Alpha fun…

During the Christmas bazaar season my daughter in law found an alpha hanging she wanted to add to my granddaughter Kendall’s Christmas list.  I told her I was pretty sure I could make something similar.   I used my Photoshop Elements 10 and created this.   I saved each image on my flash drive, took it down to Office Depot and had them print on cardstock.  I then cut out each image, one by one.    I bought a 12x24 canvas at Hobby Lobby and painted it with my American acrylic paint, Sable Brown.    Kendall’s room is in shades of pinks and browns.  I decided instead of painting the background a shade of pink to paint it a shade of brown.

I measured and spaced the images and attached with Mod Podge.  Once they were secured and dry, I painted Mod Podge over the entire project to finish it off.

I added a little extra bling to it; various sized rhinestones.

  

 

I added a pretty pink silk ribbon for hanging and a brown bow to finish it off.

Fallicious

I’m in love with Fall!  This year is even better than ever!   The beautiful colors are staying on the tree’s longer than normal.  We have had a few near record temperatures last week in the mid 70’s.  This week is starting off mid 60’s.  It’s crazy to think it’s so nice and it’s November!   My window is open today letting in the fresh air.  

I took this picture early one morning last week.  The sun was coming up and reflecting on the tree’s across the field, behind my house.  I had to get the step stool out so that I could stand and look over the fence.   It looks like a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow.

Here are a few little treats that I passed out for Halloween.

These two cuties came to visit.

I hope you’re enjoying the beautiful Fall weather too….

Please pray for the East Coast.   My heart goes out to them.  It also makes me proud to see how we as American’s have pulled together to help them.  It is inspiring.  Maybe there is a little hope for our country.

Silly Grin

Who can resist this silly grin?   Kendall is 16 months already and is as cute as can be. Being a Grammy is the best!

Kidlets

These two adorable kidlets spent the day with their Grammy (that would be mwah) last weekend.   We had a great time.   I sure do love them!

GG Dort came to visit. Carter spent his time running through the water and chatting with GG Dort through the pool noodle.

Kendall sat on GG Dort’s lap and chattered away in serious thought.  She is such a busy body.   I’m surprised she sat still for a few minutes.

They sure do grow up fast!  I’ve got to enjoy every minute that I can.

Week 16 – Perspective

The theme this week for My Four Hens Project 52 photo challenge is PERSPETIVE.    There are so many things you can do with this word. 

Yesterday was my Granddaughter Kendall’s 1st birthday.    I decided to take a picture above her showing her perspective of that delicious birthday cupcake her Mama made for her.

It was such a beautiful day in Les Bois.  What a perfect day to have a party.  Can you tell she’s enjoying it?  It’s cute how she’s even trying to use her little fork.

2011 Faves

I was going through my 2011 folders and realized I really didn’t take that many pictures.   My camera is going to come out more in 2012..  I would like to take more scenery shots. 

Here are a few random shots that I like.  Not necessarily the best… but ones I like.  Some have a little editing.  Some have none.
