We were supposed to use cherries for the body but couldn't find any with the stems (which would have made up the tail). So we used old fashioned creme drops instead and just made it work for us ;)

Happy Anniversary!


Five and a half years - I love you!!!!!

Runaway Boat


Photobucket


We went driving around the other day and spotted a runaway boat at the lake close to where we live. The guy was standing on the dock pointing to his boat which had drifted away, so this guy turned his boat around and came to the rescue. We thought it was the funniest thing though. Oh, and yeah... he totally caught me taking pictures because he's looking straight at me in one of the snaps ~ oops!

SOOC Sunday ~ Tiny Toesies



Photobucket


SOOC

Photobucket

Ok, so ↑that photo↑ definitely falls under the "SUCKY STRAIT OUT OF CAMERA" category. I was just trying to get a quick shot of my daughter's little foot as she napped on the couch during a visit to my parents' today. I was finally able to paint her little toe nails for the first time earlier today and wanted to grab a photo so the memory would always stay alive. But, again, that shot just plain ol' stinks *lol*


EDIT

Photobucket

Here's how I ended up editing it. I wanted it to look kinda 'oldish.' I like the little bit of noise that is in the photo. Sometimes grain is my friend :) Anyway. I think I'll edit it a little bit more before I print it. I love textures so I'll probably push the old feeling.
