Creativity

I should be editing and resizing photos but I didn't want too, lol...I wanted to play! I was actually going through my favorite digi scrap blogs and ended up at Ali Edwards blog...She had a Tuesday Tutorial by Katie Pertiet on Photo Mask...I thought I'd give it a go and above is what I came up with...Thank you Katie it was an excellant tutorial and something I have been trying to figure out how to do...

The paper is blending paper by Taylormade, Film mask is by Katie Pertiet, Creativity word art is by Jodie McNally, Date stamps are by Scarletheels.

YeeHAW!

Oh How I LOVE my BOYS when they are cleaned up!!!

This is my littlest one and when he gives me this smile I melt....Sigh!

Just as Daddy was walking out the door I asked for a photo!!

They gave me one, YEA!!

They actually gave me several goofy ones too, lol...

Delicious!

Roses and Wild Turkeys

We've been making records with the Heat here in our area...Temperatures have been running in the 100's (F.) for the past week or two and it's starting to effect everything...

My roses are crispy critters, ekk...

This morning I spotted Turkeys...I only had the Canon Powershot with me so excuse the Not so great photos...I did a double take with the Turkeys as there were babies, Sweet.

They aren't tiny babies but pretty good sized. It is so nice to see baby Turkeys...

I noticed they were panting from the heat too....

There were two grown female Turkeys and I saw 2 babies but there may have been more...The brush is a bit high and it was hard to see....We have at least two fawns running with the does but I still have not been able to get a photo of them...

We attended a wedding this weekend and I got some really nice photos of Michael and Fred before we left for the wedding...and I got some pretty good photos at the wedding too...So stay tuned...

Munchkin...

Malachi, Erica and Ray came over late in the afternoon on Fathers Day....Everyone had already left so we had Malachi to ourselves...he is getting so big and was in a really good mood!

The onesie reads...Tall (X'd out)...Short, Dark & Handsome, lol....

Was he posing for me or what? LOL....talk about a little HAM!!

How Precious is this...You can't help but GRIN!

Watch out Ladies he'll melt your heart!

We have a Super Model in the family...

Ms. Cheyanne was more than happy to accomodate me and my camera...

I was having a blast and she was too with all the attention!

Cheyanne with her Aunt Brianna....

Uh Oh here we go.....
I decided to call this her "Ugly" face, lol...She loves making it! ARGH!! And it's so darn cute you can't help but laugh when she makes it!!

Look at these...aren't they just adorable...I think they are known as "Crocs"? I loved the little hearts and of course they are GREEN!!

She's got her dancing shoes on...That is Aunt Amy giving her a helping hand!

You GO GIRL!!

She's a dancing fool...

Such Big BROWN eyes...

She took a break from dancing to play with Grandpa Frankie!

She's such a Precious little one!

I am so glad Andy brought her over on Fathers day!

Thank you Andy :o)

I'm hoping he'll bring her more often as I sure had fun taking photos...It's nice when you have a little one that likes to have their photo taken...

Helen Sings....

Hallelujah!

My friend Helen has recently started singing at her Church in the Choir...But not sure if you would call it a Choir as it was more of a band and it was pretty sweet!

I couldn't make it a couple of weekends ago when she sang Solo but I came this Sunday with the Video camera and had fun making a short clip. I didn't talk to Helen and she didn't know I had been there until I sent her a text message, lol...The video is short too but I wanted to save my Memory card in case she did a solo...so Maybe next time it will be a longer clip Helen!! I am so PROUD of you...you were wonderful!! LA LA LA......LAAAaaaaaa

Great job Helen and I enjoyed the service....

A tad bit different then what I am used to but it was nice, thanks for the invite and maybe Fred and I will come visit soon!! He watched the video and thought you were great and said he would like to go check it out...YEA! Michael has watched and watched the video too and is very upset that he didn't go with me as he wants to see you sing too...

Hugs to you!!

Life is Good at the Beach...

Another challenge at JessicaSprague.com...Didn't know if I was going to have time to do the challenge today which was Black/White (or neutral color) with 1 colored item...I thought about what I could do all day but when I sat down tonight I didn't have a clue...I used a free kit that Jessica Sprague gave away a while ago called "ThankyaKindly" and a Word art brush by KPertiet and it all kind of fell into place...I liked it!

I also received an email from Jodie with Jodie McNally Designs and I won her get inspired Challenge on her blog with my patriotic ribbon wind sock...SWEET!! So I'll get to do some shopping at her store at Oscraps.com...I also see Oscraps has a bunch of freebies for customer appreciation while they got things straightened out with their server, which I thought was nice, thank you ladies!

I have run out of time tonight so no new photos...I did see a snake in the flower bed tonight but no photos...it was not a dangerous snake and I spent a good amount of time looking for it to get a photo but just couldn't find it, sigh!! I also watched some storms build up to the North of us. They were headed our way when they fizzled out. We did get one or two sprinkles of rain, sigh! We really need some rain :o(

A good friend (Shirley) lost her Mother this week and I would like y'all to keep Ms. Shirley and her family in your prayers while they get through this difficult time...Love you Shirley and big HUGs coming your way!

We have a busy weekend ahead but I hope to get the rest of the Father's Day photos posted...
