So here we have some more pictures of Angie and the before and after pics!

Hope you like the changes that I put to your pictures Angie.

I think I will go and get me some 8 x 10's of these. I look forward to doing more of these when the time permits.

Right now I am doing some big projects for my classes and have tests coming up. YUK I hate tests. I guess it doesn't matter what the age, tests just stink! But... I do learn alot from them because I study so hard to get some sort of a decent grade.

I am hoping that I can share things that I am learning and doing with my family members on this blog site.

I miss my family and being around them. It is hard to be down here when they are way up there.

David and I got to talk to Alex today and he told me that his ham had clouds. Mindy said that it was scalloped ham. I love how expressive and adorable little ones can be.

Gorgeous

I have been taking a digital photography class and also another Photoshop class. I so wanted to master Photo shop and it will take quite alot to do it, but... I keep trying.

So my daughter Angie got married last spring. For my birthday I wanted copies of her wedding pictures that were taken. I really liked her pictures but I wondered if I could use some of the skills that I was learning here at the University to spruce some of the color and quality up on them. Here is one that I really liked. I loved the light on her hair and the reeds in the back ground. Of course I loved the subject best. (My Angie!) But the picture was too dark and I wanted more warmth in the coloring. So I took this in to my Photoshop editor and worked on her picture. What do you think? I was tickled! Now that looks like my Angie! What a Babe!

Technology is scary for those over 40 something!

So here we are trying to create a blog for ourselves and family members who would be interested in reading it.

You would think after several years of taking computer classes in Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Microsoft Word, Excel, 3D Animation, Adobe Premiere, C++, Network systems, Visual Basic, GIS, AutoCad, several Access courses, Power Point, and many many more between the two of us, we wouldn't still consider ourselves computer illiterates, but we do. Especially Me (Susie). It is still so intimidating to try something new on the computer like a BLOG! We come from the age of the dinosaurs and this is the Jetson age. What I wouldn't give for a good old fashioned pencil!
