When you make a conscious choice to be happy, no one can take it away from you because no one gave it to you: you gave it to yourself.

Saturday share

I don't know where you are, reader, but here in Somerset it's pretty awful out there. Rain and wind. Yep full on auntumn/winter hitting us now.

As soon as Halloween has gone Christmas starts popping up everywhere. I love Christmas. But being a crafter has taken the gloss off somewhat. The last few years I've made my cards, feeling that my friends and family expect a handmade card from me.

Well not this year. Only my very close family and friends will get a card from me. In lieu of the rest I am going to make a donation to my fundraising. It's a personal thing that I've done throughout 2015. You can find out more and see my page for donations. My charity is HMSA.

I wanted to give back to the charity that has supported me with advice & information booklets all for free. I've already raised so much more than I thought. But to take the total over £500 will be amazing. I'm nearly there!

So those cards that close family/friends will get will be of the wobbler version!

 This card actually wobbles when stood up. I bought the kit ages ago but not used it. So over the next few weeks I will share my wobblers as I make them.

My Q & A daily journal asks - 

Who is your hero?

Well that's a huge question. I have many people that I hold in high esteem from many catergories -

Stephen King the author - always loved his work and would love to have a chat with him.

Darrell Clarke, Bristol Rovers manager - this wonderful man inspired my football/soccer team to promotion last season taking us back to the league from the non-league conference. 
 Yes I did dye my hair blue! This is my son Keagan and I with Darrell. Taken this May.

The Queen - I've always been fascinated by the Royal family but especially her majesty.

Most importantly My parents, my brother, my son and best friends - they constantly support me, help me and are always there for me.

So tell me who is your hero?

Take care Zo xx

Meeting The Queen

Before anyone gets excited I confess I haven't actually met the Queen. Maybe one day!


I'm saying this as my daily Q & A journal asks - 

What famous living person would you like to meet?

I've always been interested in the Royal family. The Queen along with Princes William and Harry and now, of course, The Duchess of Cambridge and Prince George are who I like to read about and see what they have been up to, but anyone with royalty in them is of interest.

If I did meet The Queen I think I would ask her how she balances life as a public servant with her own private life and does she feel that the two are actually separate? 
We know so much about them that even their private lives are played out on the internet and in the papers. 

I would also ask her if there is anything she wishes she had done differently? Do I think she would answer that, I'm not so sure she would.  

I do love that we know she writes a daily diary. One day that maybe made public or just snippets. I'm sure her diary will give unbelievable insight to her life.

What famous living person would you like to meet?
