Back Again

Yep, I'm back! I've manage to get the pictures onto my hard drive and it lead me to another goal for this year: don't let the number of pictures on the sd card exceed 50 or two "events". I had over 1,200 pictures to download and it took forever. Part of that was I had way too many things going on at once - 12 tabs open and 6 of them were all trying to load something or other. Yeah, I'm not always such a patient person.

Anywho, (yeah, I know it's not a word. I'll do that a lot here so play along with me), I will be attending the Mother/Son dance at my 7 year old's school this evening. He is actually excited. He is quite the dancer, he does say so himself. I am preparing to watch him bust a move and watch everyone else smile and laugh (in a good way). He is so outgoing sometimes I just sit and watch him inner act with other people and wish I could do that. The other two are outgoing as well. I'll save their stores for another day.

Here is the first of my creations I'll share. My aunt's 50th was at the end of last year and she was given a surprise party by her awesome husband and some of their friends. She decided that she wanted to give the main organizers a special thank you card and asked me to create some. This is the card I made for her husband since I know he loves cars. I think it turned out rather handsomely.

Now I'm still working on my photography issues, like getting the right lighting and focus, but you can get the gist of the card. Below is a close up of one of the cards and the "thank you".
