Question Time

    Every weekend I will have a blog post where I ask and answer questions.  It is a good way for readers to get to know more about me and also help me to get feedback on a number of questions.  What are your favourite clothes items - top with pants, skirts and blouses, top with shorts or dresses?  Over the years Janine and I have mainly worn dresses. Actually we last wore pants in our early teens. We just never liked wearing pants. Our mother loves pants and wears then almost all the time.  These days I only wear dresses, skirts and blouses.  
    As usual I am participating in Friendship Friday hosted by Create With Joy where this week the theme is Movies. What is your favourite movie of all time?  What upcoming Movie are you most looking forward to seeing? Do you have a favourite Book to Movie adaptation? Have you ever watched a movie that you wanted to love but hated or anticipated hating but fell in love with?  I have not watched a movie in a long time.  These days if I decide to watch a movie it would definitely be one that makes me laugh a lot.  Anyway I am a big Danielle Steel fan so I would like to see one of her books as a movie.

Bird Figurine Series - # 35

  In high school Janine and I did sewing classes but we did not keep up with our sewing. This is one of the early bird figurines that joined our collection, a cute little blue bird figurine featuring a pin cushion.

Question Time

     Every weekend I will have a blog post where I ask and answer questions.  It is a good way for readers to get to know more about me and also help me to get feedback on a number of questions. Do you collect anything?  If not, what would you collect given the opportunity?  During our high school days my twin sister and I collected postcards and stamps.  Over 20 years ago we started collecting bird figurines which grew into a huge collection.  I do not see myself starting another collection but if I did it would be clocks. I love clocks!
    As usual I am participating in Friendship Friday hosted by Create With Joy where this week the theme is Catharsis. Nature has a way of lifting my spirit so today I share my poem titled Finding Peace Amidst Nature which was one of the early posts when I started this Blog.

Bird Figurine Series - # 34

  Once Janine and I decided that an item would become a part of our bird figurine collection it would take a permanent position in our display unit. This week I feature salt and pepper shakers which have never seen salt and pepper.
