Birthdays and ballerinas!!

A few from our busy weekend...we celebrated Dylan's 3rd birthday and also had Emily's 1st dance recital.

I know I haven't updated on my mom recently. She is doing great and the docs say that her chemo is working good. She has been on it for quite a while now and has only recently started having some mild side effects. She has been a super-trooper in her treatment, and I am sooooo incredibly proud of her. Keep going mom. Love you!!



198...my new remote!!!


199.
An accomplishment for me. I have had a bad habit of biting my nails since I was a kid. I think I have finally kicked the habit.


200.
Wild blackberries from my yard, though my husband says they are "poison berries." When I get enough, I am going to make a cobbler with them. I'll make sure he takes the first bite...lol!!


201.
Rainy days and Mondays.


And a couple random shots.


Wait for it....wait for it....

I was lucky enough to capture this lightening strike in yesterday's storm. I love thunderstorms, though the storms here in NC are nothing like they are in OK. "Tuck and run!!"


Got this one of the moon a few nights ago.

Soooo behind

I haven't taken a 365 in such a long time. I have been sick, AGAIN!!! UGH! I'm sick of being SICK!!! Anyway, I am posting these "outtakes" from the painted portraits to try to catch up a little. As of today I am feeling a lot better, so I hope to get back on track.

Teaser trailer for New Moon.

In case any of you haven't seen this yet......

Painted portraits.

These are not the painted portraits...just some I liked.

I have been trying to finish watching my Photoshop Crash Course video, made by my mentor, Michael Andrew. In it, he shows how to do painted portraits in PS. These are my first attempts at the technique.

Before...SOOC.

This was a 365 of me and Sam on the bus at the zoo.
