Tuesday, May 19, 2009 By Leave a Comment

4 years and 2 days ago, I was scheduled to go into the hospital to deliver my 5th baby. Our baby (we never found out the sex of the baby before hand) was to be the 7th family member born on a Tuesday. I know it’s silly, but CandyMan and I really enjoyed the fact [...]

This week’s I ? Faces challenge was difficult for me, to tell you the truth. How in the world am I supposed to pick my best face picture of all time? I thought about posting one of the pictures that has won in the past, but couldn’t get excited about any of them. I kept [...]

Fix-It Friday #13–Little Beauty

Friday, May 15, 2009 By Leave a Comment

It’s time for another Fix-It Friday at I Heart Faces. I love editing pictures, and it’s always so fulfilling to see the changes (and hopefully improvements) that I can make to problem shots. Today’s shot is Angie from I Heart Faces’ daughter Weslea (such a beauty!). Problems: Weslea is underexposed, the background is severely blown [...]

Wednesday, May 13, 2009 By Leave a Comment

When CandyMan took Twizzler on his first Father-Son campout, when Twiz was about a year old, I thought it was ridiculous that the yearly church campout was planned for the Friday and Saturday before Mother’s Day…..but 7 years later, I find that Mother’s Day weekend (all of it!) is something I really look forward to.
