My grave marker

I have told my husband that if I die first he should have me cremated, and that I want him to dump about half of me under my favorite star.

I took this photo on a gorgeous November day, 2011.

Pinterest Interest

So I'm on to the next big thing... Pinterest. 

Here's where I'm starting my first board, 'made by me'.

Cobbler is one of my all time fav desserts. 

This is one I made using the old tried and true 1 CUP COBBLER RECIPE using FRESH blueberries and peaches.  It was delicious!!!

Here is the super simple recipe:

1 CUP COBBLER RECIPE

1 c. flour, self-rising
1 c. sugar
1 c. fruit (fresh is best but canned is fine)
1 c. milk
1 stick butter

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Mix flour, sugar, milk together in a bowl.  Melt butter in baking dish.  Add fruit to mixture, stir gently. Pour mixture in to baking dish. Pour to center. Bake for 1 hour until golden brown.  ENJOY!!

I haven't done this activity in a bit, but I thought this was an adorable photo and worth a try.

Here's the original:

And here's my 'fix':

I cropped, duplicated the layer, desaturated and did a little erasing, then tinted her cheek just a touch.

In The Orchard

This week's challenge @ iheartfaces is "In The Orchard".  I knew right away the photo I would use for this challenge.  It is a photo that I took in 1996 while on a field trip with my daughter's kindergarten class to a local orchard in TN.  It is my all time favorite photo of my daughters!  The little dresses they wore were given to them by their grandma. 

I look forward to your thoughts/comments.

fix-it Friday, #74

This week's photo for Fix-It Friday @ iheartfaces is by Dana Suggs. 

My edit was made using Adobe PS, and Color Efex Pro 3.o.  I removed one of the pumpkins and "scooted" the subject left a little to improve the composition.  Then I cropped, adjusted the brightness and contrast, and created a layer, Old Photo in CEP 3.o, and used an eraser at 27% opacity.

My edit was done in Adobe PS.  I duplicated the layer, colorized with Color Efex Pro, reduced the opacity to 65%, added a vignette blur layer and did a little burn to her eyes to enhance them, flattened and here's my result:
