Here is my secret for Saturday, I hope you like it. This secret was created by using some of the very cool wrapping paper I saved from my Grandfather's Christmas presents (a box of truffles and a box of after eights...he gave my 16 year old brother a flask with an attached over the shoulder strap). The snow seems to be slowly going which means I get my car back but it does mean I might actually have to go back to uni at some point....and pack, eugh. Enjoy!

The day I worried...

So here is my secret for tomorrow, it was created by using some coloured paper and letter transfers - I hope you like it. I am not sure what I have planned for tomorrow, it is too snowy to go anywhere despite desperately wanting to go shopping. Even if I did venture out the house what is the likelihood that many shops will be open? My mum freaks out everytime I approach my car so it is probably safer for everyone if I am stay in - that does give me time to do some more sewing though. I don't have much time now before I go back to Oxford which is pretty scary. What do you have planned for tomorrow? snow permitting, of course. Enjoy!

The day I sewed...

This is a very appropriate secret right now as I have been watching loads of 'Gilmore Girls'. I have been sewing this evening on my new machine making some hairbands. School is cancelled tomorrow for the kids I look after and their au pair is stranded in Hungary so I am going to be spending all day with them again. This secret was created by using a photo of the lovely Alexis Bledel and some copper coloured metallic glue. Have another nice day in the snow, enjoy!

The day it snowed...

IT IS SNOWING! A couple of week ago when it snowed and everyone was so excited I was still in Oxford and there was no snow. It happened to be the day I was leaving so I eagerly anticipated coming home and enjoying the snow there. We passed snowy tree after snowy tree on the motorway and then when we got back home there was no snow. It seems that the two places I spend my time were outside the snow bubble which engulfed the country - NOT NOW. It is snowing and I am so excited. Rant over, this secret was created by using a photo, some letter transfers and a silver glue pen. Anyway, I hope you like it and I hope you have fun in the snow. Enjoy!

The day I made magnets...

I am sure everyone does this a little bit. I get it from my mother, she is constantly telling very unfunny jokes which she finds hilarious - she often misses the punchline too. This secret was created by using some coloured paper and letter stickers (don't judge me but I stole them from a child). I have had the longest day (8am - 6pm) looking after two children that I have babysat since I was about 13. We get on really well and we watched 'The Witches' which is one of my all time favourite children's films. All in all I have had a really great day but I am exhausted. I am going to watch 'Jonathan Creek' (the best tv show ever made) with my brother and my sister now. Enjoy!

The day my head hurt...

This is my secret for Monday. It was created by using a board marker pen and some silver glue. I have a load of stuff to do tomorrow (stuff that I should have done today) so I will be pretty busy. Have a great day tomorrow. Enjoy!

The day things changed...

This is my chosen postsecret from the selection today. The drawing is so beautiful and the message stood out to me as something I spend a lot of time considering. There are many people in my life who I love more than I could try to explain. More often than not I don't go around telling these people that I love them, it is an unspoken bond and I prefer it to stay that way. Is this something you can relate to too? I am not sure if it is just me and my emotionally stunted mind that refrains from telling people that I love them, but I would hate for the word to lose meaning. Let me know which postsecret is your favourite from today. Enjoy!

The day you went back...

Don't you just love this paper? It is another example of my grandfather's kitsch wrapping paper.- that is right, I saved it all and there is more to come. I used the new letter stamps my mum bought me for Christmas and some ink to print the words. I hope you like this one, enjoy!

The day I answered questions...

This is my secret for today - hope you like it. It was created by using some tissue paper, rub on silver letters (cool right?) and some beautiful floral letter stickers which were part of my haul at the art shop. Postsecret tomorrow which will be amazing I am sure. For now though, enjoy!

The day I slept it off...

Happy New Year! I can't believe it has beeen a whole 10 years since the millennium. Last night was really fun and involved lots of drinking and eating. This secret was created by using part of a box that my Christmas present came in. The pattern is so pretty, isn't it? I think I am going to sleep for the rest of the day because I had about 3 hours sleep last night. Have a great day and don't forget to...enjoy!
