Before {SOOC} & After {EDITED}

I was taking some photos of my baby girl this morning while she was laying on the bed smiling at the curtains (her new best friend!). I pulled the curtains back and raised the blinds because the bed is right beside the window, so this let some really awesome natural light in. Natural light is beautiful and helps to create some great catch lights in eyes!

Anyway.. I'm sitting here editing some photos while my kiddos are asleep and wanted to share a before and after of one of them. Seeing as how I don't share photos of my family on the internet, I cropped the top part of her out. You can still get the general idea of how the editing went though. I wish you could see how pretty her eyes turned out in the photo; maybe another day, I can crop just her eyes...

I love comments ;)

Winter 2008

A photo I took earlier today while we were leaving our road and heading to town.

Much better!

Found a layout that I like a lot. Still have a few kinks to work out (fixing links at the top & adding my blog roll back, for example). Will do that in a bit. Plan on sharing a few photos, too.

A little better...

I don't LOVE the new layout and how things are arranged, but it's better than the messed up version that I made it a few days ago. So this will have to work until I'm able to customize it how I really like.

Well...

I was trying to put a new background on here and nose at how it would look, and accidentally saved instead of hitting preview. Sooooooooooooo............ it's really messed up & I'm hoping I didnt lose all of my blog comments AGAIN. Please give me time to fix it {or try my best, anyway}. Thanks!

Nicholas Yancy Nischan Foundation

Nicholas Nischan - 1995-2008

Nicholas Yancy Nischan, born May 22, 1995, finished his race and received his reward on Saturday, Nov. 29, 2008, after a 61/2-year battle with cancer.

....

In honor of Nick and in lieu of flowers, the family prefers memorial donations to the Nicholas Yancy Nischan Foundation be sent to First Church of Christ, 287 Pomeroy St., Grayson, KY 41143. These funds will be divided between several ministries that are special to the Nischan family. In addition, a portion of these memorial donations will be used to establish a literacy outreach program.

You can also help if you shop online. The First Church of Christ in Grayson, which is where donations can be sent, was just added to GoodShop and GoodSearch. Go to GoodShop.com and follow the tutorial listed below (same concept applies if you go to GoodSearch).
