oh yeah week twenty bring it on. this week is about overlaying in pic monkey. i’ve not really done this type of editing before, so something new for me too. pic monkey is easy peasy to use, which is why i always head there instead of photoshop which scares the pants off me. but this is why i love the better photo project, each challenge that annie sets makes me think about my photo differently.

the gruffalo is a big hit in this house, actually that’s an understatement as it’s a huge hit, very much in equal measures from young to old older. what did catch me by surprise is that this year it’s the gruffalo’s 15th anniversary and the gruffalo’s child 10th anniversary, and to celebrate these landmarks the forestry commission are inviting families across the england into a deep dark wood near their home to celebrate.
