No Specific Purpose

I felt like I have avoided this blog like the plague. Mainly because I created it with a purpose to embrace my passion for photography, but since I have moved to Florida I have seemed to have temporarily lost it. So I have decided that instead of pressuring myself to do a certain thing with this blog I am just going to put whatever I feel like in here.You aren't going to sit here and read about me whine about my life or anything I am just going  to put whatever fun things, and random thoughts, pictures, recipes whatever. 

So with that said how about I share with you some pictures of some awesome cookies I made along with the recipe. :-)

My Summer in Review

It's been a loooong time since I did an iheartfaces challenge!!

What can I say about my "Summer in Review"...

Well first of all I will start out by telling you this picture is 100% NOT  photo-shopped!!

It's kind of an odd picture don't you think? lol I chose this single picture out of all my pictures because it best describes my summer in review. This picture was taken during my husband and mine's trip to San Antonio, TX, which was one of the happiest memories I have of our summer, this picture more specifically was taken at the Mirror Maze. It is a maze with mirrors all around confusing and puzzling all those that enter while constantly changing colors I just captured this one when the lights were green.

I also chose the above  picture because I think it best describes the feelings we are having at the end of our summer since we moved to FL, which is hopefully soon to get better :-]

This picture is just one other I couldn't resist to share of the entrance to a fireworks stand we went to for the fourth of July. :-)

So now that you have seen my summer in review how about you click on the link and check out how some other people spent there summer over at:

Long Time No See

Oh hey! It has been SO long since I have been on here in fact it has been a long time since I have had internet period. As you can see we have made it safely to our new home in the Orlando area.

 I haven't taken many pictures since we got here, since there has been so many other things on our plate, along with the fact that Florida seems to hate us, it's a long story and maybe one day I will tell it but seriously I don't think we have ever  experienced such bad luck in one single place ever. haha

As soon as I am caught up with things on my end I will be back to doing my I heart faces photos, I have missed doing that.

Actually...

This will probably be the real last post you see from me for a while until we have things settled in our new place. I dropped by to show off some digital artwork I completed tonight! It has been a long time since I have done any and it felt good to get this done since I have been feeling a little blah lately...

Heads Up

First of all I would like to say that I hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July weekend :-)

taken not too far from our home

I would like you all to also know that I will not be updating this blogger for probably about a month at the worse, due to the fact that my husband and I are getting ready to move to Florida here in the next couple of weeks. So we are currently really busy trying to prepare ouseleves fro the move ahead. But definitely expect to see a few pics once we get settled in our new home.

“Pets” I ♥ Leila err...Faces Challenge :-)

 Anyone that really knows me knows I adore my little chihuahua, Leila. I never thought I would ever own one but I sure fell in love with her when I first saw her almost a year ago she was SO small (yeah that's her hours old) but I digress...here is what everyone is really here to see my I ♥ faces entry and here it is:

When I was going through the pictures I took of her earlier today I came across this one planning not to use it at all because she had closed her eyes when my husband saw it he was like "You need to use that one it really looks like she has a HUGE smile on her face!" and after looking at it a bit longer I could totally see the sweet super happy smile with the eyes closed being a part of her expression. So it was then decided this was the one to use.

I hope you enjoy it!

:-)

My 1st Fix-it-Friday

Here it is my first "Fix it Friday" from iheartfaces. Since this is my first one I must say I got really caught up with what I was doing before I realized how I was doing it but I will try my very best to recall how I got this this final image using CS4

Before:

After:

image provided by: Susan Keller for iheartfaces Fix It Friday

Well first of all I cropped out the undesirables (ie: the electrical box and the light pole) so that the focus would just be on the young boy. 

Next I used one of my favorite actions that I got from a free demo over at Totally Rad! called Boutwell Magic Glasses. 

From here this is where things start to get a little blurry...

I have a collection of free actions from deviantART I started clicking my different options till I found one I liked and from what I remember it was from this set right here and I believe it was number 5 that I used...

Form there I did a bit of tweaking to levels and added a tiny touch of vibrancy to the image. Oh a burned the edges a touch.

and I believe that was how I got to the  after image in today's Fix it Friday.
