Time to think

Postcards Have been pecking my head since I saw darcys adventure posted.

I've regretted starting the writing. Some people seem to have a plan. And a plot So over the next two weeks I'm going to write the story. Get a bit of flesh to my peeps and I might even decide on names

How they know each other

Year

Plot.
K has had enough she needs "somebody to love"
S recognises queen lyrics

S has been cruel. Cruel to Be kind? Cruel maliciously
Thinking friend cruel to be kind. Home truths maybe?!

Austria gave k time to think.

S is in Spain AGAIN but is there for k

K goes to brazil and feels in control but not ready to forgive. Forgive S or a third party?
But k wants s to go to brazil does he go?

Where to next?

The only thing I have decided is K's cards will be girly S' cards will be a tad more matcho. Well that's the plan

Postcard 03 Brazil

Tbh I haven't enjoyed brazil. I just kept thinking football booooo and meat. Mmmmm meat. Errr come on woman postcard.

Ok so what else do I think of. The Brazilian denim shops in Florida. Ok we might be getting somewhere and what made it Brazilian other than the name. Ahhh the flag!

Ok how the hell do I do that. Errrr collage I was thinking glossy magazines but as the deadline is today and it's past 11. I'm up at 6am. Ok what papers have I got lets get ripping

Update 20/01/12. Added some stars to the world. And some stickers I got in £ shop cos they are pretty .

Postcard 02 Spain

Viva Espana

I've been to Spain a lot so I've used some pictures I took last time I went ok it was Lanzarote but it's close enough

I am quite happy with this.

No words but there is a background

The background pictures are all ones I've taken on my iPod touch using instagram or hipsamatic apps.

Apologies all the pictures are all over the place. I've just updated the old. iPod to ios5 and it's not autorotating any more

Postcard 01

Darcy I will add links soon. (see i have linked) Set a post card challenge. And I love postcards my ears pricked up

I don't consider myself arty in any way I take photos I doodle and that's my limit

I saw some of my friends had joined. In and I thought sod it I wanna play!

So the challenge is create oust cards a story and 2 characters

Since I saw the post my mind has been working over time.

Country 1 was Austria. This is a country I have visited twice I was only in second and third year at high school I remember the highlight was finding a McDonald's oh how cultured we were!

It's a beautiful country and I want to find some of my photos to decorate my background.

Inspired by my friend sue. If I've been to the country of the week I want to include pictures from there.

Ok post card. I'm really not happy with it but I will share

Bet you can't guess who my inspiration is?!

UPDATE 20/01/12 - i go on holiday tomorrow but as i'm actually on the computer i wanted to flesh out my post a little bit.

Yes you guessed correctly my inspiration is Klimt and the painting Hope.

I used to have a posted of the kiss on my wall and i even have a book about Klimt, i was so inspired by his work when i was doing my textiles GCSE (i got an E - says it ll really!)

i got a bit giddy colouring in with pencil crayons i'd got free from H&M (yes the clothes shop) which was just on a scrap of note pad paper then i started with the buttons, on my way home from work i popped into Paperchase (never a good idea) and i might have accidently purchased some pro markers.

i prob should have shopped around bought on line but i don't care they got me what i wanted, the pack i've got is comic book 2 ( it think) i used the poppy for the background, and a brown that has turned out quite gold got the circles. and i left the boobies out!

i also got a fab book in the sale to use, i was just going to use an existing note book i had but the postcards are almost the same size this pad has a spiralbound spine so room for extra pages and the pages are almost card like with a fab (almost) square lines whicgh i'm happy to have showing.

i haven't looked for the Austia pictures yet. why did they not have digital cameras back then?!

the flag is just printed out and the pen is a calligraphy from a pack i got from asda i think you get 8 in a pack 2 blue, red, green and black.

Happy and "Life's a journey not a destination".part 2

My facebook is not playing tonight so posted here, but will add to the group album as soon as i can. Because i used a cheat shot for my promt yesterday i took a real pic today, i'm stood waiting to cross the road outside work, i turned it sepia to make it look a bit prettier!!! I have been looking for happiness all my life!!! well for the past 2 days trying to find a shot to take and could i find one could i heck!!! well after braving Slimming world after a week off and basically eating what i wanted i couldn't face the scales and to make it worse i couldn't wi 1st!!! but i amazingly lost 3lbs!!!! so i found my happiness on the scales but they arn't so pretty either!!! so when i got home i needed my tea (can't eat before i get weighed!) i discovered it was wine monday (aka no work tomorrow!) please don't get me wrong i very rarely drink during the week but i've had a day from hell, but those scales made it worth it!!! i digress, i couldn't just have wine for tea so i have made cheese n bacon toasties and yes i am allowed them!!! (just maybe not the wine!) Don't you think I tunes can be spooky, i was thinking of a quote to put and I tunes chose for me!!! (it wanted the word to be happiness but who am i to argue with technology!) so I tunes presents Jimi Hendrix ~ Wind Cries Mary! After all the jacks are in their boxes And the clowns have all gone to bed You can hear happiness staggering on down the street Footsteps dressed in red And the wind whispers mary

Coming Soon....

HSMSHS, this coming week is having a 'Project week'. A mini project that lasts just 5 days. If you are a regular player, a little change in our set up will inject a little variety hopefully into your photography. If you lurk on our blog and have never played along before, this is your chance to jump in!

Play along on all 5 days or dip in and out as time allows.

HSMSHS 'Project Week' - 5 days - July 13-17 - Tell Your Friends !!! Nature's Beauty - Day 1 We're having a little shake up in our routine this week and decided to have a project week! 5 days, 5 prompts but all with one common theme - 'Nature's Beauty'. There's no end of inspiration at this time of year. You can step out into your garden, local park, beach, field, mountains. Snap the flowers, trees, landscape, people, animals. We will be giving you all 5 of this weeks prompts today, so you can have a little time to prepare. Please link your contribution (directly please to the photo not simply to your blog) as at the end of the week we will be producing a gallery of images to be posted here on HSMSHS of all contributions. By linking your photo in the comments section you give approval for us to post the photo on this blog. So, Here's a brief outline of the project ..... Nature's Beauty All 5 prompts from this week will come under the over-arching theme of Nature's Beauty. However, for each day there is a sub-heading which are as follows : Monday - Yellow Tuesday - Green Wednesday - Purple Thursday - Pink Friday Red If you would like a little extra challenge, try some Macro photography.
