Ice breaker.

About me, originally uploaded by glumpire.

I'm spring cleaning. Yes it's high time I set to work with my feather duster and blew the cobwebs from my blog, which has been very much neglected these past few weeks, months, years ... 
And as a thank you to all my visitors who despite the sporadic nature of my ramblings still swing by for a look see I've decided to surprise one of you with a gift or two from the Spiralling Store.
All you need to do is make an "Ice Breaker" mosaic of your own and post a link to your blog or flickr page in the comments section below along with a cheery hello and anything else you might like to add :D
Anyone can enter, worldwide.
Closing date will be midnight on the 10th of June 2008 (GMT). Prize draw will take place on the 11th of June 2008.
Start gathering your four leaf clovers, rabbits feet and horse shoes ... and be lucky!


The concept:
a. Type your answer to each of the questions below into Flickr Search.
b. Using only the first page, pick an image. The easiest way is to head over to fd's flickr toys  and use the mosaic maker, you can paste the url of each picture in as you go.
c. Copy and paste the html into your blog or Flickr stream.

The Questions:
1. What is your first name? - Velda
2. What is your favorite food? - Mashed Potato
3. What high school did you go to? -  Belfairs (seems like nobody from the girls school has uploaded any pix so this will have to do! Thank you boys :D)
4. What is your favorite color? - Sparkle
5. Who is your celebrity crush? - Gale Harold
6. Favorite drink? -  Water
7. Dream vacation? -  Perth WA (big wave to the family!)
8. Favorite dessert? - Trifle
9. What you want to be when you grow up? - A Swan
10. What do you love most in life? - Surprises
11. One Word to describe you. - Dreamer
12. Looked up my flickr name and found something about me - Ha, Decole, who'd have thunk it *wink*

Hey Steph, I don't think it matters if it's not about you ... Try splitting your flickr name in two, you'll find a bunch of cute stuff. I wonder if you'll chose my fav from what's on offer *wink*

Yay Sarah, nice of you to swing by, I was beginning to think nobody wanted a chance of grabbing some freebies!

P.S. Gale went out with a friend of mine for a few years & I met him. He's even lovelier in person.

Hey everyone, thank you so much for the links. I've really enjoyed getting to know a little more about you all.
Violet Crumble, I tried to leave a comment on your blog telling you how jealous I was of your Gale connection, honestly, I'm literally green from head to toe with envy. Good to hear he's not just gorgeous on the outside :D
If you have any candid photos or titbits you'd like to share I'm all ears and eyes *grin*
Good luck to you all, the odds are looking pretty good for the handful who've posted. Did i make this too hard? Ho Hum, we shall see.
