My Daughter's Wish

will i ever catch on?

yep I think I mentioned before I am just realizing this whole blog thing and how cool it is!  We have a new class coming up from Wendy Poling and her blog is another fun one!  Check IT out!  Creative It Girl Wendy Poling She is as excited as we are about the Tim Holtz Crackle Paint, I would say he is the man but he knows this already and would probably like to hear something he doesn't know, like the reason flamingos are pink are the carotenoids in the food they eat.  This I learned from my 5 year old for her book report.  (I thought they were a little sunburned she quickly corrected me)  Ok I am signing off now to finish the kits for tomorrows baby shower we are throwing at the store  so excited for this one!  I will post pics after the shower. cheers!

I want to be Bari J

ok not really BE her I am not some crazy stalker, plus I really love my husband and kids so that would be weird, but in the bloggin sense.  Her blog is so filled with cool links and inspirations, I was like a two year old caught between a candy store and toy store.  I couldn't decide whether to stay glued to my computer or get up and create!   So now that I have three projects spread out all over my kitchen, dining room and office I am back on the computer giving her props!  My next quest is to get her to give a lesson on cool blogging (is that even what is called someone help me...really)  BIg Kudos to Bari thanks girl!  Visit her blog get lost, then come back and make some cool stuff for the pure enjoyment of it! 

Oh ok how did I find her? Connie sent her in and Bari linked to our site on her blog which she told me about and I was supposed to tell you all about it, but that was a month ago, ho hum welcome to my timetable, so I found her card and thought oh this is the gal who makes the cool bags I need a bag (what girl doesn't) I want this one for all my stuff I haul back and forth:

and one of these belts!

Typo Queen!

OK how many typos could my last email have in it!  too funny :)  I though I checked it at work but alas life got in the way and it was sent before I was able to check it.  I know for some of you out there typos are like fingers on a chalk board so I apologize and hope to have a clear head next week. (yeah right!)

So today after work Kerri and I got to play with our new cameras!  We READ yep read our manuals and broke out the Designing with photos book and went to work.  I actually know what aperture and shutter speed is for, do I really get? not quite but we did get the extreme depth of field trick figured out.  Kerri would kill me if I posted the picture I took of her but here is another example.

This one I tried to get the background in focus and the bike blurry.

Cool so the next one I went for the bike in focus and the background blurry.

So yeah that's great Sheri but it is a bike big whoop, well I booked it home before I lost the good light and took these pics of the girls using my new knowledge.!

Granted the one of Sedona is opposite of what I was going for but it still turned out cute!  I am going to play more on Sunday I think we are going to the beach!
