Good morning, let’s start the new week with the results of the raffle for the two RAPS minis from the Thornton’s Pearls series. First of all, thank you for all your lovely comments. I went through them all again for the purpose of compiling the list of names to input into Randompicker. I was delighted…
Looks as if today is Creative Day in the Fandom: This morning I saw a post by Rachel about her beautiful RAPS-inspired wooden box of wonders that she created as a present for fellow fan Laura. And I just commented on Kate’s post – which is fittingly entitled “An Embarrassment of Rich(i)es” – where she…
Did you see Ani’s latest unbearably cute cartoon? Couldn’t get this out of my head. I often imagined how Richard and his Mum sat together reading, answering, signing Fan mail 😌(The text is supposed to be funny🙈) #RichardArmitage pic.twitter.com/gpkpt4GErh — Ani 🏳️🌈🐒 (@AniNomori) May 19, 2020 You really have to look at all the details…
I’m not having much luck with the titles for my RAPS post. I just noticed a major slip on the Percy shrine post from two weeks ago. 2018 shrines? Jeepers Creepers. I mean, ok, 200+ mini shrines about that *one* bloke may already look bonkers. But 2,018 would be obsessive! Corrected. *Um* I have just…
A new week in this whole extraordinary time in our lives. How are you keeping? I’ve learnt another thing last week, in that my happiness and mental equilibrium during the crisis does not only depend on the state of my pantry (i.e. that it is well-stocked), but also on my creative output. I have observed…
LOL – as I was checking for the current number of shrines by looking at the previous shrine post, I had a good laugh. A typo sneaked in – which apparently no one noticed. Instead of the number “216”, I wrote 2016. Whoa, that would be an impressive number… (Have corrected the mistake in the…
I wrote the blog title and spontaneously abandoned the computer because I *had to* go and get myself a small packet of crisps. Craving for something salty – after *that* title. The reason it is on the blog today, is this: I hear you saying – why didn’t you hide the nasty advertising as you…
Just a quickie for today, folks. After a junk journal phase, today the shrining bug bit again. Not least because I want something else to post than Fan Challenge questions or Covid updates. So much more uplifting to have something pretty to look at. Wanna see something not-pretty? Two down. I want to make more,…
My slightly overhasty mail love project from last week has already shown some success. Two out of three letters have arrived at their destination in Italy. So much for my “lovely” post mistress telling me that no post is getting through to Italy. However, I still take the point that maybe other shipments by mail…
Let’s start the week with a bit of fun. I have stepped back from the computer a bit. It just brings me down to be online too much. Fiddling with paper and scissors, on the other hand, makes me happy. Also, temperatures have suddenly gone down again in Ireland, and typing at the computer gives…
