I've been very busy lately, so haven't made time to blog. However my good friend Mariana tagged me, so I will make time now to list 8 random facts about me. These were the rules:

1-post these rules
2-each person tagged must post 8 random(... hopefully interesting) facts about themselves
3-tags should write a blogpost of these facts
4- at the end of the post 8 more bloggers are tagged and named
5-go to their blog and leave a comment telling them they're tagged.

I'm following through with #s 1-3, but I'll leave 4 & 5 to your imagination . . .

Random facts:
1. My favourite color is green, I am partial to dark greens (like forest green) and light grayish-greens (like sage).
2. I have four lovely children.
3. I like to travel (but don't get to anymore, just up and down the road to my mom's and to the kids' schools. When they're all on their own maybe I'll get to travel again . . .)
4. I love antiques and old houses.
5. My hair color is light brown, now seriously flecked with gray (and coloring my hair is just not me).
6. I like khaki clothes.
7. My house is a mess (I just don't spend any time on it!).
8. I love my Flickr friends!

I thought I would add a picture here to go along with these random facts, a Photoshop experiment I did from a photo of me:

I've tried to upload this as an icon for my Blogger account, but just as in the past it won't take any picture I upload to it, I have no idea why . . .
