Scrapping the Everyday

From 1 to 21 in the blink of an eye
Where has the time gone?
It seems like only yesterday you helped your daddy put the swing together.
It was the evening before your birthday. We had hoped to get the swing up ready for the following morning but you saw the box and that was the end of a quiet evening before the big day. You helped to open the box, unpack the bits hold the tools tighten a few screws and before I knew it you were high in the sky, I was terrified you would fall but you just laughed, more daddy! more daddy!
Now look at you, in your leathers, you have wanted a motorbike for as long as we can remember. You put yourself through the test and saved your wages to buy your blue Suzuki.
I am still terrified you will fall but it is your dream fulfilled and I am happy for you.

10 on the 10th

I might just make this on the tenth!
Shimelle hosts Ten on the Tenth. A list of anything, anything at all, but it must be on the tenth of the month and contain ten…

I have been playing with photoshop. 🙂

1. Filters/distort / wave is great fun

2. Filters /distort/twirl; I can’t choose between them !

3. Actions are brilliant. I know, I am possibly the last person to discover this

4. Photo to Oil Painting is wonderful, especial pictures of food!

5. Photo to Black & White sketch

6. And then colour the sketch using the colour from your photo
7. I can follow a tutorial!

I think these photos speaks for themselves. I have used them before but it just fills my heart with joy whenever I see them.
