twenty twelve

I think a photo montage is a good way to summarise this past year and resurface all those old memories that make you smile a little. Why not stir the emotions a bit? It's the end of something brilliant. And I think a celebration is in order:

a new blog!

Dear The Tea House,
I have just set up a new blog to document my artwork. (http://lovefrom-me.blogspot.co.uk)

Please follow me : )!
I am doing an art foundation course for a year; 7 weeks in and we are required to blog our photography! I want to use this for more than just photography so watch this space. I want to post personal images, and whilst some of it will be required evaluations of tutors' selected images and experiments & explanations with the technical side of things, I hope you will enjoy musing through my (hopefully exciting) discoveries.
Bare with me as I set it up in my limited time and let me know what you think!
With love
Sarah

Caitlin

Caitlin's a gymnast. Pretty cool huh?

I asked Cait to do a 'messy handstand'... this was her attempt. After we had stopped laughing at this we tried again...

My fave picture of the day!

My family and I went to the beach. We spent most of the time laughing, eating fish and chips and pushing each other into the waves but my sister and I slipped off for five minutes to take some photos! Isn't she beautiful?

Love, Megan x

Walking across clifftops in the summer sun

These photos were taken when Kate and I went on a cliff walk on our holiday in Cornwall (sorry- you've probably already heard about Cornwall if you've been following the blog but I couldn't resist sharing this beautiful view with you!) This beach is definitely making onto my favorite places list! It was a sunshine-y day. From the edge of the cliff, it felt like you could see for miles. We could even see our friends body boarding if we zoomed in on our cameras (photo 5!) I wish I could have taken more photos but my memory card was full and I didn't want to delete my end of term photos. Alas.

The beautiful little beach by our house

If you look closely, you can see Milla, Gina, Abbie, Sarah G, Sarah P and Meggy D body boarding!

You see the big rock island thing  in the sea? We swam out there!

On another note: I just got back from a week of summer camp where I was so blessed. It's been raining for months in England but we had the most ridiculously sunny week (prayer works), friendships were nurtured and many lives were touched by God. We were studying the books of Daniel and 1 Peter- I learned so much about how we should react to suffering as a Christian and what it really means to stand apart from the crowd. One of the memory verses that stuck out to me was this one: 'Do not fear what they fear, do not be frightened. In your hearts set apart Christ as Lord' 1 Peter 3:14. I'm such a worrier and this verse is a beautiful reminder to me that I don't need to be afraid of anything in this world but that I can take all my fears and insecurities to God.

Hope you're all enjoying the summer sun!

Love,
Megan
