Okay negative nelly is gone for today. It will all be worked out.
{Update: Even though I don’t fall under FMLA because I haven’t been employed at my current job for 1 year, I found out that as long as I’m back in 6 months my hire date still stands. This is good news – I’m not totally over the whole situation, but for now I’m choosing to think “everything is rainbows and butterflies, baby boys and new old houses”.}
Speaking of baby boy I was awakened (word usage anyone?) about 4am by the WORST Charlie Horse I have ever experienced. Are there any symptoms of pregnancy I won’t have? My leg is still a little sore to the touch… Also, I think we are close to telling everyone the name. I think a lot of people know... I just feel weird about the "announcement" part of it. We've started using it around the house...so I think it's going to stick. Any advice? How did you start telling people your baby's name?
Changing gears...

This week's edit me challenge comes from Sarah at Naptime Momtog.

Then, I exported the photo over to CS5 to play. I created a new layer and used the paint brush to whiten the white squares on the tower a bit (they were looking bluer than I liked). Next, I wanted to apply a sunflare and the easiest way to do this is with one of my favorite actions from PTM: fun faux flare. There are two of these left and right, but they come from the top of the photo usually, so I flipped my photo and then applied it. There is probably an easier way to do this, but honestly it didn't take but a few seconds. I added the quote for fun. The font is "throw my hands up in the air" by Kimberly Geswin.
I love how happy the colors are. And what a great quote too! :)
ReplyDeleteHey,
ReplyDeleteThis is great. I use lightroom and cs3 but I would for sure say that editing is not my strong suit. I would love to learn more though. This is a great picture. I am excited for your soon to be Etsy shop. Getting a shop set up is HARD! But it will be worth it.
