There's been a nature photography competition on UK TV over the last few months, and the photos taken have been stunning.<br />Good luck with your pictures!Christina Hollishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05801516849671439323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36709846.post-85490237856291313972011-10-09T23:07:22.707-07:002011-10-09T23:07:22.707-07:00Hi Melanie - I blame it on living in a very old ho...Hi Melanie - I blame it on living in a very old house.

The only artsy thing that i am totally passionate about is photography. I love the way you can take a picture and capture that moment for ever. <br /><br />All the best with your blog tour.Sonalihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03991526196779502104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36709846.post-77249586044589966992011-10-09T14:20:24.712-07:002011-10-09T14:20:24.712-07:00O-K, so I've finally found someone who is busi...O-K, so I've finally found someone who is busier than me!

Clicking on a picture should take you to the page where it was first posted, hopefully with the instructions included! There are also a lot of LiveJournal communities dedicated to crafts - Elanorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13812016758623723193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36709846.post-78621207322404512682011-10-09T07:38:05.343-07:002011-10-09T07:38:05.343-07:00Thanks for commenting, Xandra - it's a full ti...Thanks for commenting, Xandra - it's a full time job trying to keep on top of everything, isn't it?
