Ok we peas love our KitchenAid mixers!!!! I love to bake, in fact my Father was a baker for almost 40 years, so I get it honest. When I get the urge I can throwdown in the kitchen. ( But it is all about getting the urge. ;-) )


This mixer is also notable to me because it is the first thing I ever purchased off of Ebay.

I have'nt been updating in a while because I have been so frustrated with my editing software PSE 4. I could not get the RAW plug-in to work for nothing!!! I downloaded Adobe CS2 and Lightroom to see if I would have any better luck with them and I have!!! This photo is a combo of this weeks theme and last week. This is a picture of my parents out on a date 50 years ago. The photo behind them to the left is a picture of my Grandparents, my Father's parents taken in 1918 right after they left Alabama and moved to Delaware. The photo to the right is my great-aunt Lexanna and I believe that photo was taken here in Detroit. As far as this weeks theme. One of the items that make my life easier is picture frames . I love having them all over the house,with pictures of people and places and stuff.

Ok first I wanna say that editing this picture made me a RAW convert. I took this picture in jpeg and when I was editing it I did not get the same results that I believe I would have gotten had I taken it in RAW. Ok another thing I love is scrapbooking and Saturday I had a scrapbook program at my job. It was really cool, and I had a lot of participation and interest. This is a page I made from the photos I took at the scrapbook program I had in January. Oh and I don't claim to be Donna Downey or Ali Edwards, I just have basic scraping skills and I like to share what I know with the community where I work.

This photo shows two things about me. I love the color pink and I love hot tea!!

I took this photo in early January, when my Sony was still brand new. I did not have my other two lenses yet so this was shot with the kit lense. Know that I have been reading and learning so much from you guys I can see the error of my ways. I did play with the color in pse 4 and I sharpened it twice.
Thanks for looking!!!!
