The day I saw sparks...

This is my secret for Wednesday, I can't believe we are half way through the week already. This AI is about making one decision in your life which ultimately influences everything else that is going on. For me that decision was a bad one, and I have been dealing with the repercussions for the last few months. Is this a secret you can relate to your own life? Have a great day, enjoy!

The day after Barbara Windsor...

My secret for Tuesday. I created this AI by taking a beautiful image and writing over it with a gold pen. I spent the day taking and picking up the kids I look after to and from school (and I have the same thing again tomorrow). I am actually really tired even though I napped in the day. How has your week been so far? enjoy!

The day I saw Anna...

Yesterday I went to go and see my good friend Anna in Ealing. She is leaving to go to Japan so it was nice to catch her before she went. I also saw my friend Pete and went to the cinema to see Alice in Wonderland (quite good) in 3D (not so good). I created this secret by making a cut out chain using white paper and scissors. I used some pens and black card to do the rest. Enjoy!

The day I forgot to post...

I am sorry for being so rubbish (again) with my blog. I have been quite busy since we got home and when I haven't made secrets it is just too difficult to find the time. Don't worry though - I made some time this evening and have created some in advance. This AI was made by using an image from a magazine and a biro. I love when a series of images come together like this, it is almost as though a memory is being pieced together through pictures, does that make sense? enjoy!

The day we left Devon...

This is my favourite secret from the selection at http://www.postsecret.blogspot.com/ today. I have often thought that I would love to have photographs to remind me of private moments. There is something contrived about getting people together in a photograph - it doesn't capture a moment really, maybe just that event. I love to take photos of people when they aren't ready or when they aren't expecting it, they are often much better but it doesn't make you popular. Who do you wish you had more photos of/with? enjoy!

The day we went to Alf Resco...

My secret for Saturday here. Devon was really lovely, it was nice to get away and to be able to relax for a while. To create this secret I used a beautiful image found in a magazine - isn't it sexy? I love pale skin and red lips. I will post my favourite postsecret in a couple of minutes and then my own secret a little bit later. Have a great Sunday afternoon, enjoy!

The day I went on holiday...

...if you can call it a holiday? This is my secret for Friday. I will be coming back on Sunday so my weekend secrets will have to wait until then. I created this AI by using some silver letter stickers and bits from magazines. Some of the secrets recently have been really hard for me to reveal and I feel a little bit stumped when I have to creatively design something which is so horrible/painful to write. This secret is no exception. I actually really need to get away for a while. There isn't really anyone at home yet and with everything else going on it has felt a little bit lonely. Once I come back things should start to get a bit better as most of my friends will be around and by then I should have my scan results (I hate waiting). Any plans for the weekend? enjoy!

The day I forgot my cider...

This is my secret for Thursday. Instead of going to Amsterdam we are going down to Devon for a few nights which should be nice. I created this secret by using a train ticket and a marker pen. There is something totally cathartic about cutting up an item which represents a specific day or period in your life. I hope you have a great weekend, enjoy!

The day I went to Winchester...

This is my secret for Wednesday. I am going to Winchester today to see a really good friend and then meeting up with my cousin tomorrow for lunch. Unfortunately my trip to Amsterdam with my family has been cancelled because of the BA strikes - we are, however, going to go and stay in a hotel in Devon instead which should still be nice. I created this secret very simply by using a red pen. There are some secrets that don't need to be designed - this is one of them. I had actually planned to just have the whole secret written along the bottom, but when I wrote it out seeing the secret in front of me as a whole made me terribly sad. This, somehow, is easier for me to look at. Hope you have a great day, enjoy!

The day I saw Tom...

Here is my secret for Tuesday. I have a busy day planned - babysitting and seeing a friend whilst preparing for my trip to Winchester. Unfortunately I have to get up in about four hours time, big mistake staying up so late even though it was fun catching up with an old friend (am I old enough now to class people as 'old' friends?). Have a lovely day, enjoy!
