Look how Sophie has grown . . .

I think she is equal to a 16 year old girl right now - a bit of attitude, but learning the rules and LOTS of energy. She is glued to me day in and out. She sleeps tucked up against my leg at night (graduated from wrapped around my head) and during the day on my ebay photography boards. So now there is cat hair all over the velvet! She adores Jonah and has been very successful at prompting him to play and be silly with her. She probably makes him feel young again!

Oh yeah - I HAD to scrap that photograph!

Photograph of Bradley

I took this today, for a challenge and while I didn't think it quite fit the challenge - I do like it! I find it interesting . . .

Michelle Black Actions

Oh my goodness, I think I'm in love . . . with these actions!! I really like the dark, moody look of some of them. While others give a light, airy sort of feel to the photos. There are several vintage options and I really, really like the variety of black and white actions too!

Here are a couple photographs using funky, one of the black and white actions and dramatic:

New Blog Header

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this photograph. I took it while photographing Lisa's kids. I think it would make a great canvas print.

More Digital Pages

So I spent a portion of yesterday doing some more layouts. I got a couple new kits from Little Dreamer Designs and even made a scrapbook page for my new Jill-E camera bag already!

My Christmas Tree

A couple shots of my patriotic Christmas tree:

Bradley is Arting!

He is painting a self-portrait of himself for his Dad for Christmas. I printed a sketch of him on canvas and suggested he use my NEW box of pastels, but no - he wants to sketch and paint himself!

A work in progress:

Photos of the Boys Together

Yesterday, I tried to get some photographs of the boys together. It was getting late in the day and I couldn't get my 50mm to work (taken care - a DUH moment - no further explanation needed). Needless to say, I'm not happy with them but today it is raining. Hopefully next week, we can get some better shots.

POTD Blog for 2008

I'm gearing up for 2008 . . . those who know me well, realize that the fact that I've done anything in prep for 2008 is a miracle in itself!

I've decided to take on a POTD challenge which stands for Photo of The Day. In this case, it is designed to function as a Photo of The Week event instead - more my speed!

Check out the blog, if you want to play along - create your own blog or leave a photo on the comment block each week.
