I need some colour!

Dear this weekend,
Please be sunny
I need to soak up some light
and take photos of pretty colours,
Thanks, I can't wait for you to begin,
love Rhianne

p.s. these are some photos from Scarborough from my Exacta 135 (I was finishing the roll) 
and from my LC-A before it died... sad times.

Friday's little letters,

{random sign post at Caernarfon Castle}

I love a spontaneous post!

Dear Leeds,
Please let me find a nice 2 bed house with a garden, close to where we live now, with 2 storeys and good storage. I know its alot to ask, but hopefully by putting it out there something will come along...

Dear weekend,
You got here sooner than I expected and honestly this week wasn't as bad as I thought it would be but I'm still super excited to see you - you should be so much fun!

Dear Nicole,
If I could get over there and hug you I would - perhaps we need to invent some kind of teleporter??

Dear blogroll,
You take up more time than anything else on my blog does but boy are you going to look pretty! I could look at you all day!

Dear future wedding,
I can't seem to help planning you out in my head at the moment with all my friends and family getting married... When we're ready for you, you are going to be amazing!!
(We're just not ready for you yet... or even for a while... sorry!)

Dear lil sis,
I am however totally ready for your wedding! Bring it on!

Dear Toy Story 3,
Why are you not out here yet?!?!?! I'm dying over here...

Dear Inception,
I am expecting amazing things

Not just because of Leo and Joseph, though that does help

though be warned The Matrix is my favourite film :)

Dear Fridays links,
You are my favourite and I don't want to forget about you so I'm putting you right here!

1. Holga love

2. Diana love

3. Book love

4. Chocolate love

5. Coaster love

Dear next week on my blog,

I am e.x.c.i.t.e.d. You may be my most fun/best blog week ever.

(it has to happen now I've said that right?)

Dear For the easily distracted... readers,

I hope your weekends are as amazing as you are!

Little letters...

{Photo taken in Scarborough with my Yashica Autofocus, I heart that camera}

Dear little blog,

Its odd to think that when we started we were both completely different. It's just a shame I'm stuck in the same job and it frustrates me. But you are still my haven and even though I'm feeling a little lost, I am going to pull it together and you will be my happy place again.

Dear Sunshine,

You make me happy but where is the warmth?

I want to wear my shorts (yes, I have shorts!!) and finally wear my yellow tights.

Dear poloroid camera,
After all the letters and the waiting - I'm afraid that we don't really get on as well as I had hoped... part of me is a little sad but the other is really happy that I seem to have found my medium in 35mm film and that I can enjoy looking at other peoples polaroids appreciating how incredible their work really is!

Dear fuji instax,
Don't worry I still adore you... we get along just fine.

Dear buses,

You seem to be running on time recently, I can't decide whether to be happy or suspicious.

Dear cookies,

It seems out of all the sugary foods that I miss you the most.

I'm worried now though that the next one I have won't live up to my expectations....

Dear negativity,

You creep up on me when I least expect it and you are starting to annoy me.

Dear self imposed blog rules,

I might start ignoring some of you soon, just to see what happens!

Dear moleskines,

All of a sudden I want to write and draw in you...

I just need to buy one first.

Do they come in yellow?!

Little letters...

Cute Mimi the Pug heart card by Cuore

Dear Sugar,
It's been over two weeks now without you (or processed foods) in our diet now and I'll be honest, I do miss brownies and cookies... however I love feeling healthy, sleeping better, eating more fruit and vegetables and the fact that the bags under my eyes are not as dark anymore.

(woo, I still can't believe that benefit)

Dear mixed seeds,

You are my new favourite snack... yum.

Dear polaroid camera,

I'm still engaged in the poloroid film debate in my head but I promise I'll let you know the outcome when I know.

Dear followers....

Hi!! Yeay that you're here, you are awesome!

Dear AutoCAD,

Stop crashing.

(please...)

Dear Seychelles Footwear,

Please deliver to England...

(without costing me a fortune)

Dear Spring,

Hurry up, I want to go out and take photos in the sunshine!

Dear future pug,

I'm working on convincing Boyfriend that you are seriously cute and we should get you

(he's working on us buying a kitten still... he'll probably win...)

Dear future,

Once again, I am very excited about what you may hold...

I can't wait for the rest of this year!

I dream of French Fancies....

{Felt French Fancies Set by British Cream Tea}

Dear subconscious, thanks for having me dream about eating French Fancies the first day that I try and eat healthily - it's nice to know you've got my back... :/

Dearest blogging world...

You are amazing!

But sometimes I bite off more than I can chew.

Before Christmas I was completely overwhelmed with blogging - the constant 800+ in my reader despite how much I read, the huge number of comments that I hadn't replied too, the followers blogs that I hadn't looked at or commented on...

...and although I was energised and ready to sort this head on once I got back - being sick has once again left me totally overwhelmed and I honestly feel so stressed.

I want to reply to everyones comments, I want to look at all my followers blogs but these things take time and time is something that I seem to have less and less of.

So... I'm clearing out my reader, the blogs I follow and my head - too many blogs that I don't really read properly are taking away my time from the ones I love and taking time away from enjoying my own blog (and the photoswap, I haven't forgotten about it...) which really is why I'm here.

Being a good blogger is incredibly hard work and I want to be a great blogger - not a good blog skimmer and I want to enjoy blogging again. So bear with me for a while whilst I clear out all the cobwebs and hopefully my blog, my shop (which I have woefully abandoned for a while) and I will be ready to face 2010 properly!

Thank you again for being so patient with me, I am still amazed by all the lovely comments I get and amazing followers that I have :)

love Rhianne

Little letters to the future...

Autumn letters...

( So I've been trying to resist doing a little letters post but I think now is the time!)

Dear yellow leaves,

You are my favourite, I'll try not to take too many photos of you but I can't promise anything.

Dear polaroid cameras,

I think I'm am going to have to buy one of you soon, I'm not sure how much longer I can wait.

Dear little kitten down the road,

I'm so sorry the children you live with are mean - we both wish we could look after you.

Dear Glee,

Where was Emma this week? I still love you though don't worry...

Dear Wordpress and Etsy,

I will figure you out and we will be friends.

Dear weekend,

I am so glad you are finally here, this week has been looong...
