Photo A Day 12-17

Welcome to this weeks Photog Friday.  In case you missed it, I'm doing a Photo a Day Challenge created by Fat Mum Slim.  Be sure to check out her blog to see what others are doing for their "photo a day challenge".  There are some amazing pictures out there!

Day 12:  Close-Up.  This was taken at an antique shop.  All of these items are salt & pepper shakers

Day 13:  Something you're reading.  I'm reading Harry Potter for like, the billionth time.  Time to go to the Library again.

Day 14:  Happiness.  When I hear "happiness" I automatically think of The Beatles song "Happiness is a Warm Gun".  These aren't warm guns, of course.  They're part of Little Man's Halloween costume from last year. 

Day 15:  Morning.  This is a picture of The Hub's hands.  I love this picture. 

Day 16:  Water.  You know you're a mom when you hear the word "water" and you think of a sippy-cup.  hehe

Day 17:  Something you Bought.  This is some of the new fabric I picked up.  I love it. 

Hope you enjoyed this week's pictures!  I had a fun time taking them.

Photog Friday!

Welcome to the first Photog Friday....This week I'm still working on the January Challenge from Fat Mum Slim.  Check out her page to see what other people are doing for their Photo a Day Challenge!  There are some very talented people out there! 

Here are my pictures:

Day 9:  Daily Routine.  Notes for blog, and my recipe binder.

Day 10.  Childhood.

Day 11.  Where you sleep.

Overall, I don't like these pictures too much.  The "childhood" picture has a lot of sentimental value, but overall I don't feel like the pictures "speak" to me in any sort of way.  I feel like my bed looks like a scene you'd see in a scary movie or something about a person in a lonely hotel being all depressed and emo.  hehe  (I guess it's appropriate to have a scary room since it's Friday the 13th)  That's not the feel I get from my room in real life - It's funny what editing can do to change the feeling about something. 

 I downloaded some new (free) picture apps today that I'm excited to try:

-  Pic Collage

-Vintage Cam

-  Photoshop Express

-Color Splurge

After I work with them for a bit, I'll be sure to let ya know how I like them.

Happy Friday the 13th! 

January Photo of the Day: 7&8

Fat Mum Slim's January Photo a Day Challege days 7 and 8:

Day 7:  Your Favorite.  (The Crock pot is my favorite.  The food inside it is good, too)

Day 8:  Your sky.

 To see the Days 1&2, 3&4, 5&6

I lovveee my CrockPot!  It really is a lifesaver!  I must use it around two times a week.  It makes the perfect chicken and veggies for Little Man to eat because everything comes out soft.  It's easy for him to chew it with his little teeth. 

The picture of the sky is really more of the tree.  They sky looks very blue today (none of that smog crud) but I still edited it to make the tree pop out a little more. 

Photo Time!

Soo...the first assignments from the January Photo A Day Challenge by Fat Mum Slim was to take a picture of yourself and a picture of breakfast. 

Here's what I came up with:

Day 1: Me

Day 2:  Breakfast

Since I really don't know too much about photography (I once took a photography class as part of my 4-H group) I can't really tell you what I'd fix (aside from cleaning my stovetop before taking pictures..oops!) and getting more of my head in the picture.  It's amazing what photo editing can do nowadays....and I don't even have anything amazing - the pics were both taken from my Iphone and edited with a free BeFunky App.
