I have a denim skirt that although it's a few years old, is still one of my favourites. It's kept well over the years too, probably because I haven't worn it much (really must de-fuzz my legs more and wear it!).

Instead, I took my photograph today whilst travelling from Mum's. Before you tell me off for taking pictures while driving, I was in the back seat as a passenger and this photograph was taken as we were driving along with my window open and in the drizzling rain.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">So, what was the last word prompt we were given? "SMILE"<b> </b>It wasn't until we were driving away from Mum's that I found myself smiling at the thought that I'd been brought up 4 miles from the nearest town and shop, surrounded by fields and growing crops, safe in the knowledge that as children we could play outside without fear of harm from anyone and a place where everyone knew everyone else. We were lucky in that the playing field with swings, slide and (at that time) big cement pipes to climb on and in was at the back of our house, so we didn't even have to cross a road to get there and could be seen from our garden. We never realised how lucky we were, but I know it now and I smile being thankful for that opportunity that my parents took to take us there when I was 8. Yes, sometimes it was hard as there wasn't a local shop, there was one bus a week on a Thursday to take you to the market and bring you home less than 4 hours later and it wasn't easy seeing your friends from secondary school as they lived in other villages. But, looking back on it, the good outweighed the bad. Mum and Dad never had to worry about where we were, what we were getting up to and if we were safe. How many people can say that about children nowadays? Even in tiny villages like the one I was brought up in, there's always the danger that something may happen.

I had no idea what to do for this. I could have photographed some red wine, but as I don't drink it, that wasn't going to happen. So, what to do, what to do ..... . Sitting down to my dinner tonight, I realised that I was getting full and I had hardly started eating. Quick, grab the camera and take a photo of what was making me "Full Bodied". I will apologise now for how my plate looks. If I'd known I was going to be photographing it, I would have plated it up for the camera, not just so it could be eaten. At least it shows I do occasionally cook myself a meal!!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_bWjdSPlLxVA/TBfRQ1xu6RI/AAAAAAAAD3Y/xyspMCi4xCk/s1600/Day+10+~+~+Full+Bodied.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 347px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_bWjdSPlLxVA/TBfRQ1xu6RI/AAAAAAAAD3Y/xyspMCi4xCk/s400/Day+10+~+~+Full+Bodied.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5483081158590654738" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Thanks for looking</div><div style="text-align: center;">Love, Sarah C xx</div>Sarah Chttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17282199958880205962noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2131317768187238053.post-67427209944533353922010-06-14T10:40:00.001-07:002010-06-14T10:43:27.687-07:00Creativity Boot Camp ~ Day 9 Part 2<div style="text-align: center;">Today's word prompt is "DRIZZLE".

Emptying is a great way of cleaning out all the thoughts that bog us down.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">On to today's journalling (or not as the case is). We were asked "to create in a way that you haven't for years". I haven't sketched in many years and kept intending to, so today was a good time to get out those pens and my watercolour pad and get sketching. I used to sketch photos of people (pop stars mainly) when I was in my teens, so went back to that. But instead of sketching a singer, I chose to sketch Johnny Depp as The Mad Hatter. I've realised that I'm rather rusty at this, so the only way to change that is to keep my pad and pens handy and do more of it. No, you won't see heaps of Mad Hatters on here as I only sketch something once. Right, enough waffling, here's my sketch.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_bWjdSPlLxVA/TBZbKu_wyhI/AAAAAAAAD3I/SgzINF7vzWo/s1600/Day+9+~+~+The+simple+love+of+art2.jpeg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 294px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_bWjdSPlLxVA/TBZbKu_wyhI/AAAAAAAAD3I/SgzINF7vzWo/s400/Day+9+~+~+The+simple+love+of+art2.jpeg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5482669836342446610" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Thanks for looking.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Love, Sarah C xx</div>Sarah Chttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17282199958880205962noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2131317768187238053.post-14135927717690623872010-06-13T05:19:00.000-07:002010-06-13T05:27:11.154-07:00Creativity Boot Camp ~ Day 8<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://creativebootcamp.blogspot.com/2010/06/days-7-8.html">Creativity Boot Camp</a>'s journalling is the same as yesterday's.

