Our Christmas Tree Excursion

In reading the blogs of family members it appears you are supposed to post pictures of your outing to get your tree. So, here are ours. We just started going to cut our own tree last year, and the kids just love it. This year was a bit of a challenge as the snow was up to their waist in places, but they trudged on, determinded to help mom and dad find one that was "just right." Seems they've all inherited some of the perfectionist genes. When Shannon had finally had enough she just laid down and made a snow angel.

I Think I'm Hooked

Christmas came early for me this year. We finally bought a digital camera. I figured I wouldn't want to be learning the in's and out's of the camera during the busiest photo taking time of the year, so I was able to receive the camera early. Then I also bought Photoshop Elements so that I could do my scrap booking on the computer. And I only had 30 days to return the software so I HAD to try it out right away...right?!?!?

So this morning I sat down and made my first scrapbook page. Flexibility at it's peek!!! Pick a colour from your photo and instantly create matching paper; crop, re-crop, enlarge, shrink, enlarge, crop again; correct spelling mistakes, add in an extra thought; and the kitchen table remains clear and ready for the next meal! I may have to look into scanning the 4 boxes of photos I have waiting to go into albums!

Here's my first page. Miles away from what can be done, but not bad for a quick first attempt...IMHO.

Half a glass of milk, propelled by a fast moving limb (eg: an arm) can cover an extremely large amount of floor and wall!
