Recently, I was tagged by my long-lost blogging friend Prodoceo.  The tag involves posting five quirky things about yourself, which is very, very difficult for me because I am very normal.  I'm talking very normal.  I mean I just don't have many quirks.  I fretted and sweat about this all weekend, but I've finally come up with five things which just might be considered quirky.  Maybe.  Possibly.  But probably not.  I think you will probably find me exceedingly normal after reading this.  I warned you.....

1.  I have double-jointed fingers, hands, wrists and toes.  I can do all sorts of weird things with my joints.  Look at this...

See my thumbs?  All I'm doing is kneading bread dough, and I just naturally turn my thumbs out.  I do the same thing with my wrists all the time, and I don't even think about it being weird until someone says, "Gross!"  I can also bend my thumbs all the way back to touch the back of my wrist.  It's a neat party trick.

2.  I have a thing for dressing up my pets in hats and clothes.

That's just a sampling.  I have many, many shots of each pet in various stage of dress.  It's a hobby of mine.

3.  I take a lot of pictures of my feet in order to record my presence at various places and events.

4.  I have to use a koozie for my canned drinks.  I just don't like holding wet cans, and then they also stay cold for longer.  Please see the exhibit below, to the right of my chair...

Another highly interesting tidbit is that I don't drink much soda.  The above canned drink is a carbonated water...one of my very favorite drinks!

5.  I take pictures of most of the cards that I make and send people because I'm a little afraid that I might make them a similar one in years to come...

Ewww...that last one I got a little sloppy with the glue.  Sorry to whoever received that one!  I guess it might help my system if I noted who the various cards were for....?

I think now I'm supposed to tag five more people or so, but that's yet another quirky thing about me:  I hardly ever follow the rules of these tags.  Sorry!  If you feel like sharing your quirks, by all means do.  I found it very therapeutic.

We need to pass along all Tags that we do not receive from Prodoceo to Prodoceo, as that seems to be the only way to get that wonderful writer back to her blog! So, please unquirk your last quirk with future Tags and at least send them her way.

By the way, feet pictures are fine, as long as they are not scratch-and-sniff!

My son is double jointed like that. He loves to freak people out with it. I think it must be one of the perfect things to have when you are a teenage boy. Your cards are so cute.
Blessings,
Dawn

The "Hoppy Birthday" card belongs to one of my kids. I think Braden b/c it went with the Webkinz frog you got him. So that make two of your examples cards sent here.

and the dog in the sweater is quite handsome, though I don't know about the Cats in the Hats. Dr. Suess would have been proud.
What a wonderful job on the cards. I wouldn't fret about the glue. The camera sees more than our eyes.
Cool tag.
