I think I'd better explain myself


I love everything about the project, walking round noticing things, drawing, posting to people I do and don't know, reading your wonderful comments and the fact that my Mum looks each day to see what I've been up to. But another side to the project is that I work full time in London and like most people I can often feel pretty busy. I draw the postcards each day, often quite quickly and sometimes the next day, trying to remember the previous day. I only sit down every couple of weeks to write all the addresses & messages on the back and even less often do I take the trip to the post office on a Saturday morning to buy stamps for all the different countries. Why am i telling you this? Because I feel that if you are going to be nice enough to take a look at my drawings each day then I should explain why days might go by without any drawings on this blog or why your postcard hasn't arrived in the post yet! I'm leaving work early today to go to the post office and I'll be posting all the drawings from the 4th and 8th to 26th February. Thank you for understanding and I hope that when the postcards arrive they are worth the wait. Let me know what you see this weekend. Start your comment with TODAY I SAW........

  3. Thank you for my postcard - it was worth the wait! It always amazes me how motivated you must be - it might only be a quick drawing, but to do it everyday (or couple of days) is still a big commitment - hats off to you!
