i'm it!

Yay! I was tagged by Catherine from Little Glowing Lights in Australia. What fun!

What I was doing 10 years ago:
Ten years ago, I was 20 years old. I was living in Toronto, Canada attending my second year of design school. This was a tough and exciting time for me, I experienced true heartache for the first time, my family as I knew it began to change in big ways, and I was starting to figure out what it meant to grow up and really be on my own. I lived in one of the world's great cities, I had lovely friends, and found and nurtured my creative interests. The person I am today was just barely emerging.

I think I was pretty hard on myself back then. I wish I knew then what I know now.

5 things on my to-do list today:
I am a major list maker. I don't know if that is good or bad sometimes.

1. Have brunch with Josh
2. Plant herbs
3. Tidy my home office (this is on my list every day)
4. Order Dad's Fathers Day gift
5. Bake something

Snacks I enjoy:
I've heard that people are born being partial to either salty or sweet snacks. For me it is the latter. I love Red Vine licorice (and pretty much an other kind of candy), microwave popcorn, fruit, cheese, nuts and yogurt.

I'll pretty much eat anything, I'm hungry all the time.

Things I would do if I was a billionaire:
If I were a billionaire I would pay off our house and start to build the little house that Josh and I dream of having. I would get a whole pack of Yorkies for Henri to play with. I would travel more often, go to culinary school and perhaps start my own company designing handbags. I would also anonymously give money to my friends and family.

Places I have lived before:
Windsor, Ontario Canada
London, Ontario Canada
Toronto, Ontario Canada
Salt Lake City, Utah USA (current)

I never thought I would be here for the long term but it has really grown on me, life is so unpredictable.

People I want to know more about:
Tina
Kami
Emily and Laura
Marta
Natalie

the bag tag

I saw this tag from my pal Kami at The Biggie Blog and thought it was so clever, that I kinda tagged myself...hee hee.

This exercise forced me to tidy up my purse, something I've been meaning to do for a while.


{the sidekick}

So, this has been my handy little helper for the last few months. It is much smaller than I usually prefer, but I have enjoyed our time together. The two colors of leather make it a little more flexible than some other black bags I've had.



{the contents}

1. girly item 2. kleenex 3. business cards and holder 4. phone 5. wallet
6. lip glosses 7. bandages 8. purse mirror 9. sewing kit 10. led flashlight 11. red pen 12. notebook
13. burts bees heal-all 14. tide pen
15. chap stick 16. hankie 17. pill case 18. i-pod and case
19. cosmetic bag (merci, melissa)

If you feel like joining in the fun:
Take a picture of your bag, and a picture of everything inside, and display them for the world to see. I can't wait to see what you've got in there!

a taste of my own medicine

So, apparently when you tag others, you run the risk of being tagged back. Thanks Jill.

no.1 What do you want to be when you grow up? A handbag designer or "stay at home me".

no.2 If you were an animal, what would you be? I think I would be a dog (with a good owner) or a wild horse.

no.3 If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you choose? This list is too long to post...

no.4 If you could meet a famous person (alive, or not) who would it be? Coco Chanel or Jackie Kennedy

no.5 Describe your perfect day. Sleep in, yummy breakfast, snowshoeing or pilates, picnic lunch, spa treatment, play with Henri, shopping, hang out with friends, date night with Josh, kiss goodnight. This might fit into a day if it was 72 hours long.

tag, you're it!

So, I haven't been tagged, but I'm starting the game.
