Here we go for the first round of May.

My kingdom for a something or other:

Evie with 3 things that I, and I suspect Evie, cannot live without - Coke, the Mighty Richmond Tigers (reigning Premiers, saying that just does not get old) and my signed copy of The Lies of Locke Lamora.

School:

When I was at school, a pencil case was something that every kid had to have, here Maeve investigates the contents of her pencil case.

Things that start with the letter of your name/nick:

Everyone's photos are all so fun!

davidd, the school picture is great, a bit concerning about what is being studied.


Here's my first set of pics:

1/ My Kingdom for... a pair of shorts (or jeans!) that fit around the waist.

Nyxie demonstrates how annoying it is to have shorts/jeans that don't fit around the waist when one can't try on new clothes to find the correct size (I'm currently wearing belts with my pants, and they're still too large).

2/ Polkadots

We have both casual AND formal polka-dot outfits in our wardrobe.

3/ School

Jo-Meg shows off 3 of the Very Large Collection of school books I own.

4/ Items with first letter of name - I picked my board nick-name, as it's not very easy to find things that start with my actual name.

This is Lottie, in the Library, on the shelf of authors beginning with L.  She is surrounded by Lilliput Lane houses, and there's a Lamp to light the room up.
Lilliput lane link - from wikipedia.  They are Elfy's collection, and when we were in England a few years back it was very exciting to see some of the actual houses we have the miniatures of.

Squee! That's an absolutely amazing school shot, davidd! I love the dramatic lighting. And that notebook with 'caramel' written on it. I love caramel, it's my all-time favorite flavor, I like it even more than chocolate.

Elfy, what a great batch! There are authors I'd love to sign my books, but most of them are already dead. I need to get a medium to channel them and have them sign my books that way. I have a few Nici pencil cases! And more than a few Nici sheep LOL The 'E' group looks nice and cozy, and the egg gives it a touch of Wonderland-style nonsense, I love it! And Amelia among the roses is simply gorgeous!

Lejays - another great batch! The pants one made me chuckle. Your polka dots ladies are beautiful, and you came up with a great solution for the school prompt! The 'L' photo is awesome, I love all the stuff you found and I'm a little envious (but in a good way) of your library, my books are sorted by size to save space, I'd love to have them organized properly.

Oh, I tidied up the tiny space I used for the photo of Lottie. If I pulled back the shot, you can see that the library isn’t well organised at all smile

Although most of the books are in around about the right place for their letter Im the alphabet. We will ignore the 8 hip-high piles on the loungeroom floor, and the smaller piles on the library couch for the moment...


I’m really looking forward to being able to buy myself a new pair of jeans that will fit around the waist. I did find a pair at the back of the cupboard last week that do fit me now, so I’m okay for the meantime.

I feel you, Nyxie. LOL I get to choose between older pants that still don't fit, and newer ones that now need a belt. >sigh<
Space dinosaurs.... cooool.
Clearly I was lazy on the 'name-letter' prompt, with one item... blush

But it perfectly encapsulates you!  Something ship-related.

We were just following on from neon’s example of multiple items for our letters.


Looking forward to the next group of prompts.

I'm off to a very slow start...

Polka dots
My girls don't have a ton of dots in their wardrobe, but I managed to dig out two spotty dresses...

Oh boy! More fun prompts and clearly up some people’s alley... LOL
“Green“… Oh never mind, I was going to say that might be a challenge but I just thought of something, ha ha.
I read rule #4 .... Just sayin’, I thought afterwards that I could have scavenged a few more items.
dargos, I love the style of the black polkadot dress – so cute.

School supplies, most of these are art supplies as this is my studio table.
