keep commenting!

remember, for a chance to win this piece of work, called 'lower case' you've got until midnight tonight...
thanks so much for all the comments so far, there have been some really poignant ones, funny ones and happy ones. oh and a couple who couldn't remember the last time they cried. weird. i have entered a new low in tearfulness... (is that a word?) during an advert for sma baby milk...the one where the voice-over guy (who sounds suspiciously like ralf little from 'the royle family') says 'i promise not to tell you that sometimes, when i kiss your beautiful neck, it smells of perfume and baby sick.' it wasn't that particular bit that made me tearful, (because that would be crazy, right?) but the bit at the end when there's a big pair of bloke's boots next to a tiny pair of pink ones. gets me every time. how pathetic is that?
hahahahaha...i just googled 'sma advert' and the first one to come up is this rant at how terrible that ad is! it's official, i have bad taste in adverts.

first birthday...

yesterday was my first blog birthday! who knew i'd be able to do this for an entire year? amazing. in honour of this exciting occasion (yeah, i'm being tongue in cheek there, i don't take myself that seriously ;) i'm giving away a new paper collage, pictured above, called 'lower case'. rather apt, i thought, as i never tend to use caps! anyway, in order to win this piece (6 x 6 inches, mounted on a board just over 7 x 7 inches) all you need to do is leave your name in the comments section, along with the last time you ever cried and why. don't worry, you don't need to get too personal if you don't want to! i'm not ashamed to say i cried yesterday watching a fairly lame sunday afternoon movie about old people in a retirement home, so you can't really be any more pathetic than that. good luck, and many thanks to my hard core group of readers...you know who you are and you rock!

oh, you've got until friday 20th at midnight (gmt) to comment, i'll announce the winner here on saturday morning.
