My first mosaic

Created with fd's Flickr Toys.

Not spectacular - just some pictures I took at the family reunion nearly a month ago.

So I'm behind on both the whole mosaic movement, and the reunion pictures.

Two for two!

Picture of the Day, take two.

Here is my second attempt at photographing Anna Marie's cocoon. I followed Amanda's suggestions: turn off the flash, take off the top, take it outside, and use the macro setting.

I think it turned out much better, except I didn't realize until now that the paint on the porch was the same color as the cocoon.

Oops.

Anyway.

I had to go with mom this afternoon to take care of some stuff, and after we finished we hit Target. Look what I found in the Dollar spot!



I've been doing tons more cardmaking lately than I have scrapbooking. I suppose because it's on a smaller scale, and it's instant gratification.

Man, am I ever shallow.

Anyway.

I'm looking forward to working with these - they included the cards, and some cute embellishments!

(We also hit Payless. Jason needed some shoes, and, well, they were having BOGO, so I scored a pair for myself too. Funny thing is, I had no intention of buying shoes today - mom did, but she ended up not getting any. Go figure.)

Methinks that after I put little AM to bed tonight, I may have a date with some card making kits . . .

A picture a day

Keeps the Wookies away.

Or not.

(That's borrowed from the NaBloPoMo button.)

I have a "second quarter 2007" resolution - to improve my photography skills by taking a picture every day.

This one is of Anna Marie's critter container. There's a cocoon in the right-hand corner, and due to Amanda's mad research skillz, we know it will grow into a moth.

A little disappointing to a little girl who was hoping for a butterfly, but, we can't all be Monarchs.

Any critique will be greatly appreciated.
