PHEW…here I go:
Creative…give me any empty surface, cake, cookie, paper, cloth; I’ll fill it. I love decorating, craft, painting.
Impatient…wish I wasn’t, especially with kids in the kitchen.
Multitasker…or virtual octopus; usually trying to kill myself trying to achieve more than possible!!
Rational…on most days…
& Exasperating…on others!! I need logical reasoning for anything & everything.
Efficient…*blush*…that I like to believe!!
I have also just been tagged for another meme by Ivy @ Kopiaste, my dear Greek friend & I’m delighted to say that this tagging is fairly recent. (Note, the efficiency fits in quite well here). Thanks for tagging me and for once I can say I’m not late…

‘Cosmos’ flowers growing in our summer garden
The daughter getting crafty with her current obsession…Scoobie strings!
Me getting obsessed with clicking anything that I stumble across…
Drooling over 3 books a very dear friend from school just sent me…for no reason at all!!
Thanks for still being here!!
Oh how fun! I will see how quickly I can get this meme out…. I’ve now lost track of how many I need to do now. I LOVED reading yours! Your are such a fascinating, genuinely nice person & I’m so happy to know you.
Tanti baci, girlfriend,
Amy
Deeba loved reading your meme.
me too get the shivers when i have to bare my soul 🙂
You have been watching the pirate movie Matie 🙂
Here my daughter also went through a scoobie do period
It was great to learn a little more about you Deeba (and your daughter too):D
Thanks Deeba for doing the Meme. I enjoyed reading it and your meme reveals a lot more than words say e.g. what a caring mother you are, always mentioning your children. The Scoobie do fashion was here three or four years ago and I used to sell these in the bookshop/stationery store I had. Girls were crazy about them, so was my daughter.
We must also thank your friend who sent you the books because I am sure we will also benefit when you start reading them.
Hey there bella…this was fun & didnt take as long as 30 questions used to be during exams!! And yo get full marks either which way!! YAY…will wait to lap up yours!!
Hi HC…glad I’m quite normal then. Most meme’s make me run a mile!
Hi there Val…just got back from reading yours & the beautiful Father’s day post too. Loved it!
Thanks Ivy…this is the 2nd time she’s picked up this craze. You are quite right…the last time she drove all of us nuts, was when we visited the UK 4 years ago. My fingers used to get knotted up just looking at her!! Thanks for tagging me…was great fun!!

Yay! Thanks! I totally agree with you with the smells 🙂 But I think your daughter and I will probably have to convert you on your fast food aversion!!! Get ready for a salt and fat trip!!
