I have two offerings, both of which I like, but on reflection (sorry, bad joke!), I will go for this one:
It was a window of a fishing tackle shop in London. I did take the picture but not today. Today I altered the contrast to bring out the layers so hope thats not counted as cheating!
The other picture I love, simply because I am really into textures and decay:
I reckon Tim Holtz would be proud of me!
As for Part 2, yesterday's theme, I found that tricky. But then I gave it some thought and I associate picnics with that yucky brown liquid that passes for tea in an old fashioned vacuum flask:
I modified this photo I took of a flask to 1960's style colouring and rounded the corners using Picnik! lol (groan!)

The craft I made today was this paperclip bookmark:
(just need to bend the bottom curve around a little more)
It's just a paperclip bent around with beads and whatever knicknacks you have around threaded onto it.
Little tip I found useful:
To prevent beads rolling away off your work surface, put them on a cheap bathmat.
See you tomorrow,

I love your photo of the fishing lures, they look like a swarm of fish in a tank!

Thanks Kandi, didn't know they were called lures. Aren't they incredible? Whoever made it must have loads of patience it must have taken ages! Yes they do look like a school of fish, like you see on nature programmes.
I have added my craft now if you want to take a look. ;-)
Love this post! Definitely allowed as well - it's all about bringing out your creativeness after all. I was all set to upload mine today - moved a load of stuff on to it and yup, the paint was still wet! Aargh! Start again! I gave up on picnic, drove me mad - all I could think of was maggoty apples for some reason *g*
Love the bathmat idea to stop beads from escaping, I bought some special fabric that does the same for jewellery making! Doh!
