Salt Lake

We just got back from the great city of salt last night. It was a long, tiring visit, but I'm glad we went, and I'm sad to have left. This may have been one of the only times I was truly sad to leave. I was grateful for the help I received and am so thankful to have such a loving and caring family. Thank you guys, from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for taking care of 2 sick babies ;)

Here are a few pictures of the week:

Couldn't Help It

I was going through some pictures today to try to decide what to do next with scrapbook pages. I have a friend that is selling some awesome onesies+headbands+other great creative things in her Etsy store. Anyway, she needed a head model for her beautiful headbands she's going to be putting out soon, and since E seems to cooperate with stuff on her head, she got to do it! I took some pictures of her a couple days ago, but I don't have the heart to finish the pictures with her feeling so sick, so it's on hold. Since it's on hold, I decided to do a little light play with some of them. This is what I did:




This one is my all time favorite. Look at that EYE!


Love this one, too :) So simple


I hadn't edited this one, but it makes me smile. She was done posing for me, so in her fit of tantrum, she turns her arms inward, twists them and pushes down and yells. Love it!



OK, these aren't my pride and joy, but it's close- I was able to clear up some underwater pictures from Hawaii. I liked this one cause of the coral. Who knew coral talked?! I miss that stuff...


Like that pic? Yeah, I took it ;)

another one

I got to play with Photoshop a bit more yesterday while E was sleeping in between coughing and crying. I'm going through some lessons on teaching me different design layouts, etc. and on this particular scrapbooking page I had a bit of a difficult time with it. I hope it turned out OK to other people's eyes. I'm still not quite sure how I feel about it- so I saved it in my files so I could come back in a few days and tweak it if I so choose. Anyway, enjoy!

snow day done!

OK, I got the other page done of the snow day pictures- now onto something else...like Hawaii, or Mexico, or Alaska, or Disneyland, or Las Vegas, or Sand Diego, or ....man, I have a lot of things to do!!



*I saw some things that needed to be done once I posed this one, so I redid them as well and reposted, sorry if you get duplicate emails to those that I email this to. :)

Show And Tell

I played with my photoshop shtuff while we watched Night at the Museum 14 and made a scrapbook page out of the fun snow pictures I took a few days ago. I know they aren't NEW pictures, but you have to give me time to find something new and different to take pictures of! hahaha anyway, I thought I'd share with you what I've done!

I sure hope I get faster at this, because at this rate, I might finish pages when I'm 234.51 years old!!

*I made some minor alterations to this one from yesterday
