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.
