I find that it much easier to work out things in my life when I write them down. Just the act of putting my thoughts on (electronic) paper helps me to step back and look at it in a different way. Most of the time, by the time I am done writing about something that is on my mind I have it all worked out and I am able to move forward. These are those thoughts.

My Two Favorite Younger Sisters
Sunday, April 5, 2009
A very early mother's day present...
I saw the middle picture of my mom at 5 months old and I decided to find pictures of all of the girls at about the same age, I faded the pictures of the girls so that they wouldn't over power my mom's picture. I also added the framing around the girls by making a new page and using the eyedropper tool to get the color from the edge of the middle picture to make them match a little bit. Kind of simple but I like them better that way.

My very first attempt at Digi Scrapbooking
Digi Scrapbooking
Well after being idle for... a long time, I have finally found something that is interesting to blog about. What is that you ask....
Digital Scrapbooking!
While we were in Utah (see my mom's blog) Allison showed us some digital scrapbooking things that she was doing on her computer. She also said that the program that my parents had gotten her for christmas was on sale at Costco. My mom and I were both interested but didn't commit to getting the program. Well while we were driving home (we were just outside of Park City) We decided that we would really like to have the program for the home computer. So I called Allison and asked her to buy the program and have it shipped to us. Well this was done and it made it to our house by Monday (wow that was fast, it was even in Eagan before we were.) So I have been collecting lots and lots and lots of papers and elements during this last week. Tonight I am hoping to finally make a scrapbook page, and since I have nothing all that interesting of my own to scrapbook I will be using a lot of my niece and nephew and my sister who is on her Mission in Australia. Look for a completed page in the next day or so and let me know what you think.
A few of the sites where I found some cute things:
