Thank you Siggy (I think)! I've been tagged!

Very talented and utterly amazing artist Sigrid Frensen tagged me and asked me to share 7 facts about myself. If you don't know Sigrid's work, you MUST check her botanical drawings, which make me totally envious!

Ok, these are the rules:
1. Link to your tagger and list these rules on your blog
2. Share 7 interesting/random facts about yourself on your blog
3. Tag 7 people at the end of your post, leaving their names as well as links to their blog
4. Leave a comment on each of their blogs to let them know they've been tagged!

1. I was born on Easter Sunday. That has always made me feel special.
2. I suffer from shortness. I'm only 5'2" so I wear heels to compensate.
3. I wish I could design and build houses (hence the "chicken house"). When I was in grade school, I designed a 4-story home with an indoor pool and all the amenities a young girl would want. I probably would have painted all the rooms pink if it came to fruition.
4. I don't like being hot. I've actually plan where I live to ensure cool breezes year round.
5. I am grouchy on only three occasions, when I have not had my morning coffee, when I'm hungry, and on occasion, when I'm PMSing. Other times, I'm rather pleasant to be around.
6. I am studying Greek language at the moment (Yay, Rosetta Stone!). I totally realize that Spanish is a more practical language to learn but ... I still have dreams of backpacking through Greece.
7. When I sit with my little fluffy chickens they make me so happy that I worry I'll be one of those "chicken people" that call their hens "girls" and talk incessantly about them. (It's already happening! Yikes!)

This is a little artcard that I drew earlier and is now in the possession of a dear friend, Mariana Musa, in France.

Really, born on Easter Sunday? That I did not know.

Sigrid Frensen said...

Bwahahahahaaa! At least you didn't call me little limp wristy sigry.... and eeehm... you are sooooo welcome! Knowing you are an Easter Chick yourself explains a lot now.... ;-)

Hey Ryan ... yup, since you were the first to list your facts, I certainly didn't want to be the last! : )

Kate ... yes, you are a Christmas Eve baby and I am an Easter Sunday baby!

Siggy Piggy *endearingly*, LOL! I guess it is in my genes! Really, thanks for the tag. That was fun!

I'm 5'2" too ... it's not short, it's petite :D When you go backpacking in Greece I'm expecting you to take a break and visit me in Provence. I am EXPECTING it ...

You DO realize that this is my favourite painting of all time, don't you? I treasure it. Hugs.
