Being Real!

Have you ever played the camera game 'Elvis Face, Bunny Face, Scary Face' - well this is my bunny face!!
Had a great weekend celebrating my friends birthday, we had a girls day out shopping in Harrogate on Saturday while the hubbys and kids all met up in the park and had great fun. Then we came home put the kids to bed and got the girls back out on the town for an evening meal and much malarking around while the boys did the baby sitting. Yay!
I love having a laugh and feeling totally at ease and happy in my own skin. When I was younger I used to worry about being too thin, having a big nose, no boobs.. blah blah blah. Wouldn't it be boring if we were all the same.
I think the media have a lot to answer for making us all feel we should be a 'perfect' model image. I'm very happy to say I am not and I love acting the clown and have no qualms about sharing silly photo's and just being happy being me. When I think about the people I most admire and find attractive - it's who they are and how they are that makes the difference, confidence can carry people a long way :-)
If anyone else feels the same way I'd love to hear your thoughts.
(Oh yes and that is a home knit - I think it was a debbie bliss pattern, I made it some years ago!)
