Monday Blog

Happy Monday everyone.  I hope you had a great weekend.  Ours was pretty quiet but we did have a nice dinner with friends followed by a couple games of Farkle.
I am still playing around with my shots from the Balloon Fest.  I use Corel Pro X5 software with plugins from Topaz  to create some artist effects.  It is so much fun.

My husband and I really enjoy some of the television shows on the History Channel.  One of our favorties is American Pickers.  You learn a lot about history and be entertained at the same time.  My parents are into antiques so a lot of the items they find remind me of them.  Here is a link to their website:

As some of you know, I am a self described HGTV addict.  One of my favorite HGTV stars is Danielle Hirsch from Design Remix and Color Splash.   She has her own website and blog as well as running Danielle Hirsch Painting Co.  She offers tips on a wide range of topics including nutrition and design.  Here is a link to her website:

One of my frustrations is buying produce that I end up throwing away because we did not eat it fast enough.  This article tells you if you can save some of it and safe some money.

Here are three things you can do to instantly improve your photos.  I think the most important is lighting.  Be aware of the color of the light and the direction it is coming from and keep practicing.
