I never knew the charm of spring
I never met it face to face
I never new my heart could sing
I never missed a warm embrace
Till April in Paris, chestnuts in blossom
Holiday tables under the trees
April in Paris, this is a feeling
That no one can ever reprise
-April in Paris - Frank Sinatra

Getting excited..
Remember the feeling you get receiving a letter or postcard, unexpected, from a far away country? I came across ´Postcrossing´, and can´t help getting in a cheery mood- like I´m eight years of age once again, checking the mailbox for a letter from a penfriend that lives in Indonesia.
What´s the idea?
The goal of the project is to allow people to receive postcards from all over the world, for free. Well, almost free! The main idea is that: if you send a postcard, you'll receive at least one back, from a random Postcrosser from somewhere in the world.
Why? Because there are lots of people who like to receive real mail. The element of surprise of receiving postcards from different places in the world (many of which you'd probably never have heard of) can turn your mailbox into a box of surprises - and who wouldn't like that?
How does it work?
- Request an address from the website
- mail the postcard to the address
- Wait to receive a postcard
- Register the received postcard in the system
You can have up to 5 postcards traveling at any single time. Every time one of the postcards you sent is registered, you can request another address.
Can´t wait to get going? Check it out for yourself now!

Sunday´s project
The clock´s ticking, the moment to get crafty has arrived..!
Today´s pick? Making a pinhole camera, using a Matchbox.
(As found over at Alspix)
What do you need?
- A matchbox
- An empty roll of 35mm film
- Some new 35mm film
- Some black tape
- A bit of foil
Let's get the crafty bugs out of the bed..!
First, mark out a 24mm square exactly in the centre of the matchbox tray, cut this out with a sharp knife as neatly as possible. Or make it messy if you like, it's up to you. This provides the image frame, any rough edges or card fibres will appear on the image obviously.
Now get a black pen and color the tray black. Also stick a pen inside the front of the sleeve and colour that black too.
Cut a small hole, about 6mm square, in the centre of the sleeve. Try to do this as neatly as possible to avoid fluffy fibres appearing in the image
Now for the pinhole. The very short focal length means that the optimum pinhole size is small, less than 0.2mm. Make a pinhole in a bit of foil/drinks can using you favourite method (wont go into it here, search the web), and stick it over the hole in the sleeve.
To work out how far to wind the film, Alspix has made small "clickers" from bits of plastic (The stuff used to bind documents). Cut a very thin strip and make a point at one end.
Now take the full roll of film. Stick the curved plastic to the back of the canister so that the pointed end pokes through a sproket hole by about 3mm. As the film is pulled out of the cansiter, the plastic will jump between holes and make a clicking sound.
-------------------------------------
The clicker
- The key is to ensure the clicker plastic only goes through the sprocket hole by a small amount, and it seems to work best with the clicker very close to where the film comes out of the canister.
- First tip: Carefully wind back most of the film leader into the canister (don't go too far!!!) - this gives you extra film to test the operation of the clicker.
Note that the plastic ( Alspix uses a small bit of very curved plastic cut from a document binder) only protudes through the sprocket hole very slightly
Before reloading, gently pull the film out a couple of sprocket holes. The clicker should ride on the back of the film smoothly and make a click as it drops into the sprocket holes. It does? Good! It doesn't? Remove the tape, wind the film back into the canister again try repositioning the clicker slightly.
Snip the leader off as square as you can. Now splice the film with tape. Make sure everything is square....
...both sides. Trim off all excess tape carefully
Wind some film through to tighten the canister against the box, hold it there and wind a couple more clicks to make sure the clicker is still working.
Now tape it. Tape it good. Oui, Tape it reaaal good.
- Note the end of the clicker plastic is left visible. When the film is finished, grab this with some pliers and pull the clicker right out. Now you can safely wind the film back to the original canister.
-------------------------------------
Now thread the film through the box sleeve. Then, push the inner tray in so that the base of the tray with the hole in in presses against the film, pushing it flat and proving the square frame.
You also need an empty spool to take up the film. Ideally, this will still have a bit of film sticking out, otherwise you have to carefully open the canister with a bottle opener, fix the new film end to the spool and re-assemble. Alspix has done this, but it's much easier to use a spool with some film sticking out. Splice the film together with clear tape. Then, wind the film into the take up canister, so that both canisters fit snugly against the matchbox. Make sure no film is visible at the back - you will use tape to seal this joint, so you don't want to be sticking tape onto the film!
- NOTE - make sure you dont wind the film back into the full spool at any point, the "clicker" plastic may rip the film.
All that remains is to make the thing light-tight. Wrap tape around the joints between both canisters and the box. Make sure all sides are well covered. The tape does a suprisingly good job at keeping the whole thing together and stable!
Place a small piece of foam on the underside of the takeup canister then wrap tape over it. This gives some tension and stops the film unwinding withing the canister each time you wind on.
Now make a simple shutter, a bit of tape will work, but Alspix prefers a sliding card shutter. The camera's now ready to take pictures! Find something suitable to wedge into the top of the empty spool to act as a handle to wind the film on, and count 6 clicks for each frame.
- Check out www.mrpinhole.com to calculate the optimum pinhole size, and work out exposure times for the film you use.
Alspix's worked out at around f90, which gives fairly short exposure times with ISO100 film, a second or two in daylight.
- Make sure you don't wind the film back into the canister with the plastic "clicker" attached - it will rip the film.

