Last night was my first class about using Photoshop…. I have had Photoshop Elements for about 2 years on my laptop but I don’t use it very much. Mainly because I haven’t taken the time to actually learn how to use it. So I thought this would be a great way to learn! I’ve always [...]

It would appear that I’ve been neglecting something, huh? Lots has happened around here. And yet, nothing has happened. Nothing blog-worthy, I mean. I’ve been on a roll with illnesses… starting with hurting my back and then some awful allergies, tummy issues, yada, yada, and when it lingered on and on, turns out I had [...]

I’ve been taking a photography class. This week our assignment was to keep certain variables the same, such as the shutter speed and the distance to object, as well as the lighting while changing the aperture setting to increase or decrease depth of field.

How in the world do you end up with a hole at the ankle? I mean, really. So random huh? What’s even worse… I pulled my pant leg up to look because when I reached down to scratch an itch on my leg, I felt a funky lump. It was a dryer sheet. Inside my [...]

We’re getting some snow! I really do think it’s beautiful. (Especially when it’s outside and I’m inside, looking out. If only I had a fireplace to be sitting by, life would be grand.) But, in all honesty…. I would rather we just go from cool fall days straight into spring and skip this whole “winter” [...]

I’ve been working on lots of things around here that I would like to sell in an Etsy shop. Things like these earrings: And these coasters: And these scarflettes: But, I am at a creative mental block and I really would like some suggestions. Here’s the problem: I can’t exactly list these things to sell [...]

Can you say YIKES!!!! I opened the front door the other night and found this girl had been busy building a web from the bottom of the wreath all the way across the width of the glass screen door and anchored to the bottom frame of the door. After my initial frightened bug dance, I [...]
