When my daughter asked me what I wanted for Mother's Day I said I would REALLY love to be shown how to use 'Picnik'. On Mother's Day I received some lovely gifts...
A hand painted card,
pretty lace on a handmade bobbin,
handmade buttons,
pretty vintage buttons,
patchwork fabric, a selection of baklava (sweet pastries) which I didn't photograph because I ate them too quickly and...
a certificate for a course on learning how to use Picnik.
Well this afternoon I had my first lesson (lots of patience on my daughter's part) and a horrible TEST!
Luckily I passed my test (see above result) and was rewarded with a bar of chocolate...hehe.
Unfortunately Picnik is closing down soon (I think it has been bought out by Google so not sure if it will be available still) but my daughter is also going to introduce me to some other sites.
I will have to apologise in advance if I go a bit silly for a while with my photos as it is so much fun but hopefully I will calm down again soon!
As I am writing this my garden is being bombarded by huge hail stones...I just hope my plants survive!
