Merry Christmas

Adorable

Five

This used the November 2008 kit from Scraptivity.

Loved the stamps from tin box creations, my little guy on his fifth birthday.

My Girl

This was done with the November kit from Scraptivity.

I love the way it turned out. I had this vision in my head, and it translated wonderfully to the page.

A little Christmas Spirit

My Little Brownie

I deliberately made the scan dark so that the kids cannot be seen.

My Fall Walk

I went for a walk today at noon, a little cool, but loved the colors out there. Notice that there is no snow out (YET). LOL

Remembrance Day

Fall Fun 2008

This is done using Scraptivities October kit of the month and Scrap Whispers challenge to use fall in the title.

For the Love of a Rose

I love roses, totally utterly am in love with roses. Give me a rose garden and I am in heaven. Growers Direct was giving away roses on Halloween, so the kids got this one. It opened so wonderfully.

Halloween

DD was Hannah Montana at last nights Halloween Party.

I snapped this, everything is technically wrong with it, but I kind of liked it.

Scrap Whispers Tic Tac Toe

Where is Maple?

Among the Webkinz that is where.

Sunday morning walk

I tried to go early in the morning to get the right light, but it brightened up way to fast.

I fell in love this weekend

I had a day where I could play as much as I wanted.

I shot in manual almost exclusively even played with manual focus. Somehow things are just really clicking for me right now. Maybe because I am shooting more right now.

Did my pictures for the fair yesterday. Got them all ready. I love some of the ones I picked and do not love a couple of them. I could not get a sharp portrait and I know that will hurt me.

So in love with my camera. The focus on the item and the blurred background worked, I loved it.
