Few New Tags

Back again so soon ? I know!! I actually been trying really hard to get back into tags and tutorials. I don't know how many are around these days to use them but, meh, I'll still give it a go. Facebook has taken over almost all  of everything now and I am honestly, pretty much Facebook illiterate still. I think I am in one or two groups for tags, I suppose one day I should look into that. Anyway, here are a few of the newest tags I have done.
