4: who could put their shoes under my bed anytime??? well this one took some serious thought...if it was to be a real person then definately Jon Bon Jovi...but if i could choose a fictional character from a book to come to life then i would MOST definately have to say either WRATH or ZSADIST from the black dagger brotherhood books by JR Ward...i LOVE all the brothers but those two are my favs!!!

5: book or movie: definately book...i have become totally addicted to reading again and read for a little while every day..last year i read 139 books!!

6: the most embrassing thing: well i went skinny dipping once with someone and it lead to other things happening...luckily no one came along until we were getting out of the water but that was bad enough for me....hehehehehe

7: 3 wishes if stuck on and island; ...cottage with indoor plumbing...if i was single....a hunky male with no attitude problems and if not then my family of course...hehehehehe...and the third thing....music and books to pass the time....i love my scrapping but reading and music really do help to keep me sane!!! well as sane as i get......

8: fav scrap product: at the moment i am just lovin pattern papers that can be fussy cut....that way you have paper and embellishments all in one!!

9: my first kiss: was with a boy we called Robbo...it was awful and i was so nervous...but you know what they say...practice makes perfect!!! hahahaha....

10: dream holiday: i have always wanted to go to Canada

11: favourite body part: the eyes...it may sound corny but i think you can really tell alot from a persons eyes....a very close second is a really really nice butt!!!! oohlala!!! you just can't beat a nice butt!!! hehehehehehe

12: fav scrap technique:...i am into edges at the moment wether it is torn, distressed, punched or cut out....i am over all the layout having nice straight lines!

13: something that makes me angry : trucks drivers who think that cause they are in a bigger vehicle they can just pull out into traffic whenever they like....my hubby is a truckie so it causes some interesting chat in this house...and i do know they don't all do it but the ones that do i'd love to biff em'.....

14: stamps or rub-ons: definately stamps...i do use rub-ons sometimes but with stamps at least you can pick the colour to suit what you are doing perfectly..and you can use them over and over again!!
