Some of you may probably wonder what refrigerator magnets has got to do with the theme ‘hope’. I have probably stretched it a little but truth is usually stranger than fiction.

I had been traveling the past few weeks. I have a friend who likes refrigerator magnets so I took this pic with the hope of making it into an online Christmas Card. I was full of hope this Christmas card would open some doors for me and I wouldn’t have to spend Christmas season so alone in a city away from home. :)

Anyway, I didn’t find the relevant software I needed like photoshop etc on the computer I had access to so the hope remained just that.. a hope. I never sent the card. The hope to open some new doors remained that too :) just a hope. hahahah

    I like your interpretation of Hope :)

    Fridge magnets do beautify the plain doors of it.
    I’ve got a friend that collects magnets from all over the world whenever he travels. Lovely!!

    In the year of 2009, I’m sure we’ll all be hoping for a better turn in the economy crisis too :P

  8. Carver says:

    That’s a clever take on the theme. There is always next year. You can make the card for next year and be ahead of schedule. Happy New Year!

  9. Save it for next year. I hope to receive it from you. :)

    That’s a different kind of hope. Stay on to the photo as you may not know when you can use it again to give someone a hope in the future.

    Happy New Year!

    pls… you can always google for GIMP download. It’s a freeware to edit photos.. just like photoshop.
