Storytelling Sunday

Storytelling Sunday is all thanks to Kate of Liberty Cottage who suggested it as a way of continuing From High In The Sky's Christmas Club of 2010 into 2011. We told stories right the way through the year, with over fifty bloggers contributing more than two hundred stories. And in 2012 we expanded again. The Words The Pictures drew in over five hundred stories from bloggers all over the world!

For 2013 I have a new plan. Won't you think about joining us?

Storytelling Sunday Three: Pick Your Precious

There is no excuse for not joining in with this one - everyone can do it! Pick Your Precious is about celebrating the little things you love: those souvenirs, bits and pieces, things from your past you can't bear to throw out. You know, the special little something you have tucked away in a drawer or up on a shelf? Or the thing you  love most in a room? Or the object you would save if you knew you had to leave the country? Your favourite things.

Start looking around, see what you love. Pick Your Precious is for short story tellers and for long. You can take the idea of simply a photo with a few words; or, if you are a can't-stop-yourself storyteller, you can expand as much as you like. The thing to keep in mind is that at the end of the year you'll have a permanent record of the little things you hold dear - and your family will know why you are holding onto them! Doesn't that sound like it might be worth it? No more "Do you really need that?"

You can make this as quick or as carefully documented as you like. You'd be surprised, once you get started, what big stories small objects have to tell. Storytelling Sunday 3? We're celebrating our small stuff!

On the first Sunday of every month I'll be celebrating Storytelling Sunday with a tale or two. And you are most cordially invited to join me! Let's leave the crafting for a day, and sit round the fire and spin a yarn. Maybe you have a special memory, a story from years ago, a family legend..let's hear them all.

I'll post my story and leave a linky for you to post yours. Easy! So what are you waiting for? We are all sitting comfortably and the stories are about to begin...
