Styling, Camera Practice and Photo Affects for the Dining Room Table

Happy Tuesday Sweet Friends

Are you enjoying your summer??

and for those that have them, are you

enjoying time doing things with your

 kiddos??

Hope so...as those are precious times! 

and when they grow up you will miss

those times sooo much but will have

some great memories to think on.

Along with working on our office/

computer room this week......

and Guess What??

I finally finished yesterday!!

Whoo Hoo.....

and.....I am seriously......

 Delighted and Tickled Pink!!

and will probably show yall

some pics next week!

(Hey that rhymes, so I am a

poet but didn't know it!  lol)

Sorry..........I digressed........

So..... along with working on the 

above I also did some Tray styling,

 camera shooting and Photo Affects.

I had my eye on this Tray (as I am

in love with this color) for quite

 awhile, saw it on the Kirklands 

website a number of times as I go

 there when an occasion arises for

 a gift for my daughter or daughter-

 in- love. Anyway, it wasn't super 

expensive but by the time you pay 

shipping and all that you know

 how it is......and I really do not

like to pay shipping charges.

Anyway,  when we went to the store 

to get the wall piece last weekend, 

that we took back this weekend, lol, 

they had the tray for half price @

 $6.99, so could not resist.......

I always say good things come

to those who wait..........lol

Decided it would be nice on our

 dining room table, for summer.

  I don't use a tablecloth in the

 summer, Do you?? unless we are

 using the table for dinner, as I just

 think it gives it a more casual 

undressed look...and a very nice 

change for the season.  This year

 I am not making a lot of summer

changes,  just staying with my

Spring look mostly,  and maybe

adding or subtracting a few

things here or there.

This was the first vignette and

these are all the pictures from

that.............styling a tray is
really not that hard,  you just
have to keep trying different
things until you come up
with something you really
like......

With Posterized Affect

When I was in my late 20's, I had a friend
 who could do all sorts of neat things.......
she shaker shingled her kitchen wall, grew 
all sorts of veggies, macrame'd, made her
own curtains and on and on I could go.

Anyway, I was so impressed with all
her capabilities and asked her how in
 the world did you learn to do all these
things and her answer was:

"Just by trying it.... you will be
 surprised at what you can do if
 you just try it!"

So I took her advice......and guess

what......she was so right!

That was almost 40 yrs. ago and since

then I have made and done all sorts of

things, that I am quite pleased and

delighted about and I am thankful

I met her, as that lil tad of advice

has taken me a long happy way!!

With Omni and Lens Flare Affects

Hope you will come back on Thursday

for part 2,  and see the other vignettes
 and the one I ended up with 
for the Summer!

Thanks for popppin in........

hope you enjoyed yourself.

Have a Truly Blessed Week,

Nellie
