My goal ..

I am starting to really get interested in Photography more and more. Recently my husband dug out an old 35 mm camera that he got for his 22nd birthday from his uncle. He bought it at a garage sale for $5 bucks ..back in the day. When I saw it .. my jaw dropped. It comes with a mega super lens ..that's HUGE and ..gorgeous! It started to really get me thinking about it. My goal is to get some film for this camera and play with it ..and see the difference between the two cameras! We have been so spoiled with the modern technology and the instant gratification. Check out this beast .. it's pretty neat!









It has the two different size lenses. The one that it came with, and the other big one. The little lens has a magnification of 30 feet, and the bigger one goes 100 feet. It's going to be a lot of fun playing with the settings. The only problem is (and this is where we are spoiled) I won't be able to see the pictures I took, until I can get the film developed. So that should be really interesting. I'm pretty excited.

Hobby Lobby

My love, my enjoyment, my passion, my hobby! Photoshop! I have been designing for about 3 years now. I started in December of 2007. It has been a long road and lots of learning and practice. I think I have come a long way!

So here is my creations. ENJOY!

I have permission from the children's parents on these to post them on here!

So here it goes ..

Ready for spring?

Took some pictures of my little girl today ..

Some new layouts I've done ..

And this one I did .. I am so proud of ..

My inspiration ..

I think .. no .. I KNOW .. that my inspiration is .. my KIDS!

They make my everyday worth living. I love seeing their bright shining faces, laughing and smiling with me. I know I get mad at them sometimes and they really do bad things .. but when they smile at me and give me kisses and hugs ..it's like everything is forgiven.

Last night, I was looking at Gracie and I really lost it. I was in tears. I said to myself I need to stop ..I really need to start taking care of myself. I want to see this beautiful girl grow up.

I am really lucky and so blessed that they are in my life. When I was younger, I thought for sure that there is little chance that I was ever going to have kids ..and now I have 3.

I just want to make them happy, and I am going to try my best to make sure they have a good life.
