Christmas in June? Oh yes. It happens every year in my head: June 2nd, birthday. June 3rd, time to start thinking about Christmas

Seriously though, I was talking to our wonderful Heather over the weekend about birthdays (I’ve promised to get her a copy of Crush It! if no one else has done so by the time hers rolls round in early September) and how I’d forgotten to ask you if you’d like to Give A Brick in lieu of a birthday card.

Never mind, we both concluded, won’t be long until Christmas! Which is when we started talking about cards and badges and then, Heather suggested the most marvellous of ideas – an on-line Give A Brick advent calender.

Being a wonderfully talented 3D artist, Heather knew she’d be able to help. Isn’t she kind It might be another 6 months until Christmas but even so, we concluded that all those pictures, all by herself, was a lot of work. That’s where you come in

Watch this short video, it will explain all (and is a lot more fun than just reading about it here) but in case you just don’t like videos (or you really can’t be bothered – shame on you!) the short version is, we’re asking all artists and writers to get involved with Christmas@GiveABrick.com by sending pictures and/or poems to be used for the Give A Brick on-line advent calender.

Here’s the video:

And the happy salsa?

Wonderful Danielle LaPorte of White Hot Truth and The Fire Starter Sessions has very kindly said yes and donated a copy of her amazing Fire Starter Sessions to Give A Brick. I can’t wait to get started on all that she has with this so Give A Brick can totally rock the rest of 2010

P.S.

It’s not too late to Give A Brick (£1) in lieu of a birthday card. Just click the cake below and you’ll be taken safely to Paypal And, thank you xx
