Half Price Oreo Cushions & Instagram Photo A Day: week 1

If you're one of my twitter pals, you will already have seen that I am currently offering my Oreo Cushions (in a never before seen chocolate colour- they previoulsy looked like this) at Half Price. After retailing at £30.00, I'll be selling the last batch I made for only £15.00 each. And after this lot's gone- I've decided to discontinue this one for good- to concentrate on a solely British biscuit selection.

Lots have been given new homes already- and if you'd like a cuddle oreo in your life visit my shop now- there's very limited stocks- and as I said, once they're gone, they are GONE!

Last week I decided to take part in the Instagram Photo a Day in January challenge- and I'm really enjoying it so far! You can see my daily photos so far in my Flickr set, or by following me on instagram (username: nikkimcwilliams). Photography is one of my all-time loves: and I know I should really make time to take more photographs.

I try to travel light on a daily basis (hence the overwhelming ratio of instagram photos to actual camera photos (I have a Canon G11, if anyone was curious) but I'd really like to do a project that will encourage me to take more pictures. I've been inspired by The Dainty Squid to give a Photo A Week in 2011 project a go. It sounds like a big commitment, but I'll have a think about a worthy subject and let you all know. Watch this space!

A Photo A Day in January: Instagram Challenge


Happy 2012 Everyone! Hope you all enjoyed the Hogmanay celebrations and had a relaxing first day of the year. The other half and I spent the bells at my auntie's house in Glasgow drinking Amaretto/Leffe and eating wee sausage rolls. The 1st of Jan for us mostly involved a long walk, breathing in lots of fresh air, and visiting the town's McDonalds.

So- to the blog's main subject! (see the screenshot above). I spied this fun looking project via CutCopyCreate on instagram yesterday, and albeit a little late, have decided to take part! The idea is, in a nutshell- that you take a photo-a-day in January, using the themes above as a guide- and tag it with #janphotoaday.

This month i'll be preparing for and exhibiting at Top Drawer in London- so I thought it would be an interesting month to do the project.

Click here to see photo 01 "you" and photo 02 "breakfast" as well as following me on twitter or if you have an iPhone find me on instagram (I'm nikkimcwilliams) to keep up with my daily photos!

+++UPDATE+++
I've created a Flickr Set to keep all of my Photo a Day pics together. Here it is!