Good luck, hope you enjoyed this : )

Close to heart
Coming across some lovely stuff while cruising along at Etsy..
I've always loved Emily's poetry, ain't it darn cute?
The plates were inspired by the idea of the Ancient Romans: birds were the messengers of the Gods, Paloma;s Nest has put her own spin to this tradition- giving these birds the responsibility of carrying these meaningful poems on their backs.
Nouveau Motley truly understands the art of creating great buttons. Inspirational thoughts combined with nice black and white pictures.
I think I've just fallen in love. Go check out this- and other- sweetness over at The small cat club
On the author: Daniela Olszewska holds a BA in Poetry from Columbia College Chicago. Her poetry-related activities include serving on the Editorial Board of Columbia Poetry Review and acting as Editorial Assistant/Intern Coordinator for Switchback Books. Sold over at: Wicked Pen
Including:
Introducing: Jane Doe
I was born in a concrete patch.
I was born with a complex system
of bicycle parts breathing me in
and then out and then in again.
I am the thing with the shiny yellow
saxophone voice. I am the girl
who cubed pomegranate juice;
the girl with a J-shaped pseudonym.
I drink from a zodiac-lidded jug.
My pockets full of special bugs,
my female-shaped hand bones
clutching a note written in red-
orange crayon: Do you like me?
Circle: YES NO

Sitting behind my daily feed,
I´ve fallen over an article.. I simply can´t get my mind to it.
Be sure to get your eye on the following links and tell me what pops to mind;
Playing around?
Freakshow
Who-ever wants to read more, here´s a quoted text about a woman pushing her daughter into a beauty contest, as heard/seen in a show by Dr.Phil:
´My daughter is a beauty queen," says Bonnie, of 8-year-old Madison. Her child has won 40 crowns and 50 trophies competing in high-glitz beauty pageants. "The first pageant Madison ever entered was at 4, and she won. We were hooked." Now, Madison competes in a dozen pageants a year, and this is causing a rift between Bonnie and her sister, Kari. "We get so much hostility from my sister," Bonnie says.
"My sister is exploiting my niece. Madison is totally being over-sexualized," says Kari. "The enhanced photos of Madison make me sick, because I don't understand why you have to put on the fake hair, and the fake lips, and the fake tan. She's Caucasian. I mean, she looks like she's a Samoan." She also disagrees with Madison wearing fake teeth.
Madison's grandmother agrees with Kari. "This is not my granddaughter. This is a creepy rendition of what an adult would be if you shrunk them into an 8-year-old suit," she says. "She is scary looking, somebody who I would prefer not to have in the family."
Bonnie has an explanation for Madison's appearance. "You do the fake tan to compliment your child," she explains. As for the fake teeth, she admits, "We do use a prosthetic piece that helps her look really pretty." Bonnie wants to give Madison every opportunity to excel.
(Her aunt says)
"I have seen Madison cry before she has to go onstage. I have seen firsthand Bonnie telling Madison, 'Stop the theatrics. Stop crying. Suck it up. Get up there and it'll be over and done with.'"
"Madison's job is to be on for two minutes. You are spending a lot of time and money for two minutes. I don't think that is asking too much," Bonnie says, defending her actions. "Madison is out there accomplishing these great things and not getting any pats on the back from my family. They do act like I'm doing a disservice to my daughter."
"You said, these are your words, 'I am addicted to these pageants,'" Dr. Phil says to Bonnie. She denies saying it in that context, so Dr. Phil reads directly from her letter. "You said, 'Madison was 4 years old when we entered a pageant. I, not Madison, I was hooked. I knew that I wanted to do glitz pageants. I like the dresses, hair and makeup. I wanted to know how they got that flawless look. I was in awe. I did a few pageants on my own even without a coach. For me, it was a rush to come up with the most unique, creative ideas for costumes. I started doing a lot of the coaching. On the day of the pageant, I get a rush. I can't sleep. When it's over, I have a pageant hangover. I feel like I can't get off the couch. When it comes down to me, I end up doing it all,'" he reads, noting that Bonnie said the word 'I' 15 times. "I didn't see anything in there about Madison. That's all about you. True or false?"
"I would say that's false," Bonnie replies, as the the audience groans.
"You won't let her ride a bike or a skateboard two weeks before a pageant in case she might scrape her knee. She can't wear tight clothing in bed the night before because it might leave a crease," Dr. Phil points out. "I mean, come on."
"When you're spending money on pageant fees, you definitely want to take out the element of running the risk of her really injuring herself," Bonnie replies. "You can't put Swarovski stones on a cast." She laughs again.
"This is letting a kid be a kid?" Kari asks.
Bonnie assures Dr. Phil that Madison gets down time to just be a kid. "It's not like I'm putting her on a shelf and saying, 'Don't do this.'"
"Actually, you are," Dr. Phil points out. "For like two weeks she can't do any of those things that might scrape her because you got to drape her in Swarovski crystals. Right?"
"Everything looks better in Swarovski crystals," Bonnie says, smiling.´
Really, what kind of world do we live in? What is important to us nowadays?
Striking fear, trying to control our bodies and neglecting our true wishes...
When will we learn to accept ourself, respect eachother and do what we were meant to do: celebrate life, ´cause we´re not death!
A little quotation..
"The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honours the servant and has forgotten the gift".

