amberdreamsReasons to be cheerful one two three – Day 3
Missed a couple of days, not because there was nothing positive about them, but just because I forgot. Now I’m too lazy to recap so this is all about today!
1. Spent the day in London at a workshop about a fascinating project that may never happen because it's almost too fascinating. There's a bloke called Steve Ward who had this idea about building a modern pyramid on a monumental scale. He wants this pyramid to be an international collaboration, and to contain the hopes and dreams of children from all around the world. Children will record their wishes for the future and then seal them into this huge structure for a thousand years. So romantic a notion, and he has the backing of Archbishop Desmond Tutu, which is pretty inspiring in itself. There is a downside, but as this is a positive meme, I won’t go into that here! This is their website if you are curious about it.
2. I submitted my SDMB draft yesterday, so now I’m sitting around getting excited for all the summaries to be posted tomorrow. I can’t wait to see what’s going on and get my shortlist for the art claims on Friday! Woo!
3. My SwedArt leather and silver wire bracelet arrived today. It’s so pretty…even though I’m hiding it from the hubster so he won’t whinge about me spending money on frivolities again. Sigh.

Oh and this is the website for the pyramid if you are interested http://www.earthpyramid.org/
