197 Days of Drabbles - a shameless plug

Remember last year when I spent 4 weeks on secondment with the Judith Wright Centre of Contemporary Arts as part of my degree (jog your memory here & here!)


Well, it is now Sam's turn - creating a project to span the entirety of her final year of university studies.
A creative, innovative & well, theoretical* project to culminate her studies & ulitise her skills - whilst interacting with a wider audience (You can even get invoved! YAY!)

I urge you, pop on over to197 Days of Drabbles, check out her project, plus...this is where you can help out, submit a prompt**- be it a word, sentence or more - to be creativly interpreted & published as a drabble or short story.
In October, Sam will be selecting her favourite written piece to be developed further, & performed as a live theatrical showpiece at the culmination of her third year studies! Amazing, right?! She's a talented one!

So, help a girl out! xx



*yaknow, because univerisity isn't all about getting up to mischief!
**it's easy-peesy - just sign in using your Facebook account, submit a prompt anonymously...& then forget about it!

Paying It Forward - a giveaway, of sorts

So, remember when I said I would quietly accomplish my list of dreams and desires for this year?

Well...it hasn't lasted long.

I was intending to leave this little project on the shelf, for a month or so perhaps...but hey, what's a girl to do all with this time she's been given? - Create, of course!

I have noticed a new trend on the social networks of late - a pay-it-forward of sorts - You may have seen it also? If not, here's the low down:

2013 Creative Pay-It-Forward: The first five people to comment on this status will receive from me, sometime in the next calendar year, a gift - perhaps a book, a gift card, a candle, music, homemade something- a surprise! There will likely be no warning and it will happen whenever the mood strikes me. The catch? Those five people must make the same offer in their FB status. 

I have always enjoyed the notion of the 'pay-it-forward' (most likely spurred on by the watching the movie as a child) and so I am again drawn to the idea of passing on a little joy to, well, you! I want to bless you with a gift - something special, handmade or hand-picked by me, just for you - that will arrive sometime in 2013. But I want to shake it up a bit - I am leaving the number of participants open, for one week.
Whoever comments from today until next Sunday (February 10, 2013) will receive a gift from me.


So here's the low down if you want to be involved:
* Leave a comment below with your email or subscribe to Love love, lady via Google Friend Connect (on the side bar)

* You must continue this P-I-F - post the guidelines on your blog/facebook/twitter/other social media account

* You can choose to pay-it-forward to as many people as you desire - be it 5 people, or like me, as many people that comment below!

I'm really excited to bringing a little happiness to you, when you least expect it - and perhaps share these creations and recipients with you over the coming months!!

Wishing you a swell week,


Sar xx

Sneak-Peak

My creative juices have been flowing (and bubbling) since my trip to Brisbane, resulting in less study, and more photographing/drawing/dreaming/creating. So, it is with great excitement that I am giving you a sneak-peak into my next BIG project.

 
A project that allows me (and you*) to connect with everyday people - artists, baristas, photographers, stay-at-home mamas, students, musicians, teachers, to name just a few.

There'll be some slight changes (so slight, you'll probably not even notice them for a while, meanwhile I'll be tearing my hair out trying to understand html codes!) around here in the coming weeks - so, bear with me while I get the fiddly stuff done.

I hope you'll be as excited as I am right now when the BIG unveiling rolls around on December 1st!! x
