B&W goodness

The idea of this swap was to add B&W Photos to the journal and either write the real story behind them or come up with a make-believe story to go with it. Each person would leave one un-storied photo for the next person to imagine and write about.
The last unwritten photo left by Julie - Some dude near the Arc de Triomphe I believe

Market place in Europe somewhere...

Some mystery Town

This is a photo of my great grandfather on his horse... who turned into Julie's (possibly fictional) ancestor

Some random people at my grandparents farm sometime in the 60's

The Hazelwood electricity station

A Posty Post

Yay it's been a good mail week this week. Some nice surprises! I hope you have all had a good one.
It's been mega hot also, I can feel summer coming to punch me in the face very soon! I really have no idea why I was longing for the heat for so long... clearly Europe made me think that we have mild nice bearable summers here is Aus - I was LYING TO MYSELF!

Parcel from Julie returning my B&W Photo Journal. It was her swap, but most people went a bit AWOL, so she sent it back to me so it wouldn't get lost... I'll post up the wicked cool photos it contains next.

FAIL! and some post

Ok so I failed at my mission. It has been about 3 weeks since I added to my creative journal. sadface. Uni essays and then being away from it for too long contributed, but I think the main factor was my laziness.
But anyway, now I am working, uni is over (my first of 5 semesters YAY), and it's been way too long since I did a mail post. Lots has been arriving, and I forgot (a lot) to photo everything I sent out, but there are a few things. My Postcrossing lag has caught up with me, so I sent out a bunch of cards today.
Ch-ch-check it!

Letter Writers Alliance first letter from Tanya in Florida

Postcrossing from Saskia in the Netherlands

Letter Writers Alliance Letter from Layne in Portland which contained a wicked little map! (I put it in my journal for Uni because it was of all the places he had lived, similar kind of personal maps that Guy Debord did with the situationalistis in Paris in the olden days)

Postcrossing from China, my partner sent me a picture of Tibet, she said it was the most peaceful place in the world. I don't know about that (from a political point of view) but I suppose it's just a matter of perspective.

Postcrossing from Tome in Japan.

Just today I received a lovely comment on my blog about my creative project journal from a lovely lady and I have been resolved to ressurect it! so thank you Felicity Lingle I suppose this blogging stuff really does keep you honest about things hey!

Thank you notes to my Mix-Share swap Partners

These were the first lot of my 130 Pomegranate postcards to go out to some cool kids that only live a few minutes away from me so I often forget to dose them up with a bit of postal goodness.
