My Place and Yours-Behind The Camera

My Place and Yours has found a new home at Hello Owl  and Danielle has probably thought of the hardest theme of all-for me anyway. I HATE photos of myself!!! Probably no different than half the population on earth really . Anyway I decided to get in the spirit of things and aimed the camera at myself and happy snapped away. This is the only one I could show you, I promise the rest were a disaster!
 
Well thats the hard part over...............! In my house I have-a husband, one child if sixteen is still a child ( three other children have grown up and moved away) 2 cats, soon to be 3, 2 dogs, one of which sleeps with us everynight (but she's only little!!), 3 axolotyls, 3 goldfish, a budgie, 4 chooks and my newly acquired yesterday, bantam rooster. I live about 5 minutes away from a small country town, don't like cities, hate the snow and I'm only 3 hours drive from Mt Kosciousko. I work part time at a tolerable but not wonderful job, Sew/create as much as I can and do housework when I have to. I have never met face to face one of my best friends but can talk to her for hours at a time on the phone (which we do often) My favourite shops are Op Shops and Second hand shops, I am a self confessed hoarder/Collector. My husband who doesn't believe in Computers thinks I spend too much time on the Computer but then he hasn't got a Blog and doesn't realise how much time you have to put in visiting all the other amazing bloggers out there!!!!  And that was the easy part.

What an amazing blue...now if I could get my husband not to believe in computers the house would be far less cluttered lol although i would never give them up i'd miss my bloggy friends. rx

Oooh - your place sounds wonderful with all your animals. I adore bantums You have to have at least one little dog that sleeps with you. Mine sleeps beside my bed - except when my husband is away and then he's allowed in with me.

Hi Jackie, it's lovely getting to know you :) i'm amazed how much we share in common..hoarding/collecting love of cats/chooks/crafting and blogging of course...never enough hours in the day, damn shame :(
btw i also have four grown kids & a part-time job.
we also share a love of country living..our 2 acre plot is only five mins from the nearest town & less than 2hrs from Melb..i reckon that's just about perfect!

The eyes most certainly have it - they're gorgeous. Love your post and I agree that we should stay 39 forever ;) Thank YOU so much for visiting Jackie. xo
