Okay, next I was TAGGED by the aforementioned Glenda (Tkalac). For this tag I am instructed to list 7 Strange things about me and 6 Random Facts about me. I think I will combine the two and give you:

Seven Strange Random Facts About Me

1. I type with my toes. Yep. It's like a nervous tick. I don't actually put my toes on a typewriter, but as I'm watching t.v. or doing other things, I find that my toes are going thru the motions of typing what people are saying. Sometimes I don't notice I'm doing it until my calves start to hurt. I believe this comes from so many years of typing for a living.
2. I once drank soap directly from the squirty dispenser in a restaurant bathroom. Okay, I was a child and it was bright green and smelled like limes. Who could resist that?
   
3. I once shoved a barbie doll flower so far up my nose that I had to have it extracted at the doctor's office. My mother realized I had done it because my nose was "whistling". What can I say - I was a curious kid.
4. Most of the injuries I have had in my life have come just after I utter the words "Look What I Can Do!" You'd think I would learn.
   
5. I love to sing. Alot. All Day Long. Which is not to say I'm good at it. I just love it. Luckily, I have a husband who does not find this annoying. In fact, he does it too! (a match made in heaven I tell ya)
6. I also tend to jump around alot. I jump up and down when I'm happy. I bounce around when I talk. I dance while I make the bed. This might have something to do with all the Code Red I drink. But I'm not sure.
   
7. I love to be up REALLY late at night. There's something about nighttime that seems so magical to me. It's when I feel the most creative. On the weekends, there have been times when I'm working on a layout and notice the sun coming up before I realize how late it is. I don't see this as strange, but some of my friends do, so I figure it counts!
   

Okay, so now - who should I tag??? I tag all the people above that I gave my BFF award to! If you got an award you are tagged!

I will leave you with my layout for Week Six of the Project Catwalk Challenge. The challenge was to create a layout using very few supplies, but still creating a dramatic impact. I chose to make a list of 49 Things I Am Grateful For on my 49th Birthday:

That's all for today folks! Don't forget to head on over to Scrapping The Music to check out this week's challenge (if you haven't already). The Song is "Don't Give Up" by Eagle Eye Cherry and it's a good one!

P.S. Only one day til we can reveal our week seven submissions for Project Catwalk!

P.S.S. Only three days left til the Premiere Kit Reveal at Shop Crop Suey!

It's fun having things to look forward to!

Peace, Love and Sunshine to you all!
