Explore, is a new on-line scrapbooking class which starts today and runs for 4 weeks with prmpts Monday through Friday.

Explore includes:

• 20 full colour PDF prompts

Really looking forward to getting started on this project, here's hoping I will finish it!

10 things on the 10th........

So over on Shimelle's Blog today is 10 things on the 10th.  When the New Year started this year I vowed not to make any New Year resolutions, instead I set a few 'goals'!  I just feel goals are bit more flexible.   Resolutions are made and then broken, goals I feel are ongoing - you can't really fail.  So my goals for this year included the usual stuff - being healthy and losing some weight, getting fit, spending more time with family and friends, learning more about photography, more time to scrapbook, to enjoy life and to start a blog.  So I felt this was an appropriate post after reading Katie the Scrapbook Lady's post where she talked about July being halfway through the year.  So what better time to focus on these goals again.  So here are my 10 goals for the rest of the year:

• focus on the good things
• being healthy
• getting fit
• spending time with family
• spending time with Friends
• learning more about photography
• more time to scrapbook
• learning to slow down and relax
• keep developing blog
• not to sweat the small stuff!

So there are my 10 things on the 10th this month.  What are your 10 things this month?

Crazy Days of Summer

Light

The theme over at Project Alicia this week is Light.  I took this picture a few weeks ago and I loved the light, does it fall into the category of Backlight and/or Sunflare?  Anyway I also used this for another challenge, so I'm getting a bit lazy.  Anyway have a look at everybody else's pictures, some of them are stunning.



30 Day Photography Challenge ......Day 30

Self Portrait

Ok this in the final prompt of the 30 Day Photography Challenge over at White Peach Photography and of course I am late with it.  Oh how I hate self portraits but it is one good way of learning.  I took it holding an old film Canon camera belonged to my Uncle who has passed away and a laminated copy of the 30 Day Challange.  Can't believe I have actually taken part in a photography challenge and went on to complete it.  O.k. I ran out of steam near the end of it but better late than never.  When starting out I felt well I'll give it a go - I'm great for starting things but when it comes to completing them, now that's a different story.  Anyway thoroughly enjoyed this challenge run by Mary over at White Peach Photography.  Why don't you have a look at everybody else's Self Portraits.

30 Day Photography Challenge.....Day 29

Black and White!



Today's challenge over at White Peach Photography is for a black and white photo.  This is a very rare photograph I am able to capture of my son - he hates, hates having his picture taken.  I also had to include this one of my daughter as I liked it too.  Is it the mother in me can't leave one out - have to have a picture of both my kids.  Anyway have a look at everybody else's 'black and white' over at White Peach Photography .

Crazy Days of Summer .....Yellow



Yellow!

The theme over at Project Alicia's Crazy Days of Summer for this week is Yellow.  I had taken a few yellow themed photos but when I saw this bunch of yellow roses in Tescos, I had to get them.







30 Day Photography Challenge.....Day 28

Flowers!

Today's challenge over on White Peach Photography is a photograph of 'flowers'.  Love these flowers and would love to have them in the garden but I don't know what they are called.  I find that I am taking more photos of flowers that I would like in the garden as I am the world's worst for remembering names of flowers and plants.  So next time I'm at a garden centre I will have an idea as to what I am looking for.  Anyway why don't you have look at everybody's 'flowers' over at White Peach Photography.



30 Day Photography Challenge.....Day 27

From a distance!



Ooops I am falling behind on the 30 Day Photography Challenge over on White Peach Photography.  Anyway today's challenge is a photograph 'from a distance'.  I captured this photo on the way home from my son's football match (they won!!!).  Why don't you head on over to White Peach Photography to have a look at everybody else's 'from a distance'.

30 day Photography Challenge.....Day 26

Close Up



Over on White Peach Photography the challenge today is 'Close Up'.  Today's photo is a close up of darling Hubby, who is a very accommodating model!!!  I think I caught him off guard.  Have a look at everybody else's 'Close Up' on White Peach Photography.

30 Day Photography Challenge Day.....25

Pink Tutu!



Over on White Peach Photography the challenge today is for something 'pink'.  My photo today is of Chloe's Tutu when she was small and I had to include this second one as it is one of her favourite 'Chloe' bags.  One day it is tutu's and the next it is bags!  Where has my little girl gone?  Why don't you pop on over to White Peach Photography to have a look at everybody else's 'pinks'.

A Chloe Bag!
