A happy birthday to me - with a cherry on top!

Hello everyone! It's my birthday today (42 - gulp, what happened to my 30's?!!) and my first lovely surprise this morning is an award I saw from my lovely blog mate, Lisa Jane.

So with this award, here are the rules...
1. Pass this award to five bloggers who you love and inspire you
2. List 3 things you love
3. Show a picture you love and explain why

My five bloggers for this time (and this would include Lisa Jane but hey she's received too many recently!) are...

Carly - who is just brilliant at all styles, especially CAS and shabby chic (my worse!)

Mari - who always does something a little different and inspires me to too!

Emma - who is amazing at colouring

Diana - who is a caring and wonderful lady who asks after my dogs! And I love her colour combinations

Pam S - who does the most amazing things with Magnolia stamps (my new found love!)

Three things I love...

• My hubbie, Steve - the rock in my life, who grounds me and appears to adore me right back!
• My Yellow Labs, Poppy and Lulu - fun, loving and cuddly. And give me a good excuse to exercise with those mega long walks!
• The sea - the sounds and smell make me feel soulful and content

I've got a bit of a prob with my photos as they are sitting on my other computer that isn't working! So here is a photo of Lulu, now 10 months old, sitting on Winchelsea Beach in East Sussex...

Well, that't is for now, may have a card tomorrow!
