My Heart is Full.
Ah.. I spent the last few days just hanging out with a dear friend. It was a completely unplanned visit, but it was just what we needed!! Paul has been in Mexico for a week and when he is away, life just get's harder.. it was pure serendipity that I got an email from C.D, saying she was going to be in town. She stayed with us for a few days and my girls just completely fell in love with her. (and rightly so!!)
C.D. is one of those individual's that brings her own sunshine where ever she goes. It was just good being with her. She gave us our own private art class. We brought up tables from the basement and filled them full with watercolors, arylics, pencil crayons. And just played. It was wonderful.
And I adored the way she really empowered Brenna to just dig into her art. Yes, it was just what we all needed!! Then of course, after the kiddies went to bed we stayed late into the night, just talking and sharing our favorite things. I've been looking for some new actions and C.D. showed me some of the most amazing photo actions! Now I just want to drop everything and play around with my photos all night. I LOVE IT!
Here are some more shots I took of Brenna and Lorynn the other day.. Freshly filtered and spiffied up :)

Isn't CD just the sweetest? I loved hanging out with her at Memory Trends last year. Totally a ray of sunshine!
You've mentioned a few times that you are interested in learning more about photography. If you haven't found it already, I would highly suggest you visit ilovephotography.com It is the most amazing wealth of information. It all sounded like a foreign language to me at first but the more I just read, the more I am absorbing, learning, and improving. You'll get real answers on how to take amazing photos (in camera!), how to make an amazing photo better with post processing, and how to know an amazing photo when you see it. Great place!
you blogged a little didn't you? LOL
I keep wondering how cool it would be to meet you and people like CD, who inspire me SO MUCH. Hard to live far far away :)
Sounds like you had an awesome time and I have a dear friend drop buy unexpectedly myself, but she was gone way too quickly!
Hope you are having a great day, happy mother's day!
Cheers
Michelle - You mentioned the new actions that CD uses that you love, but you ddn't tell what they were or where to get them. The ones used on your photos look great. I'd love to know what you used! Nelle

Ditto what Noelle said! Always love to hear what the cool kids are using these days. :) Gorgeous photos!!
How cool that you got to hang out with CD! :) I felt like I got to "see" you in spirit this weekend, Michelle. I went to a scrapbook expo in NJ and your Fancy Pants designs were everywhere and people seemed to be loving it! :)
What a fun time! And your photos are just so dreamy and gorgeous! I'm with Trude and Noelle...how about sharing what actions you used?
Hugs,
Lisa
That is awesome Michelle! I bet you two creative gals (well, 4 including your brilliant daughters!) had a great time! Love the pictures, those filters are amazing!
Oh lucky you!! I'd love to meet CD!!! She is so sweet!! :)
Beautiful photos of your girls!!
what actions were those? :)
I'm also curious about the actions. They're amazing! Of course, that goes for everything you do...you are so talented!
Positively breathtaking.
My goodness.
