Tag and award.

Good grief where has the weekend and the last few days gone! Well Monday I had to travel to York to see a doctor about my nose. He has put me on another nose spray but if that doesn't work then they will operate and straighten the broken bone inside my nose. I had to look at photos that had been taken while they had a look around up there with a camera. I don't like things like that, when I had a chest x-ray done, I didn't want to look at it, it weirds me out seeing inside myself. Why I've exchanged bedrooms with my daughter I'm not sure, and what a joy.. sorry... nightmare it has been. So much hoovering, dusting and tidying up! I stood in my empty bedroom, my hall and bathroom full of junk and said 'Who's idea was this!!!' Too late to put everything back in it's place, I had to plod on, with the lovely help of my son. (He's gone to stay with his g/f for the next couple of days, I wonder why!). How much stuff can two girls have!! Well I have plenty and unfortunately my children have inherited my ability to store 'just in case'. I decided to feng shui the rooms. Ellie now has a bookcase full of books (obviously) in the 'knowledge' position of her room. Her bed is apparently better placed and after a good sort out and and clean, I am hoping she will calm down a little, as she is finding this 'heading to teens' quite hard going. I have placed my bed in the 'marriage' position. So you should expect lots of proposals coming my way ;) I have also placed a bookcase in my bedroom full of my craft books so here is hoping I get some inspiration. I have not crafted in the last two weeks because I haven't had chance while the kids are off school, so rather than beat myself up about it, I am accepting it and being patient.

I received an award from Twiggy at The world of Twiggypeasticks a while ago and have not passed it on, bad me! I have also being tagged by her, so I really should do something about both things.
Firstly the tag.
Rules:

1). Name and URL of person who tagged you.

2). Post the rules.

3). Write 7 things about yourself.

4). Name 7 fave blogs.

5). Send email to 7 blogs to say that they have been tagged.
Ookie, so one and two are done.

Seven things about me?
1/ I once saw Ewan McGregor outside Boots in town. He was with his wife. He is smaller than I imagined. He was here filming 'Little voice'.2/ I am divorced and have been on my own for lots of years, I think about eight now. :/ i am nobody's little weasel.
3/ I get crushes on people on tv (probably due to 2/) I was devastated when I found out John Simm was happily married, because of course he'd be straight to my house wooing me if not/and if he knew I was actually alive. (I have been mad about John Simm since the early nineties when I saw him in an episode of 'Chillers')
4/ I have naturally curly long blonde hair and spent most of my youth straightening/crimping it and wishing it were jet black.
5/ I have a brother who is three years older than me. He has a good job, married a lovely girl, has two great kids. He did everything in the right order, I tend to do things back to front. I disliked my brother when I was younger, now I think he is one in a million.
6/ I love Pandas7/ I have an underactive thyroid.
Whoa bet you are all blown away now. So I pass this onto:

Mother's pride
Sal's snippets
Gill at Lucy Locket
Raindrops on Roses
Shabby Shac
Ragged Roses
Moogsmum

Sorry if you don't like being tagged, (hurrah if you do!) it is entirely up to you all if you want to tag others, I completely understand if you don't. :D

Now the award. I have to list the rules as well as hand it out so here goes. (So many rules so little time!)

Rules:

The definition of "Arte y Pico" (Art & More) is an award that is given to bloggers who share their art and creativity making their contribution to the blogger world.

1)Pass it on to 5 more bloggers who deserve this award for creativity, design and interesting materials as well as their contribution to blogland.

2) Each award has to have the name of the author and also a link to his or her blog to be visited by everyone.
3) Each award winner has to show the award and put the name and link to the blog that has given her or him the award itself (please and thanks).

4) Award-winner and the one who has given the prize have to show the link of "Arte y Pico" blog, so everyone will know the origin of this award.
5) To show these rules.

So I have linked to Twiggy up at the start of the post. I now choose to give this award too:

Dollybelle's peepshow
Lucy Locket recycled her pocket

So there you go. I shall try to catch up on blogs tomorrow when hopefully I won't be moving furniture/ visiting hospital or hoovering.
