This is ... show off time



When Katie suggested the theme for "This is ..." this week, I knew I finally had my big chance. After all, how I was ever going to weave this into my regular posts?

Yup ... that's me pointing and clicking at my feet. Don't ask how or why .... I just can.

In fact, I can turn both feet backwards at the same time, but this freakish party trick makes me fall down.

Now I'm looking forward to heading off to see some real talents and treasures that other people are showing off! Look here if you would like to see some too.

Thanks Katie at May The Cloth Be With You for this really fun theme and to Sharon at Handmaiden who is guest hosting "This is ..." while Angela at Three Buttons is away.

  3. HB - That is freaky....in a really cool kinda way. I must confess, I am a wee bit jealous of such a marvellous party trick! The nearest I get to a p.t. is grabbing the microphone and screeching the wing beneath my wings - thankfully for you, there is no footage of this. Thanks for sharing your special talent with us.

  11. I'm impressed! That's the best secret talent I've ever seen.

    My secret talent is being able to find the end of the sticky-tape when nobody else can.... which doesn't really rate as a PARTY TRICK.
