The day I hopefully recovered...

Here is my secret for today - I hope you like it. Sorry about the drunk post last night...it seems to be recurrent problem (I honestly don't drink that often). My AI for today was made by layering acrylic paint onto a postcard sized piece of card. I mixed red, black, blue and yellow to create the background. I then used some letter stencils which I made (by laminating a sheet of letters and cutting then out with a craft knife) and some yellow paint to write the message across the layers already applied. I think the effect is really quite beautiful and also a little bit different from most of my secrets so far. Thank you for reading, enjoy!

The day I thought about you...

This is my secret for today - I am a little bit drunk (and also a little bit in love with Peter Allen). I created my AI for today by using a combination of felt, buttons, thread, a silver pen and a purple fineliner. It was inspired by a day which I spent making t-shirts with some children that I look after. I hope you like my post for today - I know that most of you really appeciate the effort I put into my blog and I really enjoy the fact that so many people are following it. Have a nice day and as always, enjoy!

The day I had no sleep...

Here is my secret for today, I hope you like it. I have had very little sleep and I hope this compensates for any incoherence that may follow. This secret was created by using red paper, a gold pen and some exciting gold stickers which I bought the other day. They were incredibly difficult to peel off the page and I had to resort to tweezers to complete this secret. My plan for today: sleep. Night night, enjoy!

The day my room became a little bit cleaner...

This is my chosen postsecret for today - go and check them out at www.postsecret.blogspot.com. I have picked this postsecret because it links in with a post I made a while ago about having no regrets. I always try to live by the philosophy that the mistakes you make in life shape you into the person you are - and as my close friend would say 'everything happens for a reason'. Anyway, I think it will make me happier looking at this secret all week. So for today, enjoy!

The day that things got better...

This is my secret for today - I hope you like it. It was created by using blue paper, some glitter, a gold pen and a blue fineliner (all done by hand). Hopefully today will be a day of new beginnings. The plan is to reorganise things and basically make an attempt to de-clutter my life. I will also be choosing my favourite postsecret from www.postsecret.blogspot.com to have as my background for a week and to share with you. Anyway I am sure you have better things to think about than what I will be getting up to. Have a nice day, enjoy!

The day I cleared up...

Here is my secret for today - sorry to those who were waiting for it at midnight (I was out and therefore unable to post it any sooner). I had quite a lot of fun making this secret as I was finally able to use my extensive collection of coloured pens which were used to draw the design of this AI. I have had really great feedback about AmeliaIs... from both friends and fellow bloggers - it really is fantastic knowing that people enjoy what I am doing and it definitely encourages me to keep it up. The current plan is to maintain it for at least a year, which would be brilliant. Anyway, I hope you like my post today and look forward to my secret tomorrow. Enjoy!

The day I finally had some time off...

Here is my secret for today. I spent all day looking after children and am totally exhausted. I have been excited about going to bed all evening but had to stay up to post my AI. I plan to do some shopping to find a dress for my evening out - hopefully I can find something pretty. This secret was created by using fineliners and black paper. I really like the design of it being a crossword - as it takes some effort from my readers to figure out the meaning of my secrets, or a meaning which applies to their own lives. I couldn't quite contain it within the normal postcard sized template I use - so this secret is a little bit bigger than the others, but hopefully you can't tell. I will speak to you again tomorow, for now though: enjoy!

The day I almost got to sleep in...

This is my secret for today, I hope you like it. Thank you for the comments regarding my new haircut, I am really glad you all like it. The only slight downside is that I discovered I look far too much like Lady Gaga when I wear any of my bow hairbands - and I am not quite ready to ask strangers if I can take a ride on their disco stick just yet. This AI was made by using some blue paper, a mixture of silver and blue star sequins, a silver pen and a blue fineliner. The scanner can't quite cope with the reflective quality of the sequins so you can't really see that they are different colours - but they are. Anyway, enjoy!

The day I had the most fantastic shower...

So, two very exciting things for you to have a look at today. The first of these is my secret - created by using some black card, beautiful wrapping paper (which you will no doubt be seeing more of at some point) that I cut up and a fineliner. There is something strangely magical about a birdhouse, well I think so anyway, and I have always always wanted one. The second of these two very exciting things is a picture of my new haircut. This is an opportunity for those who haven't seen it to appreciate the shortness and the fringey-ness of it. For those who don't know me it is a chance to put a face to a blogger. Either way I hope you like it - it is a bit of a drastic change for me (it still feels like a wig) and encouragement of the comment based variety would, as always, be much appreciated. Anyway boys and girls (and anyone in between), enjoy!

The day after my new haircut...

This is my secret for today. I have a busy day of looking after kids ahead of me, roll on Friday. This secret was created by zooming in on a photo of some coins (I took the photo myself...and those are the coins in my cow bank), printing off the image and then using tipex and a fineliner to write the secret. Night night, enjoy!
