More Desert Island Discs

Well ..... after seeing all the others in this CJ I truly wanted to bin mine and start again :(  To me - it looks complete and utter shoite (I  use this word a lot when talking about my stuff lol)  It seems like everyone else has really made an effort - and mine ? well ... let's just say I am less than impressed.  Anyway - no time to change it and it is all packed up and ready to go to Sian but I shall explain a bit and also share my song list.  I have included 9 pieces of watercolour paper (about 8x8) and I would like you to do anything you want on it, it is your blank canvas so to speak.  Do your piece on the song that you choose by interpreting it however you like.  It can be what the song makes you think about or it can be based on the small write up in my little booklet about why I like it.  Like most people, my songs all have special meanings to me and are not necessarily my 'all time favourite top 10'but I do love them.  Also included are 9 pieces of mountboard - once you have done your work, please stick it to a piece of mountboard as the paper is a bit flimsy and tends to curl a lot !! I am hoping to make a huge piece of wall art when it comes home. 

Now that I have done it, I actually HATE my one lol!! It all came about because Tony (my husband) gave me a huge stack of vintage postcards that he bought in Germany in the early 80s and this particular one stood out and seemed to fit the theme of one of my songs ... I also decided to go with a vintage feel for it (something completely new to me!) and the more I look at it -  the more I don't like it so I am glad it is getting sent around the country and maybe in 10 months time, when it comes back and is with everyone else's works ... I may like it a bit more lol

This is the offending article .... followed by my list of songs.  The songs are on the CD in alphabetical order for some reason ... we didn't choose to put them on that way, it just happened  ... also - when you put the CD into your PC, it should also play a video :) (or show the album cover for those that didn't have a video on Youtube!!)
