How I did it

How I did it: A few weeks after I posted this goal a sack arrived through our door to donate clothing to the NSPCC. This is one of my favourite charity's, and I have always wanted to donate monthly but am not in a position to set up direct debits at the moment, so this seemed like a good opportunity to give to a charity - especially one that meant so much to me. I filled the sack with a lot of clothes, most of which were brand new and still had tags on… Read how I did it…

How I did it: We flew to Amsterdam, which was so much easier than interrailing as we had done previously - my boyfriend was able to find us reasonably priced flights! The city of Amsterdam is amazing. I have now decided I love Holland! There is so much culture in the city, and obviously there are also hedonistic elements that the city is known for.

It had a smudged brown background and a blue fence, which I planned to put ghosts behind. I love how this one turned out, and how the smudged brown border turned into an oval frame.
