Anita's Favourite Things

I thought it would be fun to do a self portrait for one of the challenges
I did loads at college 20 odd years ago, but none since.
Well as you can see I have not aged a bit (the wonders of clean living) Mwahhaha

I am surrounded by some of my favourite things….......

Giraffes, The Scottish Hills, Butterflys, Cup Cakes, Owls, Peace and Love, Toadstools, Being 40, Lucky Number 7, Pendulum Dowsing, Palmistry, Daisys, Rainbows, Russian Dolls, A Nice Cuppa Tea, Autumn, Stripey Scarves, The Sun the Moon and the Stars, Trees, Books, Candlelight, My Spotty Slippers, House Plants, A Spot of Anarchy, Public Transport, Native American Art, Bears, Haling Crystals, My Rose Quartz Crystal Ball, Song Birds, Silver Rings, Sweet Music, Kokeshi, Art, Cats, Handbags, Mice, Rabbits, Egyptology…................
There’s a few of my fav bubbler’s initials thrown in for good measure, coz I
LOVE Redbubble too.

This is such an verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry interesting piece of work Anita. I can remember a few years back going to a couple of local art classes and being asked to paint a picture of some of our favourite things. It reminds me of that song sung by Julie Andrews :) We have quite a few the same favs (good taste huh? ~ Anni xxxx
AnitaInverarity in reply to Anni Morris’s comment

I had fun doing this Anni- I could do several more probably with all the random things I like. Now I will be singing that song today Hee Hee and trying to figure out what your fav things are in common (well cats are an obvious of course). Hugs xx

very cute! And, mind-bogglingly well done, as well.

For some reason, you went right off my watchlist. Maybe due to glitches, maybe due to me thinking I had figured out a better way .. whatever the case, it didn’t work out well as I havent’ seen anything from you, but your lovely comments, in ages.
