Mosaic Me

by Jo Beaufoix on July 12, 2008

Last night I didn’t get to sleep until about 4am. I blame these ladies. Today has thus far, been crazy. First Ingenious Junior’s party, then deliver Miss M home, then deliver Miss E to school for her performance, then shopping, then watch performance with Holl and Queen of Hearts, then goodbyes and home. Miss E is still at school as she has another show to do tonight. I need to grab a shower, some tea and a quick cuddle from Miss M, then I have to pick my mum up as we’re off to see the show again tonight and will probably get home about 10pm ish.

Blimey.

So my post today is a little idea I grabbed from lovely Groovy Mom. It’s a question and answer type thing where the answers are pictures. Here’s what you do…

1. Type your answer to each of the questions below into Flickr Search.
2. Using only the first page, pick an image.
3. Copy and paste each of the URLs for the images into this mosaic maker.

My Answers:

1. What is your first name? Jo
2. What is your favorite food? Risotto
3. What high school did you go to? All Saints
4. What is your favorite color? Brown
5. Who is your celebrity crush? David Tennant
6. Favorite drink? Vodka and Lemonade
7. Dream vacation? The Galapagos Islands
8. Favorite dessert? Anything chocolatey
9. What you want to be when you grow up? Healthy
10. What do you love most in life? My family
11. One Word to describe you. Silly
12. Your (blog) name. Jo Beaufoix (Like Kate Moss but Not)
(On #12, if you have a Flickr name, use that one instead of your blog name.)

I’ll be back with a proper post tomorrow after I have slept. I NEED SLEEEEEEEEEP.

Spare a thought for Holl as she is travelling home at this moment and it took her about 5 hours to get here yesterday as traffic was bad. Let’s sll put our heads together and think ‘clear road ahead.’

What a ‘kewl’ post! I’ve tried to use this mosaic maker myself w/o success. I have a Flickr account but don’t seem able to access it … and although I’ve signed up for an account and uploaded photos, I can’t get them into a mosaic. Do you have any advice for me?
Hugs and blessings,

I am impressed you are functioning at all! Such a lovely time, it was all fab :) I may nick this mosaic idea …

3 Kimberly 07.12.08 at 1:31 pm

Nifty! Luuuurve the mosaic idea. Consider it nicked.

I don’t know how many times I have to tell various bloggers - HANDS. OFF. DAVID. TENNANT.

Your mosaic is very artsy. I love it!

6 Akelamalu 07.13.08 at 6:24 am

I love your mosaic! I did this a couple of weeks ago.

7 holly 07.13.08 at 11:26 am

ooooooh. tara up there is not going to like our upcoming blogger spread. ouch. oh well.

anyway, i did get home, and with only stopping at half the rest stops between yours and mine. i got sick at none of them. bonus! home was arrived through the magic of dr. pepper and jelly beans.

how is it that your picture mosaic has things that bear no resemblance to your answers? i see no risotto…okay i suppose all the other things kind of … apart from all saints. what the heck does that pick have to do with all saints?

sigh. i . give . up .

Sharp intake of breath Holly! To what pray tell, do you refer? I am clawing at my computer screen for details!

9 Laura McIntyre 07.13.08 at 12:31 pm

You sound like you have been busy, i just love the flickr memo such a neat idea.

Hi lovely storyteller. To get the pictures on the post you click on the actual photo you want then copy and paste the URL from the top address bar. At first I looked for as URL near the picture but didn’t spot one, but I tried the above and it worked ok. Have a go and see if that works. Otherwise I’m a bit dim at technical stuff so I’m not sure. Hope that helped.

Belle it was fab, and you may nick it my sweet. it was kind of fun. :D

Kim, I nicked it too. Can’t wait to see yours. :D

Tara, he is ours. Holl, Cami, Belle, me and so many others share him. You can join the gang, but you can’t have him all to yourself ok?

Groovy Mom thanks, it’s hard when you can only look at the first page. ;)

Akela, yours was fab. I remember.

Heh heh, Holl, I am such a rule follower. You were only allowed to pick things off the first page. Risotto’s did come up, but I liked the risotto ingredients pictures more than the piles of sticky rice. I’ll have a word with Tara about David. She’ll understand. And I’m so glad you’re ok. Bad Schmesco for making sick inducing health foods. I’m sure it had nothing to do with the alcohol the night before.

Tara, all will be revealed. ;D

Laura it has been a mad few weeks and it won’t be slowing down till after my brother’s wedding which is in another two weeks. It’s all good though. Just tiring. :D
