This weekend I have had loads of art things going on. I am still doing my sketchbook.

I am making halloween things for the Halloween party at A Fanciful Twist. I am making a clown doll. I retrieved what I think is a very interesting and strange step ladder out of a skip up the road-which needs work. I have rearranged my shelves yet again and have been reading some very interesting arty books. I have no pictures of any of this. I also finally managed to download Poladroid-I realise it was my lack of know how that made it impossible before, but then somehow worked it out. I love it and the magical effect it has on my photos. I have got some of those to show you!

Also I realised that I have been blogging for a year today I think. 231 posts. I have loved blogging for this year and am so happy to have met so many wonderful people through doing so. I would like to have a give away to mark the anniversary. I have a number of things to include and am going to make a written list here-as again, I do not have photos. I will do a photo post of the things later in the week.

A COPY OF "THE SECRET GARDEN" from Barter Books on my holiday.

A SET OF ROYAL MAIL PICTURE STAMPS DEPICTING POSTBOXES FROM DIFFERENT ROYAL REIGNS.

A TINY HANDMADE BOOK FROM MY HOLIDAY IN SCOTLAND LAST YEAR-IT IS REALLY TINY-LESS THAN AN INCH LONG AND THE COVER IS RED MARBLED PAPER.

ONE OF MY BIRDS-WITH OR WITHOUT A FACE-THE CHOICE IS YOURS IF YOU WIN!

A COPY OF ONE OF MY POLADROIDS-ANYONE WHO LEAVES A COMMENT CAN HAVE ONE OF THESE IF THEY WOULD LIKE.

Not sure why I did the capitals-but I started and so carried on.

I will do a draw for each item separately so there will be four people pulled out of the hat.

I will do a proper post on this later. If you are interested then please leave a comment here or on the other post and I will enter your name in the hat!
