Fame at last

My Jack Russell has found fame at last. Star of the show when Gray and JoJo busked in fancy dress for Comic Relief's red nose day on Friday, he was photographed for the local paper, featured on this great photoblog, and they raised £140. It was a good afternoon. Hope it won't go to his head.

One World, One Heart Giveaway

I used a random number picker and 111 & 124 came up. After a lot of counting I can announce the winners are:
Cards - Kelly
CD - Chris
Many thanks to everyone who visited my blog & entered. I still have not visited everyone on the list but I will.

I'm rubbish at technical things - I wanted to close my comments but cannot work out how to do it! However this competition is now closed as of 12/02/2009 & I will be drawing the winners later today. - Have worked this out now thanks to OWOH site and Lisa's expertise!


One World One Heart is where bloggers all over the world are participating in giveaways. It's the third year for this and such a great idea. To win one of mine you need to leave a comment on this post only, before midnight on 11th February 2009 and make sure there is a link back to you. I will then draw 2 names on February 12th and announce the winners.

My giveaways are:

A set of 4 of my element illustration cards

and a cd of 5 live tracks by the Heart Shaped Buttons - cover artwork by me, photography by Damien Cox. You can hear some of their tracks here.

Winter sun

Beautiful sunshine on a late afternoon walk to the harbour.

Went to Brighton last night to see Randy Crawford, she has the most beautiful voice I think I've ever heard (apart from JoJo that is!). We took my Mum and Dad, as we first listened to Randy while on holiday with them in the South of France many years ago - the evening brought back lovely memories. This second blog of the day is for my Dad as he was complaining that I hadn't done one for December yet and I've missed Illustration Friday this week too!!

At his best too

Gray played live the other Friday, he's been working with jojo only a few weeks and this was their first performance playing songs he's written.

Bellissimo

Dreams are done and the daylight comes
You know the morning’s here
As we rise and open eyes
I feel that you are near

If this is all about devotion
Then it’s all about you and then me
If love is deeper than the ocean
Then it’s wild and wide and wonderful
As waves that roll across the sea

Bellissimo I told you so
And know you just can’t let me go
Bellissimo is how it is
When there is nothing left to miss
When everything is in your kiss
The day is great when it starts
When it starts like this

Dreams are done and daylight come
And show me what you bring
may not be so very much
but to me it's everything
