I got a girl and I call her Sunshine
Through the air she’s dancing in the light

I say hey Sunshine
Won’t be you be with me now and for all time

O so free cause she loves me Sunshine
Catch her laughing down by the water line

I say hey Sunshine
Won’t you be with me now and for all time
-Peter Salett

little wonderment for a friend

well, not only have I been greatly inspired by EVERYTHING that surrounds me lately (books, love, driving, music, images, coffee etc etc) but I have also decided that I am going to delve into the more 'crafty' side to art and start making one of a kind scrapbooks of my art/photography/poetry all hand made with products I will either make myself or purchase from etsy.com
(which is the handmade store of the world wide web - CHECK IT OUT if you havent already)

I have already got hold of these wonderful little sets to get me started :D

I think the first one I make will be for a dear artist friend of mine - Miss Nora

She knows how much I cherish her vision, her thoughts, the way she writes and the way she sees things differently. Hopefully it will not take me very long :) I think a personal touch like this is always much more wonderful than just an email. I got the idea from my boyfriend who loves to write letters and I think that is truly remarkable that people still put that effort into communication, especially when technology can do it all for you.
I have never posted anything to Germany before so hopefully it will make it all the way there without getting lost.

Wish me luck
