Some fellow 07.31.09 Friday-Fixer-Upper's:


Head on over to:

AJ's blog Endless Light Creations to see a *truly* beautiful edit on this image!! I just love it so much that I have to link there so others can see how great of a job she did!

I also really like Tiffany's edit here on her June Makes Six blog. She did a wonderful job and it really does look like an old time photo and something you'd see in a 'history of our town' book or something from like the 1800's.

We shot a Peacock.

Not like that, you sillies... with our cameras! Unfortunately, he was shy and was running away up the hill from everybody. So we weren't able to take too good of pictures. My husband got a better one than I did and I really like his (he was ducking his head in mine *lol*). The peacock also had his his feathers down, so we weren't able to see them all spread out. He was still pretty though.
