 acres of land so I could have a gorgeous garden
2 hours drive to Sydney
Close enough to all of the facilities we require, good school, good shops, good restaurants. All those things that make life so wonderful!
For any one interested this house is currently for sale you can find the details and photos from here. 2. What is your favorite band? This changes on a regular basis and depends on what I feel like listening to. If someone had to buy me a CD and asked what I would like I could guarantee that if they bought me anything by Newsboys or Michael Buble I would enjoy it!

3. If you could be someone else for a day, who would it be? Aaargh, I am really bad at this. I like who I am. I am not sure that I want to be anybody else. Sure I would love to have all of the wonderful stuff that other people have like Lots of these
One of these
Lots of these in all different colours and styles
Something like this
But when I think of all of the influential people in the world (yes, I googled them) I don’t think that I want the pressure that they must have to deal with every day and when I think of all of the rich famous people I wonder whether their life is really that good? Are the people around them there because they love and care for them or are they there hoping for something for themselves. After all my research I decided that I am happy being me!
4. Concert or Broadway show? I haven’t been to many of either but I would choose a Broadway show over a concert. The last one I saw was the Phantom of the Opera. It was great and I am looking for to the sequel.
5. Theme song for your life? Ha, this is tricky and I cheated, yes I admit I googled this question to see what help I could get and guess what I found this great quiz. Have I mentioned that I love the web! I answered all the questions as honestly as I could, or as I cared to admit to and my result was.... Beautiful Day by U2
I can live with that! I like that song and I like U2.
Please feel free to go and check out what your theme song is! Just click HERE! 6. Would you choose a fancy dinner at a nice restaurant or a picnic in the park? I would happily do either but if push came to shove I would choose the fancy dinner. I love getting dressed up and being waited on. I would love to go here next (hint, hint Darling).
For those who are not familiar with Australia this is Tetsuya’s and is a multi award winning restaurant and Tetsuya himself has won many awards, he is an outstanding chef. 7. Favorite place to shop? I love to shop and I quite happily shop anywhere, I love the Internet for the ease and the availability but I get the most satisfaction out of getting a bargain so I love to thrift at garage sales or charity stores.
8. Favorite movie? I think I must be a pretty easy going person as once again I don’t really have an all time favourite but some that I have really enjoyed lately have been

All great chick flicks that I laughed, cried and scoffed through!

If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be? 2. What is your favorite band? 3. If you could be someone else for a day, who would it be? 4. Concert or Broadway show? 5. Theme song for your life? 6. Would you choose a fancy dinner at a nice restaurant or a picnic in the park? 7. Favorite place to shop? 8. Favorite movie?

Prizes, awards and games!

I was so excited to receive my prize in the mail this week! I just had to share it with you all!
I was fortunate enough to win one of the Cosies from Tina's and Anna's Double Lucky- Double Dip giveaway.
Both Tina from Rubies Place and Anna from Lona De Anna are the loveliest gals you will come across, not only are they encouraging with their comments they are also creative and talented if you haven't been to visit their blog please stop by and say 'Hi'.
I must confess that my Cosie was called a 'Takeaway Cosie' but I was so excited to show it off I ingeniously made it fit my mug and I think it works! Please take note of the lovely tag that came with my prize, I can't throw it away so I will have to find a home for it so I can admire Tina's creativity.

I also would like to send the very lovely Samantha from The Nest a big thank you for awarding me with the 'Sunshine Award'. I just love Samantha's blog and her creations are gorgeous. Samantha has just listed some new cushions for sale on her Etsy shop and I love them! Please stop by and have a look at her designs I am just trying to convince WH that I need another cushion cover wish me luck, Mothers Day is just around the corner!

I have covered the prize and the award and now I have the game left! I was tagged by Donatella from Donatella Style, Sonja from Tied with a Bouw and Abby from Two little Dicky Birds to post the sixth photo I ever showed on my blog. So without further ado......

I must admit I disappointed that it isn't a glamorous photo but oh well....... the photo above is from the real estate advertisement for our house. I am pleased to say that it doesn't look like that anymore! Now it looks like....

Oops, it used to look like that but now it looks like this.....

This photo makes me smile because we spent many, many, many hours in our backyard working, ripping up the deck and back filling and then paving. We are really pleased with the results but we know there is still so much left to do.

I will definitely be doing a 'two years later' post to show the progress and hopefully we will be finished by then, but are you actually ever finished? Thank you to Donna, Abby and Sonja for tagging me, if you haven't been to visit them, make sure you do, they are all the sweetest ladies and are amongst my favourite blogs to read.

I am meant to pass on the award and tag some others for the game so I will do that in my next post!

Thank you for stopping by and visiting me! xx
