Friendship Vignettes ~ Reflection


Week 43 ~ Reflection

Welcome to this weeks Friendship Vignettes. Ruth isn't well this week (get well soon Ruth) so hasn't been able to join us but Mum is still here. So here are our 3 photo's for this weeks theme...



Don't forget to pop over to Maria's blog to see all the other lovely things she makes and for a link to the other photo's she took in this theme. My Mum also has her own blog so pop over to Pirate Springs to see the other pics she took. Ruth doesn't have one yet but if she does I'll let you know :-)

Also pop over to our Friendship Vignettes blog where you can see all our themes with the one picture we each chose. Just the pictures so they can speak for themselves.

Here are my other photo's for this week (although that's not all of them as I was experimenting with my camera so a lot of them are almost identical so these are the best of the bunch) I think in future unless there I've only taken a small number of pictures I will just pick the best as I'm going to be displaying them differently and to do that with 80 (my maximum number) would be too much for me and you! Anyway hope you like my new way of showing them :-)








I hope you have enjoyed this weeks Photo's and if you have taken any we'd love to see them too.

Friendship Vignettes ~ Drop


Week 42 ~ Drop

Welcome to this weeks Friendship Vignettes.We have some newbies joining us from this week. My Mum, Jan and Maria's newest Sister-in-Law, Ruth will be joining us every week on a photographic quest :-) We look forward to seeing what they bring to the project! So this week there are 4 photo's to see and then my usual photo video!

This is the week where I quietly wished for rain! did we get rain? yes but at night so unlike Maria I haven't got lots of lovely nature drop shots but mum and I found other things to take pictures of! Oh and getting used to my new camera meant getting to the park and the battery running out and yes there would have been drop photo's to be had! Oh well I'll keep a better eye on my battery levels now I can't carry spares on me!

So here are our pics...

Friendship Vignettes ~ Looking Up


Week 41 ~ Looking Up

Welcome to this weeks Friendship Vignettes. I have had a lot of fun taking these photo's this week and not only using my imagination but looking at things in a different way! Although I had lots of photo's I loved actually choosing the best was quite easy. I just love the perspective! Do pay attention to the very top of the tower as you can just see the point of the spire! It was good to choose a theme that got me out of the house (and away from the supermarket) this week :-)

So here are our pics...



I love how different our pics are this week :-)

Friendship Vignettes ~ Fresh


Week 40 ~ Fresh

Welcome to this weeks Friendship Vignettes. I have managed to get lots of photo's again this week. A sad reflection of my current state of health is that most of my pictures each week are taken in the supermarket ;-) Oh well. I think I'll have to choose and outdoor theme for next week!

So here are our pics...

Art Journalling

In Cathartic (my weekly art group) I was introduced to art journalling by my new friend Jay. Today I have woken up with a thumping headache and needed to take my mind off it while the painkillers got to work. Now trawling the internet for graphics and doing it all on my computer doesn't seem like the best idea when you have a headache but it has helped take my mind off my headache (which sadly is still about).

So my theme? Well I have been talking to family and friends about resting to build up my energy at this time and combined with this headache the obvious theme is 'Rest' 

I have to say I am happy with the result and putting my new Photoshop skills

So here it is and I hope you like it too and are maybe inspired to give art journalling a go!