Ode to the granny
I like to walk with Grandma,
Her steps are short like mine.
She never says, “Now hurry up!”
She always takes her time.
I like to walk with Grandma.
Her eyes see things like mine do.
Wee pebbles bright, a funny cloud,
Half hidden drop of dew.
Most people have to hurry
They do not stop to see.
I’m so glad I´ve got my Grandma
Unrushed and young like me.
(Also, they just look adorably cute)
Here´s an ode to granny´s all across the Universe

Participating by observing
Even worse than writing a nerve-wrecking first post...
is looking around in your little ´petit-déjeuner-de-moi´
and searching for something that pokes the eye.
Sitting behind tomorrow´s newspaper,
I´ve been observing all the fresh- and smelly -visitors that have stopped by so far.
Since you guys are my way to generate an income,
I´ll have to find a way to amuse you.
(Leading towards some more tipping, giving me the opportunity to buy a good ol´ typewriter.)
We´ll organise some karaoke soon, ´till that moment; Take a plunge into my mind.
(Don´t be afraid, I´ll lock the dark chambers.)
I´ll kick off with some wisdomosity about being an observer,
compared to being a participant.
There are usually two ways to live your life, being:
As an observer or as a participant.
The observer will only observe and not participate.
A participant will only participate and not observe.
The observer will learn through observation.
A participant will learn through mistake.
An observer will observe all the possibilities, thus the observer will have great intelligence.
The participant will participate all his or her decisions, thus a participant will have great wisdom.
An observer occupies his or her time by observing,
aware of every possible paths, but won't get anywhere because observer don't participate.
A participant occupies his or her time by participating, unaware of other possible paths,
but won't get anywhere because participant don't observe.
When you choose to become an observer,
you will only observe the success and failure of other participant.
When you choose to become a participant,
you will feel the happiness and sadness of success and failure yourself.
So which one do (or did) you choose to be?
Do you live your life being an observer? Or as a participant?

Open the blinds...
A first post, as well as a first visit, is a moment of truth
(And dare. Thanks for showing your guts, by showing up on this site-warming event. )
It´s a mirror to reflect yourself.
(Or at least the parts you´d wish to show. )
It is a ´once in a lifetime´ catching moment, that will make you ´it´ or a ´lost little bit´(a.k.a. twit), worthless to ever return to again.
(Who said anything about high standards? )
Having said all that, scaring the ants straight into your pants,
let´s get back to business;
Here I am. C´est moi, oui, it is I. Qui?
The passive observer;
A girl that sees, but has got nothing special to add.
(For all has been done and said before.)
This is my spot, my daily platform.
An archive, locker filled with my views, desires, wishes and dreams.
Or just call it a way to be seen.
(Don´t tell me we don´t all need a little piece of that!)
I´m no ´We-all-come-from-the-same-grain-stick-it-up-your-....´
singer-songwriter type of girl.
Instead, I am a
´I´d wish I was a ´wannabe novelist´, hiding behind a scribbly notepad, trying to perform with or without her mask´ kind-of-person.
(Note to self: Don´t even think people have got the slighest idea what the toot you´re chitty-chatting about.)
Anyhow. I´m véry pleased, even thrilllled, to finally meet you.
I could not be more proud of my own petit hostel, it´s finally open!
Feel more than welcome to stop by at any moment,
make yourself comfy and get chatta-licious.
(Don´t forget to tip generously.- meaning leaving a comment.)
