Recently, I was invited to share "10 Things You Don't Know about Me" from Ilja at one of my favourite online shops Em&Femme Designs. Ilja is hilariously funny and a fantastic inspiration to just take everything in her stride! She is also amazingly talented and her designs really are gorgeous.
The game goes something along the lines of tag but I am always up for some fun and love these little games that always leaves the reader going "Well I didn't know that!"......so here we go....
1. Before I had Macie, I had a severe phobia of anything related to injections. As a child, I would scream Blue Murder if a doctor, dentist or any kind of Health Professional even looked to be even considering giving me a jab. Consequently, our family GP would often hide the needle and hit me when I least expected it....which resulted in a kick in the family jewels for him....with my school shoes on. From that day on - it was declared war!
2. I was one of those parents (before actually having a baby) that swore that I would never let my kids watch TV. Currently, Macie is sitting in her highchair watching ABC Kids while I catch up on jobs and e-mails - and guess what? I don't feel bad about it!!
3. I have double-jointed fingers and everything on my left side is slightly bigger and better than my right. Hands, feet, hearing levels and even my boobs! Too much information?
4. I am currently having a "Prove You Wrong" Contest with Heath to prove to him that I can grow flowers in our garden. I am having issues with a certain 2 year-old who picks these flowers before I can show her Daddy!!!
5. I am not a 'Clean As You Go' kinda-person....more so a "Shit! This house looks like a bomb has hit it!" and then I go on a cleaning frenzy. Thankfully, the cottage doesn't stretch over too many square metres and it only takes an hour to get it back to it's former glory. Unfortunately, it takes longer for my 10 piles of washing to disappear though....
6. Heath's mum buys me flowers nearly every fortnight - just because she loves me. Pretty special right!! Thank you Larni. It doesn't go unnoticed and is a beautiful reminder that our relationship is special. X
7. I have ridiculously terrible taste in music and have been listening to Christmas Carols off my I-Pod in the car for the last week.
8. I hate eating fish....and I despise people who say "Just try it". I have - and I hate it.
9. I haven't had a haircut or colour since January - and got abused by a gay hairdresser in Townsville in April for being disrepectful to my hair. I felt like giving him the forks and perhaps a kick in the nuts like my GP....but instead smiled sweetly and bit my tongue.
10. The toilet in the cottage is smaller than one on a Domestic Airline. Consequently, people that are taller than 5.5ft (Heath & I don't have an issue) usually stop in their tracks and wonder how the hell they are going to fit. It makes for fantastic dinner conversation to imagine the said person in the position required to make it work.....and to add to the humour we have painted the door so people can write on the door whilst doing their business! This is the last 2 years worth of visitors.....
The lovely people I would love to tag are:
Angie & Kristy from ANK Bowtique, Emma from Cinderella at Brindabella and Amy from Life with Soul.
Bare yourselves ladies!!

Ten things....
To add to the fun of the "Face Behind the Brand", I thought I would do a blog post on Ten Random Things about me....
1. I believe I have an acquired taste in music....others just reassure me that it's just a 'terrible' taste in music. I could listen to my ipod all day every day with music ranging from Beaches to Meatloaf, Robbie Williams to Garth Brooks and ABBA to Eric Clapton! Don't even get me started on how WELL I sing....although my husbo may argue this point!
2. If I could have just one fairy in my life - it would be the "Washing Fairy". Mount Wash-Me at the Dalli Cottage sucks!
3. My husbo and I have been together for nearly nine years and I KNOW that we will together for another ninety. This is my favourite photo from our wedding day where my bridesmaid accidently pulled off my veil....hilarious hey!
5. Sleep-talking is a huge talent of mine - last night I woke my husband so he could check that we were still floating around the island, the night before I woke him to let him know that he wasn't stacking the watermelons properly in the trolley! As you can imagine, this is highly entertaining for Heath and he has great joy reporting my antics each and every morning!
6. When I was 19, I went on a SOLO whirlwind tour of the world - in 6 weeks I visited 18 countries, was in Rome when the Pope died, Monaco when Prince Rainier was ill and Gallipoli for the 90th ANZAC service. One of the best experiences ever.
7. I won't function without a morning coffee and snuggles with my family.
8. I am accident prone and on most occasions have plenty of bruises & cuts to prove this theory! I have fractured my collarbone after running into a pole on my push-bike when I was 8, rode off my dad's car on the first day I got my L's after running into a power pole, and hurt my shoulder after falling off a quad bike and being run over...I then proceeded to hurt the same shoulder in a night-snow-ski accident. Do I need to tell you more? ;)
9. Macie makes me laugh daily.
10. If I won the lottery, I would love to get my pilots licence so I could fly to see my family weekly...and fit in a spot of fabric shopping! That would be the coolest thing EVER!!
So come on....join in on the fun and let loose your TEN most random pieces of information!! I can't wait to read yours!!
