Learning Photoshop Elements 9

Today I sat down and decided to start teaching myself how to use Photoshop! I know, I know, I have a very loooong ways to go, but I am having a blast being silly with it! I am hoping to get the Florabella collections, maybe someday all of them to make my pictures really darling. I am really excited to do this! So if anyone has any suggestions on using Photoshop please feel free to let me know! I am open to anything that will help me with the program and making a cute picture amazing! This is a picture I did of my little girl on her Blessing day. Yes, I know it needs a lot of work! But we all have to start somewhere right?! I am hoping someday I will look at this post and laugh and see a huge difference in my editing skills! Thanks for reading!

Canon T2i

I have always been into photography! My husband talked me into exploring my desire for this hobby and we have been shopping for cameras. This camera seems to be one that everyone likes. My husband has an interest for Videography which I am guessing is why he all of a sudden said I can drop some cash on a camera and lighting set!
Well I didn't think I would be getting my camera until the weekend, but my hubby just texted me a picture of him holding our brand new baby (the Canon T2i). So I am excited that I get to start practicing taking pictures and working with the lessons and assignments my photography teacher Rob has given me! I am so excited to start posting pics! Yay!

Moose Tracks and Tater Stacks

My darling friend Sarah over at Moose Tracks and Tater Stacks has posted several yummy recipes on her blog! I have decided that I am going to give her recipes a try and I will make sure that I post about it each time I do! She has a really great recipe for Strawberry Lemonade Cupcakes that look truly amazing and I think I will be trying them this week! Baking is a challenge for me and I am so excited to drag Sarah along with me on my little journey of becoming domesticated!

Tutus and bows and dresses, OH MY!

I want to be able to come here and look at how far my crafting comes along. I strive everyday to improve and be a better me and take on challenges. As a child I was athletic and loved sports and I was extremely good at sports. Crafting wasn't really a thing I enjoyed a whole lot growing up. Now I love to craft and decorate and make cute things and I have an interest in cooking as well! So here are a few things that I have made in the last year. I hope with each post I can see improvement in my skills!

The Kitchen

One of my favorite gals in the whole world made the cutest kitchen for her little boy a couple of Christmases ago. I am so in awe of everything she does and I was very much inspired to make my little girl a little kitchen of her very own. She loves "cooking" and I love refinishing furniture so I felt like this was the perfect project for me to tackle! She loves her present from Santa!

I don't have any before pics because I wasn't planning on making a blog so I am sorry. But I do believe this turned out really cute! I also made the little apron she is wearing!
