After the Snow

December 9 brush by Ali Edwards. Font: 1942 Report.

This is what the birdbath looked like when it was almost finished snowing. The kids had 3 snow days! I was kind of bummed because I felt like crap the whole time it was snowing and it took every ounce of energy that I had to drag myself outside to take some photos of the snow and the kids playing in the snow. Happy Friday!

Snow is here!

I am running low on ink, so I probably won't be printing anything to work on my December Daily until I can make it to Staples...which may be a couple of days. Not looking forward to the winds and the cold, but the snow is so beautiful when it's falling and I'm not driving. Hoping to catch a few more photos tomorrow morning. Happy SnowDay!

Before I started planning my December Daily (in October...I know...it's the engineer side of me...)..anyway-I was flipping through photos in the December Daily 2008 group on Flickr (here). I found a photo with a beautiful red glass ornament that I fell in love with. So today I was shopping at Michael's and they had these glass ornaments clearanced (like 8 for $4) and I almost bought the frosted ones. But then I saw the glass ones and I knew that I had to have them so that I could do this. (Our living room looks much cleaner through the fish-eye view of a glass ornament.) I'm really excited about the way it turned out. And yes-we were watching football (or at least had it on) all day long.

Next up-I want to revisit this photo. Sometimes, as Ali says, I make things more complicated than they need to be. I have taken a lot of online classes that deal with photoshop elements. So I tried fixing this photo using Jessica Sprague's teachings. And it didn't really work and I was afraid that I was stuck with a crappy colorcast photo. Then I was rotating a photo earlier tonight and saw the Auto Color Cast Correction tab. So I pressed it. And it worked on the photo that I was using. So I dug this out of my backup file. And tried it again. And it removed the color cast. And I think it turned out great! I'm so happy. Now I can get them enlarged and printed :)

Again-have a great week! Happy Monday-the snow is coming our way! Yay!!!!
