Movies & Photos

So I decided it would be wise to play with Photoshop some more instead of just sticking to what I already knew - the simple things. So today I have watched: Meet Dave, Swing Vote, and My Fair Lady. I thought 'Meet Dave' was so adorable and humorous, pretty clever to I might say. Swing Vote was cute moved a little slow and made me cry, but nonetheless, cute. My Fair Lady has always been one of my favorites, and I could watch it over and over and over again. So my day has been spent watching movies not including the catch of of the DVR - and the whole time I have been sitting here editing photos in Photoshop - LOVE IT!

The more I learn the more there is to learn! So after hours and hours of tutorials I think I can stop for the evening and give my eyes a rest {not to mention my poor brain that I have been packing information into!}, here are a couple of my favorites that I have done for my boss and his wife of their little boys. I have a lot more left to do - but I haven't forgotten about them. They aren't perfect or the best in the world, but I am learning and loving it and that is what matters.







My first time using texture....



Have a wonderful Monday tomorrow! Do you know why you should wash your vegetables? I'll discuss it tomorrow! Off to watch "Breakfast at Tiffanys" eat some dinner and go to bed.

I've Been Tagged

1. 10 years ago:
I was 14 years old. I had just started competing in Precision Air Rifle and was a freshman in High school, and eager to get my drivers permit.
2. 5 things on my to-do list today:

-Make a Personal Daily Schedule
-Do laundry and catbox
-Write a couple letters
-Go to Physical Therapy

3. Snacks I enjoy:
-Fresh fruit
-Hummus
-Ice
-Chips (Baked)

4. What I would do if I were suddenly made a billionaire:
First I would give back to the Lord 10% as Tithing, and then I would give 10% in various philanthropic causes. 10% would be set aside for short-term savings, and another 10% would be set aside into long-term savings (retirement). Out of the remaining 60% I would buy/pay off/or update (depending upon when this sudden wealth came to me) a house, a car, emergency preparedness items/toys, short-term and long term food storage, and all other household items. Then I would invest a large portion of the remaining amount of money. Lastly I would go to some places I have always wanted to go, and do things I have always wanted to do. (I.e. travel to various parts of the world, and take classes to learn certain talents/skills)

Julia- I am stealing your idea as you have already typed it out and it is surprisingly close to mine.

-Sometimes I wish I could have pink hair (streaks)
-I am an avid list maker, I make them for everything
-I really like to cook and would like to take a couple of classes on it.
-I can't listen to a complete song, I usually listen to the verses and the chorus/refrain and then I have to change it it is usually about 2 mins into the song.
