Lovely friends and just because..

Today is a great day.....








and you are in for a special treat. Actually....four days of treats!



Today is day one.



First....let me introduce you to my friend Jacki in the photo above....



she's sitting with her daughter Selah and i just happened to love the way



they were LOVING on each other when i stopped by for a visit.



I happened to have my camera with me and this was a total impromptu



photo and i did NOT ASK permission to use it.



{I'll make it up to you Jacki...pinky promise}



Anyhoo...



I've been wanting to do something fun for a while now...to thank you girls for



taking the time to stop by and read my little thoughts here on this blog.



You know i have a passion for photography....



i just don't want to take it to the next level.



I have the most fun with grabbing images of my kids....



my kids friends and the small things i see with my eyes.


















This photo above is baby Devin.
{i also didn't ask Devins permission either...}



She is my neighbor baby.....the one who when my ovaries are kicking in...


all i have to do is go next door to hold her.


To get my baby fix.


Then i hand her back.









And lastly....



the girl who rocks Fin's boat.



This girl is competing BIG time for his heart...



and i have to say...i think she won him over;-)



Okay....



now for the fun....



GIVEAWAY DAY ONE:



Adobe photoshop Elements 8.



You can edit your photos galore with photoshop....



making your own fabulous memories.



Just leave a comment ...comments close tomorrow {april 30th} at midnight.



Then make sure to check back on Saturday for day 2 {and the winner}.


{p.s. i did and have not forgotten about the name giveaway....don't worry;-)}

Fingers crossed!!!

Gail said...

GREAT photos! I've been lusting after Photoshop 8 for some time now....how did you know?

she dreams big! said...

So if I win the new Photoshop, will my photos look as beautiful as yours? Because I could look at your pictures forever! But I'm sure the raw talent doesn't come with the giveaway! That is yours alone!

Amy said...

would love it! Thank you, so kind of you. beautiful pics!

Digitally Delightful said...

You have renewed my obsession with traveling to Paris. Your pictures are always stunning.

I hope I win! (maybe then I'll have pretty pictures of my own : )

Valerie said...

Oh yes, please! Pretty pretty please! I have a great camera, but only have my iPhoto program to edit with, and Photoshop would OPEN UP MY WORLD!!!!

Love your blog, by the way. It was fun living vicariously through your trip to Pa-reeeeee...:)

Leslie said...

if it isn't wonderful enough to get to come to your blog and read the funny way you write and laugh a bit- we get give-a-ways too! I'm thrilled to be put in the drawing.
I also love to take photographs but mine usually lack the beauty that is the photo shopped picture- it would be awesome to win this giveaway and re-discover my love for photography. :)

MommyLisa said...

Destiny said...

Oh my goodness! Those are some of the sweetest photos! I would love one of those of me holding my daughter...unfortunately, my husband doesn't like taking photos, so there aren't too many photos of me with my baby girl : ( Maybe if I win the software, I can teach him how to love photography as much as I do!

Sarah said...

It would be fabulous to have more than the standard shot pictures that I currently possess. I don't have any editing software to use! I love those pictures you posted! Great eye for capturing emotion!

christy said...

I would love this! Bought myself a belated b-day/Christmas gift of a new Canon a few mos ago & this would be so fun!

Mary Ann said...

Furrla said...

I have loooved reading your European trip posts - but I enjoy your blog in general - I love your writing style!
I would looooove to win Photoshop because otherwise there is no way I could afford to buy it. I'm too busy paying off undergrad loans while trying to pay as I go for grad classes, and driving my '95 Jeep Cherokee and my husband driving his '99 red Saturn. In conclusion: PICK ME!

You know, sometimes I see things in a funny light. I was scrolling down to give my word verification and saw CHOOSE AN IDENTITY. Woah! You've got some blog here! (I have seen this before but ...) May I choose Mary Poppins so that I can get this house clean in a snap? or, who's that British actress who played Jane in the Pride and Prejudice with Keira Knightley? I'd love to be THAT gorgeous - like a perfect breeze - for a day. Wow, the possibilities. ANYWAY...

Heidi said...

Those baby cheeks are KILLING me!!!

Love it!
