Then the next can be Guy--trying to give a "froggy model pose"[/size][/color]LOL, then the one at the left end is Will--he looks like a tough one:P. That's my 2 cents...

 

That just made my day :laugh3::laugh3::laugh3:

I sent my postcards today!

:dance:

The lady in the post office knew that I'm going to London tomorrow and asked why I don't send them from there...

So I had to explain that that's not the point... :D

:lol:

Pris, I love your sig

LOL @ Guy's horns :lol:

Thankies :blush:

 

I wanted him to be the raindeer 'cause he's the uhmmmm.... ahem....... hairy one.... :lol:

Ohhhh..........I thought you made him the reindeer cuz he makes you "Horny" & you would very much like to "Ride Him"...............:rolleyes:

:wideeyed:

 

those are much better reasons!!!!!!!!!!! :sneaky:

 

but i'm not turning the PFFA thread into a pervy one, so i'll stick to my "he's hairy" comment :smug:

^ Good thinking, Pris :smug:

I do get a sensible thinking once every new moon.......... :smug:

 

 

 

soo........... :uhoh:

 

 

 

Postcards!!!!! :idea2:

 

Anyone sharing??? :D

I sent mine today! First I got weird looks from the guys where I printed the templates (they were all dressed in black with huge heavy metal tattoos). Then I went to another place to print the front... and the woman said: "hey, have you already bought your tickets to see them?" and me: errrr... yeah, back in... 2007" and she answered: "No, the other lady who works here bought it last saturday, they're coming in March" and me: "Hmmm... she might have bought tickets to see Radiohead..." and she: "Oh yes, that's it" :shifty: But then the girl from the post office was the nicest ever!! She took a looooooot of time trying to find a way to put the stamps without covering our logo! She made it with so much love and kept pointing several times how beautiful it was! :) I had a lot of fun working on my postcards!! :D

Awwww.. that's a nice postcards story :nice:

this[/url]...I've almost finished it, just need to take a picture of it and the other postcard (which sucks big time, it didn't come up as I wanted to :disappointed:)

edit: sorry for the blurryness

Thankies :blush:

incidentally, my new sig was my original card to send to the guys (without the writing on, of course). the quality was so bad on the card when i printed it, though, that it wasn't worth sending :sad:. but semy made the quality better for me and i thought it would be nice as a sig :nice:. i wish i could have sent it, though.

I like that!!

I thought that Chris is the one on the right as well!

Is your avatar from elfyourself?

 

Yes, Pris "elfed" the guys, and I took a pic from when she posted:D

I can't believe my theory on which froggy was which guy caused such a laugh riot!:P

 

Pris

I love how you find a similarity of each of the boys to each frog..... brilliant thinking!!!!! :lol:

Yeah or umm just plain crazy!:rolleyes2:

 

CONFESSION--I still haven't mailed out my postcards!:embarassed::shame::embarassed: I'm just such a big procrastinator, and I HATE the post office:cry:. But I will do it. By Sat. the latest, I promise!!!:blush:

This one is so cute:D. I think Chris is definitely the one hanging off on the right ('cause he can never sit still and is always acting silly). And then the one next to him should be Jonny:smiley:. Then the next can be Guy--trying to give a "froggy model pose"LOL, then the one at the left end is Will--he looks like a tough one:P. That's my 2 cents...

Anyway, as promised... here are my postcards:

Postcard 1 took me 2 days to do it, postcard 2 took me 2 days as well, plus 2 slacking days :D

Your cards are lovely, and you can tell you put a lot of effort in to them!

 

I am not at all artistic so I'm still figuring out what to do for my "home-made" one, but for my local one I picked this

It shows a street in Liverpool that's just around the corner from Parr St Studios where they recorded most of Parachutes & AROBTTH.

Yeah it really took me a while to pull it off. I used every tool I have in my "Art Stuff Box"... I was even afraid the postal office might reject the other postcard because they are mostly cut-outs and are embossed in the paper. Luckily, I found a sealing adhesive (about the size of the postcard) to seal it up!

 

Oh wow... You made this? the colors are lovely. *off topic* I was at a local bookstore and I was reading this book about London... reading through the pubs and Liverpool -the Beatles- and the famous landmarks (Wesminster Abbey, House of Parliaments/Big Ben and the Museums) made me want to visit London more!!!

God, no, I didn't make that card, I bought it!!!

 

And you should visit London if you ever get the chance, it is an amazing city.

Yeah, I really want to... Its just that its expensive and its hard to get a visa for your place, that is why I'm studying really hard so that in the near future, I'll be able to afford it and finally wander around your place, and not just explore it from the book :P

 

*guys sorry for going off topic*

 

let me know what you think of my postcard :P

Your postcards are amazing, girls :nice:

 

thank you, it really took a lot of effort. I'm happy with the way it turned out. though it wasn't as good as Pris'... hahahaha :laugh4:

I inmediately saw your sig and "Postcards" came to my mind :idea2:

 

It's a shame you couldn't send it because is really pretty :nice:

 

But then again the ones you did send were amazing!!!!!!!! :D

Alison that's so pretty!!!!!!!!

Well, most cards from Liverpool tend to feature The Beatles and it seemed daft to send a postcard of one band to another band!

 

When I found that one I was thrilled. I love the clours in it and the place it depicts is literally 60 seconds away from Parr Street Studios. And the cinema you can see in the card is a really cool cinema that shows lots of different kinds of movies as well as the big blockbusters (the chairs recline and you can take alcohol in with you too). I figured they may well have gone there during their time in the city. It's the best cinema in Liverpool

Oh that's so nice :nice:

 

They probably have great memories of that place!!!! :D
