A wee interlude-let from the English Eccentrics mes red squirrels... Just for the halibut, and Mr Einstein (not genuine footage!)
Darling Artist Unplugged, who's been a little low lately, and who is such a creative soul and fabulous mom, ran this little, sort of, MeMe during Friday, April 17, 2009...
I've never done one of these before, so I am pretty nervous, mes bloggy Minute Maids...
Come On Down!!!
You're The Next Contestant......
You Want To Play???
Following a challenge chez Soulbrush, Artist Unplugged found she wanted to try this interesting 'game' and challenge.....even a dare.
Here's how it works....
The first five (5) people to respond to this post will get something made by me.
This offer does have some restrictions and limitations so please read carefully:
1. I make no guarantees that you will like what I make and/or choose.
What I give is very much what you get, mes chickies.
2. What I create and/or choose will be just for you, with love, (and light, of course, c'est Fhina, after all!)
3. It’ll be done this year (2009).
4. I will not give you any clue what it’s going to be...
It will be something made in the real world and not something cyber, (I'm not sure what this actually means, so I shall Google it!)
It may be weird or beautiful... (So, let's face it, it's probablement going to be weird knowing moi!)
Or it may be monstrous and annoying -- You might even be getting Grizz in the post at this rate of knots!
You'll know if it's Himself - He won't fit throughnthe letter-box for one thing, and your pantry and store-cupboards shall be bare...
...And he tells me it's definitely not the munchies!
Rest assured, I will not bake something for you and mail it.
I have no kitchen to speak of until 'my hand-painted-pine-kitchen-man' comes to build one in, nor do I wish to set myself up as rival to the Wimbledon Poisoner, mais non!
So, who knows? Only Fhina and La Wiki, that’s for sure!
5. I reserve the right to do something strange, and wonderful, (...always wonderful!)
6. In return, all you need to do is post this text on your blog and make/choose 5 things for the first 5 to respond to your blog post.
7. Send your mailing address - after I contact you.
8. And I am just adding this little bit, the rest of you who leave a comment here will be entered into a prize (*cough*) draw, and the first one drawn out at random by my lanky-spawny-get son, will be sixth in line for a prizelet! (And if you're 'hawt' or a babe, he'll probably enter your name twice!)... I swear I'm living in Wayne's World...
How's that for an extra-super-fun-spiffing-smashing bonus-ball?
IMPORTANT: This offer is null and void if I do not see you post your own blog to pay this forward.
This entire starry text came via Artist Unplugged, who got it from http://soulbrush.blogspot.com/ who in turn got it from

It's like the Mexican Swine Fever all over again!
Salut, mes bloggy chicken nuggets, je vous embrasse... Mwah!
Caught you unawares - Mwah!
And again!

You definitely caught me unawares! I'm just commenting but do not want to be entered into this meme as there is nothing, nothing nice I could do for the next five - poor dears!
But great idea anyway.
Hi Fhina,
This is where it gets interesting! You were wondering about dropping numbers of comments - watch this space!!!
I have already participated in this little meme via other channels so am also counting myself out but am happy(?) for my name to go in for the bonus ball - IF I'm relieved of duty!
I'm sure everything you do will be wonderful. Bonne chance!
Hello dear Fhina
I count myself out because I am so not creative to think up 5 prizes. I would screw it up.
BUT, this looks like a grand fun time!!
I love ya lady!
please don't put me in the draw - I'm much too occupied to make things for five people. But I did want to apologise again for going on about 'you know what'. Put it down to PMT, essay stress etc. It'll never happen again, so don't get paranoid

Ah Fhina, my dear friend, I have to disappoint you as well. Please forgive me and do NOT count me in; as all the "commenters" before me have said, I share those reasons too.;)
But good luck with this tag (I sure hope someone wants to play) and how lucky those are that will get a gift from you.;)
xoxo

Everyone counts themselves out! With such beautiful posts, I ca n not imagine that even a thrown away picture would be bad. Count me in.

Do I get to play since the some of the folks have exluded themselves? For sure, I will want whatever you're making. And if you send me Grizz, I will marry him off to one of my daughters and send back 2 for the price of 1. Up to you, my dear, but believe me when I make a threat!
XO

Ma chère FSI,
Ta da ! Je suis de retour.
Wot larks you have been up to in my absence (3 days in divine, delicious Devon & Cornwall visiting family and famous bluebell woods). All those eccentrics and hats to die for. Should I one day have a blog, I will post a picture of myself in a hat I made to wear to a friend's wedding.
And because I have no blog, I am excluded from your competition alors je te quitte en pleurant toutes les larmes de mon corps.
Bises tout plein.
Woohoo! You go girl! PLEASE, while I would love to meet the awesome Grizz...DON'T send me another big boy to feed! Mine is home from school for the summer and I am killing myself trying to keep that boyman fed!!!!!!!!!!!
My dahlinks, know that I have clocked you and your details, and whether you've counted yourselves in or out...
I love you dearly, and understood from seeing this sort of give-away on other blogs, such as Derrick's, that people flock away in droves, particularly if they feel they are not in a position to 'pass it on...' I fully understand, no problemo, mes bloggy parcels!
I shall get around to copying all of this out, and preparing my 'surprises' in the next few months, mes rubber-chickens...
Take care, love and light, and no, none of you will actually get Grizz in the post! I'd never be able to afford the postage!
I am, however, saving up at just this minute, to send my errant husband to any of you who'll take him! ;) xxooxx
