For AnnMarie

Ever have something you mean to do, yet you never seem to have the time to do it? You know, one of those things that's in the back of your mind, but kinda just stays there, perpetually on your "to do" list? Well, this was one of those things. But I did it! :)

Today, after I got off of work, I finally visited the Barntique Village, a place just up the road from my home where they sell all things, you guessed it, vintage! I only wish I'd had more time to peruse at my leisure... it really was a lot of fun, being that I'm not an aficionado of vintage items. I really went because I'd been meaning to get over there and grab some pics for my friend, AnnMarie.

This whole little village is comprised of about 20 shops selling various antique items, everything from pottery, collectible statues, bedding, clothes, toys, even James Taylor albums! (OK, so James Taylor is NOT technically "vintage", but I was thrilled to see it, lol). Here are the pictures I was able to grab, being that they were closing up... I mean to definitely go back!

I hope you had fun taking the pictures, as I had a blast seeing everyone's take on the words :) Here are the wonderful results!!!

So, which ones do YOU like the best? It took so long for me to go through the emails, divide up the pictures into their respective desktop folders, then upload them into the html code where I write my blogs... altogether, took me an hour and a half. LOL! No wonder I don't write on my blog all the time...

Creative Interpretation- What Does YOUR Voice Say?

Here is something easy, creative, and fun that I'd love for you all to jump in on. I'm going to post below a short list of several words that are open to YOUR interpretation through pictures... camera phone, actual camera, doesn't matter!

For example, if one of the words is "AWAKE", you could interpret that with a picture of whatever you think of... an alarm clock, a sunrise, a cup of coffee... the sky is virtually the limit! This exercise is creatively invigorating and mentally stimulating. I kept the list of words short to not burden you all with too many choices... you can pick one word, or do each one. Either way, all you have to do is take the picture and send it to my email jenniferbaysoaps@yahoo.com and I'll post them all here in 2 weeks. Comment below or email me if you've any questions :)

Sound exciting? I think so :) It's great to see what people come up with! Let's get started!
