Picnik

I am having all sorts of fun with my new camera. I was thinking about
buying Photoshop. I have wanted it for some time. But then I heard
about the website Picnik. You can have so much fun editing photos for free! Yes, you have to upload each picture you want to edit, but it is free. I was toying around with some of the elements on their site. I think I will just use this for now until I really feel the need to purchase Photoshop.
Here is a picture of Mia from Christmas and an Oldie But Goodie from my photo library. I cropped them, changed to B&W, softened the images and added some text. So fun! It allows you to save your edited pictures to your computer, send them to Facebook or MySpace as well as email or send to your own website! And did I mention it is FUN?

Try it out if you are a obsessed with photos like I am! http://www.picnik.com/

I Caught Santa!

Ho! Ho! Ho!

Just in case you have not heard about this...there is a website out there that allows you to take a picture of your house and place Santa in it anywhere you want. It makes it look like you caught a picture of him! I did one quick to see how cute it was. I think it is a really neat idea to keep the Santa Spirit going. I remember when I was little my Mom bought some old jingle bells and placed them out on our balcony in the snow. I was excited for a long time thinking that they came from one of Santa's crew! If I remember correctly, I think I even brought them to show and tell at school! Anyway, these pictures will only set you back $12.95 (with 5 emails of your friends for referral). Otherwise they are $17.95. You can pick from any of their Santa poses and move him around and get him the correct size. Mine could have turned out better, but I did it quick. I am trying to figure out how I will pull that off anyway, since Santa is supposed to be visiting Mia at Grandma and Grandpa Eberhardt's this year. I suppose I can leave a few Santa gifts here for her when we return on the 26th. Then she might believe it. I guess then I will have to tell her I am putting my camera on timer as well since I won't be here to take the picture myself! You have to get up pretty early in the morning in order to fool that girl!

Have fun! Merry Christmas!
