I’m on roll….it’s not a fluke l’ve used the ‘Snipping Tool’ again…what a great tool!

I’ve used it on this newspaper article from Coventry Telegraph. I was the official photographer for Chamber of Commerce, Business is Good for Women, House of Commons event!

I have discovered a great ‘Snipping tool’ which is great for blogs! On your PC go to ‘All programs’ then ‘Accessories’ and there it is….simple!  A business friend of mine, kindly told me about it – many thanks Gill!  http://whoseshoes.wordpress.com/

I have used the ‘Snipping tool’ on this Enniscorthy Guardian newspaper article about The Ros Tapestry! l was the official photographer earlier in the year for the launch of the The Ros Tapestry centerpiece ‘ The Marriage of William Marshall and Isabel de Clare’ which was launched at Newtownbarry House &  Gardens in Bunclody (see my previous blogs).

I have been fortunate to be the official photographer for Chamber of Commerce, Business is Good for Women, House of Commons event!

The group of VIP women told MP’s Margot James and Mark Pawsey of business issues on a visit to The House of Commons on 28th June 2012.
