Let’s Hear it For the Boys! (I Heart Faces)

Monday, June 22, 2009 By Leave a Comment

This week’s theme over at I Heart Faces is BOYS! A very fitting theme for Father’s Day. I have found that there are some photo challenges that I know exactly which picture to use. Other times, I search through my picture folders until I find something acceptable. And then other times I don’t have anything [...]

When Animals Attack

Sunday, June 21, 2009 By Leave a Comment

A word from Lolli: This post was written by my husband, CandyMan. I haven’t seen him enjoying anything lately quite as much as tonight, when I suggested that he write today’s story in a blog post. Enjoy! When we were in college, we discovered a new show – “When Animals Attack.” It was the cheesiest [...]

I was at a double baby shower for two of my friends the other evening, and one of my good friends, Lis, was taking pictures of the gorgeous display of food (you know the kind that looks too good to eat?!). Lis was having a hard time getting the lighting just right, so she and [...]

It’s All Over but…..

Thursday, June 18, 2009 By Leave a Comment

It’s Thursday, and time for another Writer’s Workshop with MamaKat. I really liked MamaKat’s first prompt: 1.) Grab your current read. Let the book fall open to a random page and share two “teaser” sentences from that page, somewhere between lines 7 and 12. …..simply because tonight is book club night, and this month’s book [...]

You Capture. Emotions!

Thursday, June 18, 2009 By Leave a Comment

Thank you, I Should Be Folding Laundry–what a perfect You Capture theme for my week with the rented 24-70mm lens (which I have to ship back tomorrow). Sigh. It was nice while it lasted. And I certainly captured quite a bit of emotion. From wild to content to happy….. To grumpy and pouty and just [...]

Goin’ Buggy

Wednesday, June 17, 2009 By Leave a Comment

When you have four kids who have all attended the same elementary school, you tend to run into a few repeats. The same field trips, sometimes the same teachers, the same projects…and often the same presentations. Last week, I got to watch my 3rd performance of Goin’ Buggy. This time, Twizzler was the star. The [...]

I Heart Faces – Sepia (Kids)

Monday, June 15, 2009 By Leave a Comment

Let’s hear it for sepia! I love using sepia tones in my photo editing. I actually use it quite a bit. So it wasn’t too hard for me to find a picture or two to use for this week’s I Heart Faces sepia theme. To see more sepia toned photos, click on the button below. [...]
