No small talk today ... I'm just going to come straight out and ask:
So how big are you then?
At the time of writing there are:
- 8 contributions, alongside my own, now pinned to the 'Height of Summer' Pinterest board - thanks ladies!
It makes me smile to know there's lots of people carrying on the conversation!
There's also:
- 14 of us arranged on the height chart I'm making from all those who've shared theirs in a blog post or in my comments. For a sneak peek ... check out this image which I posted to my Facebook page today.
- Apart from a few outliers the majority of those who've responded to my call are of a similar height to me [5'2];
- there's only one, so far, who fits into the 'average woman' slot [5'4];
- I'm thinking the responses so far have been a bit self-selecting and that I've touched an all-be-it-petite nerve out there;
- I'm wondering if I've started a movement in small folk ...
- I'm hoping I haven't scared the tall ones off!
... in my original Height of Summer post I reckoned that there are all kinds of creative ways you can join in WITHOUT HAVING TO SHARE A PHOTO OF YOURSELF ... so I created an art journal page to prove it!
And I decided upon the idea that 'Little is, as little does':
----------------------------
I've got a few more height-related journal pages and a scale-related scrapbook page to share before the series ends ... and I must dig out some more photos too.
And now it's your turn ...leave a comment, blog ... share ... whatever ... and I'll add your avatar to the height chart and/or the Pinterest board.

"Because even us below-averagers can do big things! " Now THAT has to become one of those fancily designed
ReplyDeletequotes on Pinterest!!! I LOVE it! And maybe you are onto something with your unscientific survey, maybe there's correlation between paper crafting and being shorter than average ;)
Yes, I am also 5"2 (and for the first time proud of it!) :P
i had every intention of joining in....there's still time. I'll let you know if i manage it!
ReplyDeleteHi Julie I'm still planning some posts just been in the land of Sun for the last two weeks. I am 5' 4" but definitely not average lol!
ReplyDelete5'5" and still working on a post about it.
ReplyDeleteRinda
I never realised how near 'average' I am....do I want to be average though??
ReplyDelete5'10 (and a bit) here and almost as wide at the moment! LOL! (Not for much longer though!)
ReplyDeleteWill have to think how to do a post about this :)
Your post today made me smile I love the thought of us below averages doing big things.....oooops given the game away.
ReplyDeleteMy post is planned for later in the week :-)
Your writing really makes me want to write about my height, but I'm just not going to stoop to your level.
ReplyDeleteBa-dum-dum-cha!
Something on its way soon x
I do have a story tell, but it's a "tall tale" :)
ReplyDeleteHope to have it posted in the very near future!
I'm 5' 8" and although when I took a growth spurt in primary school and HATED it, I quite like my height now :)
ReplyDeleteI'm 168cm I think 5'6"?
ReplyDeleteSlightly above average now but short until I was 16, I keep forgetting I'm not short as my mum and mum in law are both 5'10"!
