…..in September 2008, the village where I live in, has its 1025th birthday,
custom is that we celebrate this every 5 years and this year, we, 12 ladies, will be part of the big parade, due to the big project we are building, I am sorry that I have not enough time to post my pictures on SC everyday, I will try to post twice a week and I will try to visit you as as much as possible…
I am the one responsible for the building of this project and I take that responsibility very highly…..after the parade, I will post pictures of it, we made a promise to keep it a secret what we will be building….3 of you I gave pictures of the model I/we make, I am sure they will not give away anything…..
One thing I can give away…..it has nothing to do with Cinderella……

Oh my gosh, that's really intriguing. I look forward to seeing the finished article

Astrid.
I look forward to seeing a picture of you dressed as a pirate Astrid
Picturit: I will make sure you get that picture, Chris...it will be a lot of fun..
Astrid.
This is a beautiful image, Astrid...still life, with mystery!
You have given mundane builders tools great dignity with this shot.
Picturit: Thank you Ray, I am lucky that I have some elctrical machinery to, but most of it will be handmade....that's why we start early, to make sure we will be finished in time...
Astrid.
That sounds like so much fun. I can't wait till it's all over and we can see the photos of the parade! Have fun!!
Picturit: We have this idea already from September 2006, it takes a lot of preperations, only women will work on it...that is the most fun.....
AStrid.
Wow Astrid! Your secret is making me really curious. I can't wait to see shots from the parade. Like this shot a lot!
Picturit: Thank you, I will post pictures of the making and the parade..
it will be September before we know..... Astrid.
Are you building a large plank to walk on
Picturit: Yep, I am the first one they will throw into the water...so I am happy I can swim...
Astrid.
you have us all hooked nicely now Astrid
Picturit: That was my intention...I will post pictures of the 'making of...' and the parade though.
Astrid.
Een ontzettend goed gecomponeerde stilleven die ons te verstaan geeft waar jij en je mederwerksters nou hard bezig zijn mee, ik wens allen een gelukkige vaart en heel veel suc6! Ik begrijk dat we nu -heeelaaas- moeten afzien van een foto per dag, maar je moet de accent natuurlijk verleggen op het hoofdwerk! En je wil ons als kijkers laten deelnemen aan je geweldige engagement! Prima!
Picturit: Philine, het is niet anders, ik zal heus nog wel foto's op mijn blog zetten, maar dit project heeft even voorrang.
Bedankt voor je goede wensen.....ik hou je op de hoogte. Astrid.
I love your shot Astrid, you have done yourself proud. Murder mystery in the making, everyone held in suspense.
All for one and one for all. The glass slipper would fit every time mijn vriend
Picturit:
Thank you for your kind words, Musketeer. Astrid.
A very mysterious shot Astrid. I'm intrigued by the significance of the pirate. Looking forward to the outcome.
Ingrid
Picturit: Ingrid, you will love it, we already started out with the preparations from September 2006...I will show it all after the parade...
Astrid.
Astrid I like surprises good luck with you project
Picturit: Thank you so much for your best wishes, I think we can use a lot of good luck...
Astrid.
I like your mysterious shot Astrid. The suspens is unbearable! Best of luck in your project!
Picturit: LOL....Thank you so much for your kind words, it was fun trying that shot...
I took some advice from Mal..and it worked I gues, Astrid.
We have to wait till September!!!!?????
Picturit: I am sorry, yes until September, but please give note if you have nightmares over it, than I might tell you a little more, just to make you sleep better...
Astrid.
Great picture and presentation - loaded with secrecy and an ominous skull and crossbones to warn of the snooper. And a hammer and saw to make sure the snooper won't leak the secret
Only 12 ladies in your village? That is serious
Picturit: Thank you Louis, we are talking big business here, we don't joke around...
Astrid.
You're a good mystery writer, keeping us in suspense and coming back to find out the answers.
What a fun still life here!
Picturit: Thanks Ruth, it took me a while to get that still life, but the effort paid off I think, the lighting was done with a flash light...
