Outside and in

A little photog magic going on ... did you see it.  A few blogs I follow are being EXPOSED.  They are balancing their pictures, adding water marks and deepening the shadows.  Obviously the left picture is touched up.  I'll keep working on this.  I thought my cards were the showcase, not necessarily how I showed the cards on my blog.  This card was inspired by  Stamps with Serendipity

And I have been inspired by Erin K. creations...she says: Every project DESERVES YOUR BEST STUFF. If you are taking the time to make it, then it deserves a few of the jeweled brads you splurged on and have been saving. Those chipboard elements you want to dole out slowly one per project for the next year? Nah! Use a few on one project, it's ok. Your most special paper? USE IT.

Gift 16~  Gift of the dogs.  Had a rough afternoon and needed to get out of the house.  Took the dogs for a walk.  I forgot it was near a gated dog park.  Another Pom owner asked me to join her.  My dogs had the best hour running free with about 12 other dogs.  Not only did I give them some great social time, I got to air out my head.  That could be a funny blond girl joke.

Gift 17 ~ We gave the gift of a ride.  One of Sissy's team mates.  Her parents are off in Hawaii and she asked for a ride home from the volleyball tournament.  It was certainly no problem and an easy gift to give.

Gift 18 ~ Every week going to the grocery store there is ALWAYS someone outside the doors selling something.  It's really nice the grocery stores allow these organizations to do this, but we get inundated week after week.  I really wasn't carrying any cash, so I dug through the change purse and just pulled out as much as I could.  I don't even know what the cause was.  Sissy and I just donated.
