New Year, New Look

I thought I'd start the New year with a little change in the
look of my blog. (Thanks to Aqua Poppy Designs)
I'm taking down the tree tonight and putting away the
Christmas stuff. For some reason I am holidayed out
and feeling ready to face the New Year.
I had lots of fun with my family over the holidays and
now everyone has gone home and its time to get back to
everyday living. Although the thought of going to work
tomorrow makes me want to scream...lol.
I didn't make any major kind of resolutions for the New Year,
I've found that over the years its just been a waste of time
and usually made me feel like a failure. Who needs that?
But I do have a calender and I set some goals for myself.
I'm marking time frames on the months, so I know when I
need to start something and when it needs to be finished.
Of course there will be the lists, I am good at following
things that I write down...most of the time.
I am getting my Etsy shop up and running this month.
Heather spent an afternoon with me, showing me how to
take pictures and how to fix them with PhotoShop. Since
we had that one day though, there hasn't been another
one with sunshine so I can have some natural light.
But...I did take notes and I have been looking them over.
My original picture above. Artificial light and bad background.
Even fixed it looks bad.

Original picture with better background and natural light.
Same picture, this one has been through PhotoShop, and is ready.
Looks so much better than the one I did. Thanks Heather,
now, can you make the clouds go away so I can take more?

IT'S A BOY!!


My nephew finally arrived last night just
before midnight. Dane Anthony is a
healthy 8lbs, 6oz. and 21 inches long. Curly
dark hair (that's the Italian in him) and
probably dark eyes, although they look blue
now. He's healthy and Momma is doing fine.
I'm sure Daddy has passed out the cigars.
WELCOME TO THE WORLD BABY BOY!

Happy New Year to everyone!

HAPPY NEW YEAR! ITS 2008!

Who would have thought that 2007 could have gone by so fast?
Not me that's for sure. I didn't even see the New Year coming.
I was in bed way before midnight...what's up with that?
But its a brand new year and I know its going to be a great one.
My prayers for everyone is that you have peace and love and
good health for you and your families. Love one another.
Happy New Year!
