chester sparklepants mcglitterface

Guess who's looking less and less like a puppy every day and more and more like a GINORMOUS BEAST?
the correct answer is chester.
chester sparklepants mcglitterface.
or as the kids call him "NO CHESSAH, NOOOOO EAT MY DOLL/TRUCK/FACE!"


Now, guess who got scored big at Goodwill yesterday morning and hauled out not only that perfectly scuffed chair (as seen above) but ALSO a vintage-style dresser just begging to be refinished for Vivi's room, all for a whopping $21?  That would be me.  Thrifty McAwesomeface.  Whose husband almost threw up when I told him I bought two pieces of furniture at Goodwill, one of which was likely going to require hours (and hours) of his time to strip/paint/re-knob/etc.  Poor, poor J.

Now, guess who got Photoshop Elements 10 and has NO idea what she's doing but sure has stayed up past bedtime the past few nights trying to figure it all out?  Me, again.  This picture-taking hobby is like a black hole of obsession, you guys. Yikes.

I have found my Scott Kelby Elements 8 book to be very helpful - looks like they have an Elements 10 version.

Another tip - Ariana is a former (current? MrsJeffsWife or something) bumpie and an amazing photographer. Her website has a lot of great photoshop and photography tips and tutorials.

I do not at all proclaim to be an Elements expert by any stretch of the imagination, but I do use it for my editing, so I am always a FB message away if you have a question.
