Just awesome.

I got a new computer for Christmas, and that means I upgraded from Photoshop Elements 3 to Photoshop Elements 9. Oh my gosh- it is awesome. I had some time to play with it today and can't believe the magic it can work with just the touch of a few buttons. My favorite new trick? The Panorama Stitching feature. Check it out!

AFTER:

How cool! Even cooler, is that these big letters at Disney's California Adventure in California are going to be removed forever very soon for a giant update of the park. I am so glad I have this picture as a reminder, I love California!

I see lots of picture taking in my future with this panorama feature in mind, imagine the possibilities!

Happy New Year!

Cardinal

I can't help but grab my camera when I see a cardinal in our tree. They are so pretty! This one comes by just about every day ( I think it is the same one every day but who knows! )

goodbye 2010!

2010 has been a great year. Filled with trips to Disneyland, Chicago, Indianapolis, California and St. Louis. Visits with faraway friends and family and finally feeling "at home" in Illinois ( though my heart will always belong in California! ) Tyler turned Cody turned 12 ( both kids in the double digits! ) one in 5th grade one in 7th. Fun in both the sun and the snow. The Junior High track team for Cody, Baseball and Flag Football for Tyler.

I can't wait to see what 2011 brings!

Baby, it's cold outside!

Winter Icicles

DayNight

Christmas craft!

The boys, my mom and I made these guys- I love how they turned out!!
