Always Loved Glossy Magazines?

Wouldn't it be fun to create your own magazine?
I expect when you were very young you created pretend, or to you, quite real magazines , books or illustrated comics. This same childlike desire remains in us  - who we are doesn't really change.
Of course time and circumstances can do terrible things to the person that is the true you. Good news: It's NEVER too late to get your real self back.

Recently found a very cheap app for helping photos look a little more like those favourite magazines. Although it would be nice to learn professional techniques for producing the images one would be proud of, right now I'm still in the process of learning a little, almost daily, about everything really, but particularly about blogs. Until I know how to produce those great looking pages I will experiment with things at hand. For e.g. PicFrame this new revised app from Apple. The picture above is an example. Here's another:

What do you think?     The first is of a beautiful old jug I found in a second hand shop. It's got an exquisite design of the English countryside on it, my water colour is in the background. The second is our front garden, now, in spring, in  New Zealand. If you live in the northern hemisphere just hang on, this is what is waiting for you after winter.

Try to bring to mind what it was you loved doing as a child-It's significant.

"Unless you accept God's kingdom in the simplicity of a child, you'll never get in." The Message, Luke 18.
