B-I-G B-i-r-t-h-d-a-y!

Hello again!  Thought it was about time that I came back to show you a few bits and pieces that I've been creating in my rather long absence.  Those of you that follow me on Pinterest (and hello to any new people who have found me from there!) may have noticed that lately I have become obsessed extremely keen on bombarding posting onto my nostalgic board, 'My Childhood (1960s/70s UK)'  The reason for that is that I am coming up to a rather big birthday next week and I can't seem to resist looking back on anything and everything related to my youth.  (I'm sure a psychiatrist would have something to say about that!...)

(I apologise to those Pinterest followers of mine that aren't of that era, just unfollow that particular board if you don't want your Pinterest 'inbox' clogged up with a combination of  dodgy music choices, 70s Pyrex dishes and psychedelic wallpapers....)

I've also started pinning photography articles because, woohoo, I'm excited to be getting my first digital SLR for my birthday, yay! (Thanks in advance sweet hubby of mine x)

And on that subject, I've loved taking pictures of the snow we had a little while back and also some indoor abstracts for the times when the weather has been bad and I haven't wanted to venture out.

Like this one of our skylight, bannister and lampshade:

(The Post-camera effect was created using iPiccy)

Before that, I did some more pages in my journal which were part of the Creative Jump Start course.  

This one:

...Where I stuck various textured tapes down onto my page and then painted around and over them with neocolor watercolour crayons and water.  (I added some journalling on afterwards).

And also this one:

...Which had a rain theme as we were getting a fair bit at the time of creating it. 

I have been producing other things of interest too but that will do for today,  the rest I'll save up to show you another time.

Thanks for taking the time to pop by today,

See you soon,

Nicky
