More fun from yesterday..........

*

Afternoon Dear Hearts,

*

Hope you are toasty warm wherever you live and love.

It was even colder here last night,  but we had nice

sunshine today, and it went to 50 degrees,  so I braved

the cold and went to the post office and Publix.

*

Didn't go till it went to 50 tho!! lol

Just returned from the store and am stuffing my face

with deli chicken breast slices and yummy wholegrain

bread,  and to top it off  Hot chocolate!  I bought

the dark chocolate and it tastes great but is sort of

a funny color,  kinda greyish I'd say,  so thought

to cure that problem I would just put whip cream

on top,  fat free,  of course!!  lol

*

Finally finished packing up all the decorations,

we still have to do the tree,  hopefully tonight.

*

My daughter is coming over cause something

is leaking on her car,  we are sure hoping it is

not a serious radiator leak or something,

Please Lord, just a hose or something simple

would be great!!

*

My pictures will probably look like they are

the same as yesterdays,  but if you look closely

there are changes.  Someone was remarking

on my creativity with the photos and that some

thing I have sort of been doing for the last 4 years,

since I started making my own greeting cards.

*

And I love, love, love the digital cameras cause

you can have your own photo shoot,  and take

pic after pic and not waste any film,  Fabulous!!

*

Also love photoshop because you can come

up with some pretty neat pics at times with

those affects.  Some are sort of strange and

different,  and not useable,  but sometimes you

just have to find the right affect for the right

picture,  and it is amazing.

*

Practice makes Perfect,  and I have to say

I have been practicing a lot more since I

have my blog!  So it is nice to have someone

to share them with even if they don't make

the cut for a card!!  lol

*

*

Ah,  went to change into my sweats,  they are so comfy cozy

and warm,  don't you just thank the Lord for Sweats.

I just love em',  when it is this cold sometimes I even sleep

in them,  then when I get up I am ready for the day and

don't have to get cold changing clothes, cause they don't

wrinkle,  how great is that!!

*

Did you notice I thru a Rooster in the mix!!

*

*

This affect is called Conte Crayone.

Sorta neat and different.

*

Well,  I am working on Baked Potato Soup for dinner

as I upload pics to my blog.  Hubby corrected me,  it is not

downloading it is uploading,  hey, all I care is that they are

loading, know what I mean!!

*

*

This affect is called "Chalk & Charcoal.

*

Got my first 5 ingredients cooking,  got this recipe

a few months back from Becky over at Holiday In

the Sun.  It is a very easy recipe, (I had to make

a low-fat version for hubby)  but it taste might good!

*

I am putting ham in instead of the bacon tonight,

cause I need to use it up before it goes bad.

*

*

This affect is called "Posterized",  it is one of my favorites.

*

Got my ham all chopped & ready,  next I will put away

my groceries.

*

*

This is gradient map.  Love how the wallpaper looks in this

one.  sorta neat.

*

Got the groceries put away, no, I'm not that fast just didn't

need to buy a lot this trip.

*

*

Thought you would get a kick out of this one,  it is called

"Chrome."   Kinda like modern art of something!!!

*

Table set, half the dishwasher emptied,  this is great,

it is like having an accountability partner!!  lol

and it makes the mundane so much more fun if you get

to write in between.  works for me!!

*

*

This is called craqelure.  It has sort of an old look to it

don't you think??

*

Finished the soup and it is yummy!!

Can hardly wait to dig in.

*

My Dee wee just arrived as well.

*

*

This is posterized again!

*

*

This is a normal picture.

*

Thought I would throw one in to throw you off track!! lol

*

*

This affect is called "Glass" like you are looking thru a glass

window I guess.

*

*

This is called "Reticulation"

*

We finished our soup,  and it was truly delicioso!!

*

*

I think this one is hysterical,

it is called " Plastic wrap"

Doesn't it look like you shrink wrapped

the lil platter!!

*

And last but not least!!

*

This is called "Stained glass".

*

Well,  hope you enjoyed my lil tour of affects

and tablescapes.  Believe it or not I have more.

Maybe I will do them Friday or Monday.

*

Thanks for visiting today.

Hope you have a warm snuggly evening

with your family!

*

We are sitting at the kitchen table talking

to our daughter as she is doing an online

chat for School.  It is not real involved thankfully.

*

Hopefully the problem with her car is not

serious,  hubby put some coolant and water in

and bought a new radiator cap,  so hope that

will fix the problem.

*

See ya tomorrow!

*

Blessings, Nellie
