Civil War Dress

Hello y'all! I have been so busy lately. Sorry that I haven't been posting. I do have some posts planned. Olivia and I wanted to try the Paper Mama's No Heat Curls. It
 turned out very nicely, and then I decided that I wanted to take Olivia's picture while she was in this old civil war era dress that a lady in our church gave us. This dress is GORGEOUS! Unfortunately, it is way to tight on me, I can't even zip it up. It was hard enough for Olivia (Obviously, it was made for a very petite person). So, I got her all dressed and out we went.

At first, she wasn't sure if she would like modeling for me, but it didn't take long for her to get into it. 

My favorites are the ones with her twirling. 

Have a great day!

Monumental

Hello ya'll! I hope that your week is going well. I wanted to share with you a movie called MONUMENTAL starring Kirk Cameron (Growing Pains ;). This movie is about a man seeking to find the spiritual heritage of our country through our different monuments. Monuments are sooooooo important. 1 Samuel 7:12 says, "Then Samuel took a stone and set it up between Mizpah and Shen, and called its name Ebenezer, saying, “Thus far the Lord has helped us.” Samuel put up a monument! Monuments are placed so that future generations will not forget significant events that happened in the past. Today, very little emphasis is put on monuments. But hopefully, this movie will change your mind. Here are two videos for you to watch.

P.S. Happy Valentines Day (Belated)! 

Emma Jean

This one word says so much about her: crazy! She is a pop-corn eating, back sleeping, crazy bearded dog! She has a mind (and personality) all her own. When she wants you to play with her, she will wrap her paws around one of your legs and hold on until you show her attention! That being said, she is really gentle, some how she knows that she can't hurt little kids, no matter what they are doing to her. They could be swinging her around by the collar (This has happened) and she will do nothing! Last week I decided to work with my zoom lens. I was able to capture some pretty good shots of EJ. 

She LOVES her ball! Have a good Sabbath!

Cooking Fun!!!

Last saturday the Vestal girls and the Muse girls teamed up to have a cooking bonanza. We were making meals for a couple of church families that just had babies. We made chili, cornbread, seven-layer salad, bar cookies, and oatmeal for their breakfasts. These pictures will show some of the fun we had!

This is Jessie's and Olivia's cornbread batter!

Me and Jessie could not stop laughing !!!

These are veggies that Lenyer and Brittany cut up for the salad!

Finally we got a non-messed-up picture of me and Jessie!!!!!

(P.S. There is flour all on my cheeks!!)

Edit Me Challenge

This week, Ashley Sisk is the guest judge for the Edit Me Challenge. I have never participated before, but this weeks picture was so cute, I couldn't resist. First, the original picture taken by Ashley:

Isn't he cute? And now, my edit:

This photo didn't really need any adjustments, so I decided to just play with it in PSE. I first applied AmaPad's Florida action with the sweet light, cool light, and creamy glow all on. I honestly don't remember what the opacity's were. Then, I ran the  Pioneer Woman's Bring Out the Eyes action and Little Bee action. I am so sorry, but can't remember who I got that last action from, I think that it was the first one that I ever downloaded. I turned the Honey Haze layer's opacity down to 24%. Then I ran the smart blur filter and converted everything to black and white. Lastly, I erased the black and white on the overalls. It was really simple and I had lots of fun! I plan to post again soon, so stay tuned!
