The day I did the washing...

Afternoon all. Here is my secret for Wednesday, I hope you like this one. I used an image from a lifestyle magazine to create this one - isn't it pretty? There is probably nothing better than receiving post and how lovely is it when you actually get a letter or a postcard that someone has taken the time to write by hand. Sometimes the number of virtual tools we have to communicate with other people can be overwhelming - facebook, myspace, texts, email, msn, bb messenger. I would much rather to go completely old school and write letters to everyone - it would stop you sending those shameful midnight texts or angry fb chat conversations. Don't you agree? enjoy!

The day the bins went out...

Why am I up at 9am? well, my parents have gone away on holiday (no invite for me) and as a result I have one very noisy cat and one mute cat waking me up every morning to get their breakfast. Don't panic, they are MY cats and not some bizarre cat intruders. There is no more terrifying wake up call that the piercing screech of a hungry cat, honestly. It does mean, however, that I am being very productive with my time. I have already secured myself a volunteering position, two placements in seperate schools, a job for summer and sent applied for courses. How is your week going? enjoy!

The day I wrote it...

This is my secret for Monday - I hope you like it. I created this secret by using an image taken from a lifestyle magazine. How was your weekend? Mine was pretty lazy - shopping, babysitting and sunbathing. The weather is insane here, I don't think England has seen weather like this for years and no one quite knows what to do with it (myself included). Enjoy!

The day we talked it over...

This is my secret for Sunday, don't you love the image? I cut this out from an article about an incredible exhibition of vintage clothing going on in a gallery in London in a few weeks time (I am definitely going). I'm not sure I have ever really expressed how much 1950s fashion inspires me. I don't really dress like that but I definitely would if I had the time or money to find myself some beautiful vintage clothes. What style inspires you? enjoy!

The day I picked you up...

Go and check out www.postsecret.blogspot.com for yourself today - this is my favourite secret from the selection. It can be hard sometimes to voice an opinion about the way someone else lives their life. I know I wouldn't want someone passing judgement on my actions or choices. With close friends or family it can be tough sometimes to hold your tongue and to know that keeping your mouth shut is better for everyone. This secret really represents that for me - just in the very fact that it has been sent to postsecret and not to the person it was intended for. Are there things you simply can't say to people? most of mine end up on here. I hope the weekend is going well, enjoy!

The day I went looking...

How is your weekend going so far? This morning I went looking for a navy cardigan to go with the dress I bought for my Uncle's wedding - no such luck. This afternoon we are having a BBQ and then I am going babysitting tonight. I created this secret by using some coloured pens and glue, what do you think? Enjoy!

The day I worked for charity...

This is my secret for Friday. I created this secret by using coloured pens and fabric glue. I make lists all the time, weighing up the pros and cons of a certain decision/situation etc. Most of the time the lists are formed in my head but occasionally when I have a big decision to make I will put pen the paper (or fingers to keyboard I suppose), can you relate? wish me luck with my shift tomorrow, enjoy!

The day I followed RTH...

This is my secret for today, I hope you like this one. I created it secret by using a variety of different pens and some more fabric glue (which works surprisingly well on paper). I have realised recently that I very rarely pair a lot of different colours together all in one secret - mine seem to be one controlled colour palette rather than an explosion of colour. If you know me then you know this is because I have weird issues with colours, letters and numbers - if you don't know me then just appreciate my attempt to mix it up a bit. I am doing my first shift in the charity shop tomorrow so I might post my secret for Friday a little bit later. For now though, enjoy!

The day we explored...

I had a wonderful time in Bristol but it is nice to be home with all my things around me, don't you find that when you go away for a few days? I created this secret by using an orange marker pen and some fabric glue. These colours look amazing together and I didn't even consider that when I was making it. Enjoy!

The day I went to Bristol...

This is my secret for Tuesday - I hope you like this one. I created this secret by using a purple pen and some silver coloured glue. Luckily I am going away today (to Bristol) which means I won't be able to post tomorrow but normal service will resume on Thursday. I am sure by then I will have plenty of exciting tales to tell you too. Enjoy!