We've been encouraged to sit and write for 45 minutes each day. To quote Maegan <i>"If you are familiar with the book The Artist's Way, Julia Cameron refers to this sort of writing as "morning pages" encouraging all creative spirits to write three full tablet pages first thing each morning. Now the premise of these writings is that you just write...no thinking, no analyzing, no judging...just writing. The idea is just to write whatever comes into your mind: from your mind to papet, bypassing your own filters. In essence, it's an emptying."</i> After we've done our writing, we're to throw it away and never look at it again.

We were encouraged to go outside and take some random shots without using special settings on our cameras and then to look at the photos to see what motivated us to take the particular pictures and think about what we'd do different if we took the shots again. Would we frame the subject differently capturing only the part of the item that drew us in? Would we do something else? As I didn't get to do this today, I'm aiming to do it tomorrow. Let's hope I manage it.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I did manage today's random word prompt which was <b>'HEAVY METAL'</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><br /></b></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_bWjdSPlLxVA/TA_Vv41GteI/AAAAAAAAD14/7RAjJJb-8pA/s1600/Day+4+~+~+Heavy+Metal.jpeg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 348px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_bWjdSPlLxVA/TA_Vv41GteI/AAAAAAAAD14/7RAjJJb-8pA/s400/Day+4+~+~+Heavy+Metal.jpeg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480834290218874338" /></a><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Here's part of my cooker.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Thanks for looking</div><div style="text-align: center;">Love and hugs, Sarah C xx</div>Sarah Chttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17282199958880205962noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2131317768187238053.post-75947439798267774582010-06-08T07:16:00.000-07:002010-06-08T07:27:22.830-07:00Creativity Boot Camp ~ Day 3 (Both parts!)<div style="text-align: center;">So far, so good.

So, here's 10 things you may not know about me:</div><div><br /></div><div>1)<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>I'm not very good at completing or continuing projects I start. Be that unpacking boxes from moving, crafty things, healthy eating or exercise. Yep, I start and fail way too many times.</div><div>2)<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>I've not long moved into my own place and am living on my own for the first time in about 20 years.</div><div>3)<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>I have a weakness for nail varnish. If I see a colour I like, I just have to have it.</div><div>4)<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>I'm pretty good at remembering numbers ~ for telephones, internet banking, PINs</div><div>5)<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>I'm not good at remembering names though. If I meet you, don't expect me to remember your name next time, but if you talk to me on the phone, I'll remember so much more about you. I had to be good at this when I worked on taxi switchboards.</div><div>6)<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>I'm good at making 'to do' lists, but once again I'm useless at completing every project.</div><div>7)<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>I may do paper crafting, but I don't very often enjoy making cards now, I much prefer scrapbooking.</div><div>8)<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>I'm even worse for getting cards made and in the post or handed to the recipient on time. Apologies if you're reading this and wondered where your card got to.</div><div>9)<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>I have a scar on the top of my left arm. I pulled a tea-pot full of freshly made tea over me when I was about 2 or 3. Thankfully that's the only scar I got.</div><div>10)<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>I love photography, but still haven't learnt how to use all the different settings on my camera. I'd love a better camera, but as I can't afford one, doing the Creativity Boot Camp using photography will encourage me to get to know my camera and love what I have.</div><div><br /></div><div>Well, there you have 10 facts about me. Hope you managed to stay awake through them. I'm supposed to pass this on to 10 of you, but how on earth do you decide who to leave out? So, as you've spent time to come over to my blog and read my post, please take the award with my thanks.</div><div><br /></div><div>Love and hugs, Sarah C xx</div>Sarah Chttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17282199958880205962noreply@blogger.com0
