Lorrie at Fabric, Paper, Thread of Vancouver has tagged me to list seven random facts about myself.   (Thanks for thinking of me, Lorrie.)  Since I generally consider myself to be fairly uninteresting, this will be a tough one (don’t you all find it much easier to write about things other than yourself?)   The hardest thing about these challenges is finding someone you can then “tag”… but I am looking around… and it just might be you.

Here are the rules:

1. Once you are tagged, link back to the person who tagged you.
2. Post the rules on your blog.
3. Post 7 weird or random facts about yourself on your blog.
4. Tag 7 people and link to them (I like Lorrie’s approach, which I will describe later.)
5. Comment on their blog to let know they have been tagged.

So… 7 weird or random facts about me…  here goes:

1.  When I was young I wanted to be a fashion designer, stay single, and never have children… (thanking God that those dreams did NOT come true, as I am now happily married with 3 beautiful children!)

2.  I once rode across a 4 lane highway in a golf cart… with my grandfather.

3.  I am so fair that the lightest makeup almost looks dark on my skin.

4.  As a young girl I had over 30 cats; I am now allergic to cats.

5.  I have coordinated several ladies retreats which took place in the Smoky Mountains.

6.  I have a bottle of perfume on my dresser, Princess Marcella Borghese’s Giardini di Montecatini XII, which lists on Overstock.com for $499.99.  Not being a huge perfume person, because I tend to get migraines from some scents, I probably have a grand total of 5 bottles of perfume in all. I first saw this brand in the original Victoria Magazine and once I had tried it, just had to have some.  (No, my hubby did not pay that much for it when he bought it for me years ago.  This price is very puzzling to me…)  Incidentally, the fragrance I wear most often is Burberry Brit.

7.  I have been doing hand calligraphy for 22 years, now.

So, I’d say those are pretty random facts.  As for the lucky ones to be tagged next, you are listed below.  (I tried to look back a bit and make sure you hadn’t been tagged for this one recently …and just so there’s no pressure, this is a no obligation tag!)
