1. Ever since I saw a tutorial for Julian Opie-style pictures on Family Portrait Artists I have wanted to make one. And now I have, and I like it. I used a picture that PaulV took as the basis and played with Photoshop until I got it right.2. A distracted mother unloading a carful of children while trying to put her daughter's school straw hat on her son's head.
3. I was very apprehensive about joining a new yoga class -- it's hard to twist yourself into odd positions in front of a crowd of strangers, and I really wanted to like this class because it's nearby and at a time I can manage. The group was so smiley and the teacher was so friendly that I felt at home.
4. I get an extra beautiful thing today because it's the second anniversary of this blog. I'm glad I've kept it going -- I know I'm happier for working on it, and I hope you are all happier for reading it. The extra bonus beautiful thing (and this is going to sound really sucky) is my readers. Thanks specially to those of you who join in. I love your comments and your beautiful things. And thanks also to those who keep quiet -- don't think I know you're there! That's what hit counters and stats are for.
And thank you Clare, for two years of educating us mere humans as to where we're going wrong in our lives.

Happy birthday 3BT!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWell done, Clare, for reaching such a milestone. It is a great achievement and one I hope you are rightly proud of.
My Beautiful Thing for today is:
Having 3BT to read - I look forward to it every day.

Happy Birthday 3BT! Thanks for making us notice all the BTs we stumble across. Well done Clare!
ReplyDeleteMine for today:
In the gutter, the wind has piled up great drifts of white and pink horse chestnut blossom.
Happy Birthday 3BT. Keep going because my beautiful thing is reading 3BT when I have my lunchtime sandwich. That's another beautiful thing, especially when there's also a cake from Konditor and Cook. That's only 2 but 3 would be pretentious.
ReplyDeleteHappy Blog Birthday.
ReplyDeleteMy beautiful thing would have to be just sharing your blog and every other online journal and blog and feeling just that much more connected to the people in the world and that we are much more a beautiful connected set of beings than we will ever realize.
Did you have a cake, I'd have made one, but can you send it electronically?
ReplyDeleteI look a bit sporadically, & do a week or so at a time, but love it!
HAPPY third,claire! Thanks for reminding us that sometimes the simplest joys are the best!
