I guess you could say we "traded". I sent Annette (www.flickr.com/photos/fromanyangle/) a photo and she sent me this fabulous bracelet! I love it so much. It sparkles with beautiful colors and the the coolest part is the magnetic clasp so i can put it on and off without anyone having to help...so clever... Thank you Annette for being a constant source of inspiration!!!

Have you seen the LOVE Project??? Keiko in Japan is hoping to spread the message of love around the world by sharing little envelops of tiny hearts that she makes. I received my envelope of hearts from her last week and have had so much fun with them. I just can't decide how they can best represent my little corner of the world.....I took them out in the snow, and I played with them at my desk, and they even found their way to the kitchen and onto my shortbread cookies...

Spread the LOVE around the world..that is Keiko's goal. You can request some hearts from her, or I can forward the ones I have received. If you want to participate, let me know in the comment box below and then flickrmail me your mailing address.. The first address I receive gets the LOVE next!!! (and it is free love!)


Happy New Year with love!!!

UPDATE: I am sending them on to Alberta to minniemouseaunt and she will send them to RedWillow/Lisa

ON explore at 426 Jan 2.

I just finished her skinny mini e-course and learned some techniques for adding textures in PSE9 as well as more about using that program...This is one of her free textures...I did a few other edits using a couple of my own textures and like them too but , although I thought I "saved" them correctly, they were not back in my Lightroom stream..hmmm..still learning!!!

A late "Happy Father's Day" to my wonderful husband and father of our amazing son.
Had some fun with this cooperative couple.. A little de-saturating seemed to emphasize her lovely figure :-)
