An Award :)

Susie from Susie's Cardmaking Adventures has given me this lovely award - thank you Susie for thinking of me xx

Now for the rules of this award:
I have to state 8 things about myself then pass it on to 4 bloggers, letting them know that they have got this award too...so here goes!

8 things about me:
1. As part of my degree, I lived in Montpellier in the south of France for 6 months, I went to a University for 4 months and worked in the tourist office for 2 months;
2. While in France, I developed a fear of insects, particularly of spiders, especially if they have big hairy bodies and long hairy legs!;
3. I love the Harry Potter series of books and cried when Dumbledore died!;
4. I love rock music, especially Queen, Rainbow, Led Zeppelin, Iron Maiden, Motorhead, Metallica, Gary Moore, Kiss and some modern rock bands too;
5. My mum and gran taught me to knit and crotchet when I was very young and I made scarves and jumpers;
6. I am a Teaching Assistant at a Special School and love every minute of it (and the children love my card club);
7. I love reading all genres of books - thrillers, historical, chic lit, classics, horror, autobiographies;
8. I have a fantastic hubby and two lovely sons.
