Fireworks!

Tonight I braved the cold (not that cold but alone it feels colder) to watch the evenings championship Musical Fireworks in Southport! Here are a few of my favourite shots; only just starting to play with the manual settings *blush* but better late than never :) Position was a little resticted due to the tripod and also it is clear i need to invest in a more sterdy version. However although the composition I kow I could have done better on, I am pleased with the result of my first 'shoot'! What do you think??

Starry thoughts

I REALLY must get back into this blog, its such a fun way of recording and sharing all my wonderful crafty finds, the magical ideas people have and the inventive and inspiring creativity on the net that I browse every day!!

Ive been so wrapped up in baby cakes, web designing, crafting of my own that I havent checked in for a while. Time for changes!

So let me begin sharing again. With todays Etsy find is just too gorgeous not to include, it got me to thinking about Jenni Land and how I havent been here for some time now....need to pay more visits to Jenni Land because I like it here :)

rainbow cakes and inspiration

Well ladies and gents, I am still unemployed and though it was pleasant at the beginning, now it only serves as a monkey clinging to my back, i cant seem to shake the joblessness from me...aghhh! I needed some inspiration today and during my musings i came across a rainbow cupcake to go with my rainbow cake or earlier posting, and a cloudy photo which always serves a good purpose.

onward and up we go

I signed up for an online adobe website design course today so hope that i can fill my time constructively, though not sure how i will pay for it yet...! lol It will stop me from looking at all these other lovely things to make :D

hope you enjoying happy days all!!
