My friend Therese is an awesome photographer...in addition to that she also can take pictures that you have taken and then "fix" them by adjusting the color, make the eyes stand out etc.

So I sent her two pictures I took and this is what she did with them.

Isn't Jake's picture the coolest? I love how the highlights in his hair are more pronounced and his eyes...

Riley's picture is great too...my picture the whole thing looks peachy- Therese made her stand out instead of blending into the background....Thanks Therese!

Food processor

So I am thinking that I need one of these. I am going to our second gourmet dinner on Saturday - it is Gourmet Mexican theme. We got Corn Pudding - Anyway, I looked at the ingredients and how to make it and it seemed fairly easy. Then I read that everything was prepared using a food processor...I don't have one. Do I need it? Should I buy one? How often do any of you use yours if you have it? Please help! :)

TGIF

I wish I was here.........
or here... :)

Uninspired....

I am so uninspired lately....I had the whole weekend to "do" something and I didn't do a thing. So today I thought I would visit some of my favorite websites to get some inspiration..this is what I found at Martha Stewart living. I thought that these glasses were so cute. Those are just colored rubber bands with your guests name on them. Cute!

This is a cute idea for outdoor entertaining...it is the bottom of terra cotta flower pots, used as serving plates! Like this idea.

Then there are these really cute napkins...just plain white napkins with fabric or ribbons used to make a napkin ring! Love this idea, you can use whatever napkins you have and then get ribbon to match...
Hopefully soon, I can & will use some of these ideas...

Girl Movies...

Mark was gone for the weekend a few weeks ago, so I got to watch all the girly movies that I don’t watch with him….I watched Becoming Jane and really liked it. I am a big Jane Austen fan so I knew what was going to happen in the end, but I was really hoping for a different outcome…I cried & cried. I am such a sap! Mark is gone this weekend again and I really need some recommendations for some good girl movies…anyone have any? I am tivo'd Sense & Sensibility that aired on PBS, but I need some more to watch!! :)

Thanks!
