Snow!

Journal Entry: Wed Oct 29, 2008, 1:16 PM
News & Story Time...


This morning it snowed :aww:
The first snow of the year and really early to, there are loads of berries on the trees so I'm really hoping that this is the first of lots of snow and lots of lovely photo opportunities.

My new lens is lovely and I've been taking lots of pictures with it, I can't wait for the weather to get more autumn-y and for the winter to set in so I can get some really good pictures. I need to let my imagination go and start thinking outside the box so I can get some slightly more unusual or less obvious subjects as well.

I've been staying over to the traditional side having not picked up a pencil or paint brush in a long time, playing with acrylics again is wonderful, I also bought myself some markers, Copics which I have completely fallen in love with, I've been getting myself a new colour a week. I never knew that there were pens that made such wonderful colours, so I might upload some of my drawings, they're very amateur but I can always scrap them. I really have fallen back in love with it :)

When you come on here and you're browsing the art do you look at all the categories? Do you look at each type of art separately and how do you decide which categories you look at? I mainly look at traditional art, artisan crafts and photography when I don't have the time for everything, I like to trawl through them looking at everything I can.

I can't believe we're already halfway through autumn, it means its nearly November which means its nearly Christmas. Time is a scary thing.



At The Moment I Love...

Treasure Hunting!

I am treasure hunting now on every possible occasion! Car boot sales, antique shops, fairs, flee markets, e-bay, second hand book shops, charity shops, vintage clothes shops, beach combing...I am a treasure hunter and its so much fun! I'm addicted...and I don't care! Just finding something makes me feel warm and happy inside :happycry:
Its recycling at its best, everything in the world of treasure hunting is recycled and it can suit however little or much money you have to spend...for me its always little. I love beach combing, finding glass and china and shells, its just magical :aww:


Copic Markers

I already said they were good, but I can't actually express how magical they are, they create smooth flat colour but put colours on top and you can create shadows and highlights, and there are so many colours, its like a rainbow exploded and every shade of the seven colours rained down in the form of markers. I have a feeling I'm really late discovering them but I don't care, they are exciting!


Sour Cherry Lemonade

What can I say, it tastes so yummy :noes:
You know when sometimes you use soap and it smells amazing but it just isn't tastey...well this is the most wonderful soap in drinkable form! Like the cherry Chuppa Chup used to be like (best website intro ever by the way [link]) before sweets became all about trying to be healthy. So. Good.




Sleeping Beauty

Only a few more days until it comes out on DVD after about a ten years! I haven't seen this film since I was five years old and my best friend borrowed it and never gave it back. It was the scariest thing I'd ever seen so I hope it lives up to expectations! I've ordered the super special delux two disc edition that comes with the story book because I'm that cool and I might need to read along with the book to understand the more complex parts of the film. Also the box looked so magical, all the best Disney films begin with a big old beautifully decorated book opening up and this box looks like one of those books, how could I resist it!!
No one may get any Christmas presents this year but I will have the perfect edition of Sleeping Beauty :giggle:
Time to start saving!

Shoutboard

If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music he hears, however measured or far away.
(Henry David Thoreau, 1854)
