What's Up?

I have been missing you all so much. I actually have been mentally writing all kinds of posts...photographing my kitchen adventures, etc...but without the time to post about it all. In fact, I have to tell you that there will certainly be some extended interruptions to my blogging between now and back-to-school time-ish. I will try, even if I cannot get any actual "photography" up here, to stop in from time to time to say hello.

For those of you who are not following my every step on facebook (ha!) I did manage to enter PW's most recent photography contest, entitled "BROTHERS". I figured I'd have a load of content to work with...and I do, but alas, it takes a bit of time to do all that fun stuff, so I only had a short time one day. Here is what I came up with:

As I am viewing this one through Blogger, I see some "stuff" that I don't like. 

My older son looks like he has a rash. 

Great. 

Perhaps I should have taken another minute to clean that one up more thoroughly. Oh well. I am what I am and right now, that's b-u-s-y!

And yes, to my loyal photog buddies who will ask, I did run noise reduction. :P



Here is entry number 2........................

Excuse my bias, but I love how this one turned out! I believe this was a texture from Emily Powers, plus some mad photoshopping (It's TOTALLY a verb, I swear!) from yours truly.




In other news, The Princess tried to do me in emotionally last week:

I do not recall losing teeth being part of our deal. In fact, I am pretty sure I have forbidden this whole growing up thing altogether.  *sigh*  But she sure looks cute with her new little gap! :)

What you are seeing here are BEFORE pictures. I have not gotten around to the AFTERS. I know, I know.






I do have a couple of recipes for you, so I will TRY to get them up here, but I make no promises.  :)
