Christmas Digital Layout

I was bored today, so I added my new memory card to my computer and did a digital (digi) layout. It's nothing fancy, just plain and simple. I did some adjustment to the photo in Adobe and then didn't like what I had done so I used the original photo, lol...I was hoping with 4 GB of memory my computer might run the digi program a bit faster but it's working the same as with 3 GB...ah well it works better than with just 2 GB...

I'm off to a new dentist to take them my insurance card and then I have to wait until January 2nd to see what he can do about the crown that another dentist put in a year ago that is still bothering me after 3 root canals, ugh!! There is an old saying "If it ain't broke don't fix it"!!

Playing with Adobe and Pet eyes

Okay I had a bit of a break tonight and was able to search on the internet on how to fix pet eye in Adobe, Wow!! I have always had and used Paint Shop Pro to do my photos and it has a pet eye fix on it. But it always made the pets eye look fake and unreal...But with adobe you have to play around a bit to fix it but it looks sooo much more realistic...All the animals are really bad with pet eye and the flash and tonight I worked on a photo I had taken of Jake. I was stunned at how well it came out....It looks sooo sweet!! I think I just might like Adobe photoshop, LOL...You know it's hard to teach an old dog new tricks but I try to remain open to change!! Now to try photos with the Cat and his pet eye, UGH!!

A slideshow of Michaels Christmas Photos ~ UGH!

Thank you Aunt Karen!!

Santa made a stop at our House!!

Michael with the Camera Santa brought him, Wow!!

He has taken lots of photos of butts and boobs this morning, LOL...They've been deleted!! I'll post a blog later with some of his decent photos, LOL...

Fred checking out his stocking stuffers with help from Jake!!

Santa brought Michael lots of "Hot Wheels" racing tracks!

Aunt Karen got Michael a Leap Frog Click Start, too SWEET!!

Michael had a blast this morning and loves all his Santa items and his other gifts too!!

First thing he did was to check to make sure Santa ate the cookies and drank the juice we left out for him..."Momma Santa ate the cookies and drank ALL the juice" "YEA"!

Then because of the heavy frost on the ground he said "See I told you it would snow!", LOL...poor kid thinks frost is snow. Wait until he sees the real white stuff!! He was actually worried Santa wouldn't be able to make it as we had no snow on the ground. I told him Santa had special reindeer and a special sleigh for when there was No snow!!

My husband was good to me this year, bless his heart!

I received Adobe Photoshop Element 6 and Premiere Elements 4, another memory card (for the computer and not my brain, lol) and some of my favorite perfume (Realities)...

We had a great Christmas and I need to head out to work on the easement for the electric on the property, Fred has been down there for sometime, Ekkk....

I hope y'all had a very Merry Christmas and I'm wishing everyone God's blessings on this special day!!

Christmas with the Inlaws

Today was Christmas with Fred's Family. Instead of the usual Turkey/Ham dinner we had a shrimp boil. I was actually Leary of it when they said what we were having for dinner but it was really good!! We all had a great day. It was a bit chilly but we just dressed warm.

Me, Michael and Fred.

My brother in law took this photo for us.

Michael with Jayden.

I so wanted to take Jayden home with us. Her and Michael got along so well and Jayden was so sweet and gentle. She was a friend of a family member and this is the first time we had met her. She just came in and climbed on my lap, I didn't have a clue as to who she was but fell in love with her. I introduced myself and asked her what her name was and who she belonged too, LOL...It was then suggested that Fred and I try for a little girl!! NOT!! I would prefer to adopt Jayden, LOL...She was an angel in disguise!

I actually took this photo the night before when Michael was filling up his pinata that Grammie had sent him for his birthday!

LOL...I love this photo...

Hard to believe my son is dressed like this and we are living in South Texas but it was a bit chilly today.

This is my sister in law, Debbie.

I loved this photo as the natural light was perfect!! Such a beautiful photo of her and had to show it off....Once in awhile I do get a decent shot of a human being, LOL.

This is Debbie's Husband Frankie, Freds brother. I am not sure exactly what or who he was trying to be today...Dallas Cowboy Santa? Beer commercial? Or a firefighter? LOL...He has a beautiful smile but hates the camera, can you tell....grrrrrr

My Father in Law has quiet a few Hay round bales stacked and the kids had a blast playing on them. Thank goodness no snakes were found and no one fell off either...I even got them to stop running, jumping and playing for a few photos!!

We almost forgot about the pinata and thank goodness some of the kids were still around when we remembered...Michael taking a good whack at it but Zeke was the one who broke it open!!

That was pretty much our day in a nutshell....Lots of family, friends, fun, food, and loads of laughter!!

~Merry Christmas~
