Hi Philippa, I stumbled into your blog by looking up photoblog via Ringsurf.

I'm adding you to my very-much-not-so-daily photo blog with the hopes to increase my postings and camera work. I'm also learning Photoshop Elements and am dipping into creating custom brushes.

the themes on a topic, like creating a series, is why I'd like to keep your blog on my list.

peace,