Astrid.
This is impressive stuff, Astrid. Goedemorgen so you celebrate the 1025th anniversary every 5 years...talk about the land where time stood still...lol Do you want a second cup of cafe (with a thing over the e)?
Picturit: Yes please, I can use some koffie, while we work on this project, thank you for your kind words.
Astrid.
Good luck with the project. So far you have proved to be very artistic with this arrangement. Like the colors here and the pirate shirt. Great job so far.
Picturit: John, thank you so much for your kind words, it will be a great project but so much fun to do, it will be full with bright colors too.
Astrid.
Sounds fascinating ... I might stay around in shutter chance to see the end result ..Ha! try and keep me away. richard
Picturit: Please stay until October, than at least I can show you my pictures
Astrid.
Looks like everybody want to see the result of this project
Me too
Picturit: I knew it...I just knew it....
I will try my best to make this a succes. Astrid.
I cannot wait to see what you have all been up to !! Good luck with your building project and also do not forget to have a great time in the celebrations either ! Not too drunk now. :o) John
Picturit: Hick....Hick...no more rhum for me I gues....
thank you for your kind words. Astrid.
Cooking up something wonderful there, eh Astrid. I have no guesses, but I can't wait. Enjoy!!!!!
Picturit: Thank you, Maria, we will have some great fun with all the ladies.....
Astrid.
Well I can't wait!! Must have a nautical flavour by the look of things. This is a super picture Astrid
Mind your thumbs with that hammer
Picturit: I am lucky to have two thumbs
It is very nautical....and it could get dangerous too Astrid.
Interesting shot to announce the start of your village project Astrid, I hope you use these tools as well as you use your camera. Don't starve us of too many of your pictures.
Picturit: I should be modest, I am used to handle these tools in the same way I handle my camera, with much care and love and knowledge, thank you for you compliment, I will try to post as much as I can....
Astrid.
Shiver your timbers, young Astrid - I bet Johnny Depp will be pleased to help out.
Good luck with the project ;o)
Picturit: Johhny just set sail to my harbour, ermm...I have some room for him at the crows nest though.....
Thanks for your best wishes, it will be fun. Astrid.
I promise, I won't tell anybody that you sent me the plans, the facades, the sections and the 3D models of the pirate's boat for approval. Oh, I went through the script of the parade and I like it. Thanks for the invitation to be an honorary chairman of the parade. I must ask my secretary to check my schedule, if I'm not giving any speeches to the presidential candidates in September.
Picturit: Viktor, I just spoke with your secretary and she thinks she can fit you in on an early fligh to AMS, the friday before...there migh be a passenger with you, from Atlanta, who you might know....I am so glad that you told nobody of the 3D models, the ship, the time we have to be ready, national TV, drawings, use of material, hiring the music, clothing to make.
It will be my pleasure to se you the 6th of September.... Astrid.
really interesting photo, great lighting
Picturit: Thanks Keith, I used a flash light to get this effect.
Astrid.
I'm really looking forward to seeing the end result! This is certainly an interesting teaser!
Picturit: Thanks, it was fun to 'build' his still life.....
Astrid.

Picturit: Thanks Chantal, it was fun building it.
Astrid.
HAHAHAHAHA! I love the suspense you're giving, Astrid. Won't they be tickled pink when they find out!
Picturit: Indeed, this was fun to do.....I knew you would love this.......
Astrid.

Picturit: Robbie, this was fun to make, I will show in the second week of September what we made...
Astrid.
good lighting here
Picturit: Thank you, I did the lighting with a flaslight, Mal had done it before too (it was his idea), so I just gave it a try, to get that mysterious look.
Astrid.
I don't know that your project, I don't anderstand all you say. But, it's nothing : good like for your project !!!
I 'm very happy to see you again in September.
Picturit: Thank you for your dear words, I will try to post twice a week though.

Picturit: Thanks Jewlya, I will show when it, some day.....
We are on schedule..... Astrid.
Very well done ! I hope we'll have a lot of photo of the big parade !!
