this is a cute decorative idea but my first thought was “albums? where am i supposed to get one of those?” because i’ve never had a record of my own, apart from a couple of singles (one was a present, one i won - erm, in a dance competition at a wedding or something. i was about 9.) what’s more, i couldn’t operate a turntable if you asked me to. i’m taking this as proof that i am still a smidge too young to get really interested in home decor. (maybe after i’m 30. or 40 - let me know when they’re making stuff out of iPods…)

until then, here’s some things i wrote: a british law and order? no thanks, what to expect from strictly come dancing 2008, what YUDU could do for you and the naked truth (if you’re a naturist, you might not like that one).

i was also “daddy or chips’d” on dollymix. (really want to find the ad slogan that inspired this series on youtube but all they have is spoof versions).

and i might print out and frame this. (article scan coming soon). great writer, great interviewee (check out her books).

  1. Where to get elpees? Charity shop, love! I’m not sure sticking an album cover to a wall counts as “home decor”, LOL!

  4. LOL @ Pom, I know! But I don’t even know how… I do know you can’t dance to close to one in case it skips though. (And that’s just weird!)

    @ Keris, LOL, it’s more home decor than I’m used to! I think I only know 1, or maybe 2 charity shops that even sell LPs anymore - round here they’ve moved on to CDs and DVDs! & Where do the poor homeless LPs go if you do make this craft idea?

    @Peepo! - That cupboard could be the key to our fortune, you know. Will we *ever* open it?? x
