Simple Things

18th January

Not so much the phone but the phone call.
I was feeling pretty low this morning until I spoke to my friend, she was so happy.
She said that the sun was shining and the birds were singing and it made her feel good. So I opened my window to let the day in, and I am listening to the birds singing their little hearts out.
She has lifted my spirits.
Thank you K x
My New Year starling was so busy this afternoon.

Project 365 week 2


I decided that if at some time I want to print these pages I should make them a double LO.
I am loosely following the prompts from Digital Photography School. The first three days of the month were ‘newness’ Jan 3rd was ‘cold’ and 10th was ‘breakfast’ I like having a theme to work to, it focuses my mind which I desperately need at the moment.

I have started working with photoshop, I love it, every day I learn something new about it. Hopefully as the weeks go by I’ll become more adventurous!
I am starting to visit your blogs, I am not sure if Google reader was a good idea now, I can see just how many posts there are to catch up on!

January Blues

17th January 2011

January and February are very difficult months for me and I suppose my poor family who have to live with me. I feel as though there is a huge black cloud hanging over me, rather like the one that is outside my window right now, it is raining so hard here…
I found this poster here

I have a few quotes from Ghandi that I like. I printed this and it is now on my wall, where I can see it every day!
I found this blog which I will take a look at over the next few days.
So, do any of you have the January Blues? & what do you do to get you through?

Project 365/week 1

First digital page

I have decided to take part in this project this year. I really want to improve my photography skills, I want to learn some more about photoshop and I am missing crafting with paper.
Like Amy all my ‘suff’ is packed away, she has inspired me to give digital scrapping a try.

I love both Alexa and Giselle’s page style, so I am taking inspiration from these three ladies.
Rather than publish a photo every day, I am intending to gather 7 days together and make a digital page with them, that’s the plan!
This is my first page.

For January I am using a template from Two Peas I am keeping it very simple until I am more confident with photoshop.
When it was finished I wondered what made me choose such a strong colour for the background, obviously I just like it but I realised it is the same colour as the ‘T’ shirt I am wearing today!!

The Twelve Days of Christmas

5th January

Sir
Our client, Miss Emily Wilbraham, instructs me to inform you that with the arrival on her premises at half past seven this morning of the entire percussion section of the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra and several of their friends she has no course left open to her but to seek an injunction to prevent your importuning her further.

I am, sir, yours faithfully,

G. Creep,
Solicitor-at-law
