PostSecret – This weeks top picks..
I’m sure I’ve covered Sunday Secrets before (?), but simply put, it’s a public domain for peoples inner secrets. People Anonymously create / send postcards to a real life address to a guy named Frank Warren, who then selectively puts them onto a blog every Sunday – you can even buy books compiled solely of this art work! (see amazon links)
I love the concept, the idea of being able to open up and ‘get something off your chest’ for the whole world to see, without consequence. Personally, I’m a very ‘open’ person anyway, but reading other peoples secrets is a really odd experience!
Here are a couple of picks from this weeks post:

I love this! I can’t believe some of the things people post up there…some of these people are a psychiatrists dream

I had thought about posting a few of my inner most fears/secrets on there but soon realised that there isn’t enough card in the world for me to write it all up :s
…oh & noticed you’ve papered your blog…very snazzy

hahaha i know!! I’ve seen some pretty disturbing postcards to be honest.. some of which could probably be used as evidence to put people behind bars :\
Anyhoo, the concept is great, and yeah, i’m sure we could find some more card for our entries :p hahaha
Thanks for your comments on the design too… i had an couple hours free on Saturday morning so decided to give her a lick of paint and a little “snazzy” wallpaper
Have a great day my little squirrel
