Tagged, I got tagged. I didn't really know what it meant but it made me feel like a proper blogger when Anne tagged me. I have ignored it for a week mainly due to lack of time but also because I was a bit daunted by doing this post. Then I decided it might be fun?? As I tell my boys if you don't really want to do something but know you should then just enjoy it and get on with it. So here goes ....

I have decided like Anne just to tag one person. Val of DottyCookie - it has to be you!

The reason I've chosen Val is that we actually met in real life last week. It is the first time I've met another blogger and {close your eyes Val} I approached the morning thinking  .... well ... I needed to go into town anyway and I could always get away early and go shopping. Well that didn't happen! Needless to say we ran out of time chatting away and have plans to meet up again, probably when I get stuck on the dress I'm going to make and need her help or when Val needs to visit the new shop I introduced her to.
