Alien Skin!!

How great it would be to win this: Alien Skin

I WON!

I won!  Well, I won, 2nd place, but I am delighted, none the less!  I cannot remember the last time I actually won something, so yeah! There were so many good pictures out there, I still find it very difficult to believe, but I'll take it!  Thank you, everyone, for all of your kind words, comments and encouragement!  Have a blessed week.

Here is the picture in case you missed it: click here

Fun Friday-to-Friday Freebie

The one above, with the "M" on it is the one she chose; 

I didn't put the "M" on until after she chose it.

First bag, outside above and inside below

Second bag, outside above and inside below

Well, here we go again. . . . take my trials and errors as a way to get "something-for-nothing"!  YEAH!  Anyway, our Little Rae, Ray of Sunshine needed a little bag in which to carry her tap and ballet shoes.  Soooooo, I thought that I'd give it a go.  Let me start off by saying, that it was MUCH more difficult than I thought it would be.   Thankfully, I had purchased a lot of fabric.  I made several bags and let her choose one.  BUT, now I have a few left over!  Soooo, if you want to leave a comment and post a link on your own blog about this freebie, it will enter you in a drawing to get one of these bags.  Entries will be accepted until Friday, May 8th at 11:59 pm and I'll announce the winners on Monday (not a bad way to start out a Monday, if you win ;) ).  Regardless, thanks for looking and have a blessed weekend.  

Shot of the week

I converted it to b/w after I stretched it, so don't have a b/w size for comparison,

 just the color. 

Thanks to Jodi at MCP Actions, I learned how to stretch my picture to fit it into the frame I wanted with out chopping off my little Sweet Pickle's legs/head.  We took this shot on Sunday and I just love it.  I just ordered the picture and hope that it won't look too much like I stretched when I see it in REAL life as opposed to digital life.  

I [heart} faces - Adult Reflection

Here is my entry for the I {heart} faces Reflections Theme - adult.  My grandma went to sit with Jesus this last January, at the age of 90.   Living 90 years she saw, experienced and lived through a lot in her life time.  This little pocket mirror was once hers.  I might not have her here any more to kiss and hold, but at least when I look into this mirror, I can see a piece of her reflected in it.  To see more adult entries, click here.  

Prima Ballerina

This week at I {heart} faces, the theme is "reflection".  I had such a difficult time choosing a picture . . . "Do I submit the picture that I like the best," or "Do I submit the best composition," or "Do I submit the picture with the reflection as the main subject," or "Do I choose the picture where the reflection REALLY stands out?"  See what I mean?  Anyway, here are few of the other ones.
