Well the 4th of July has come and gone! I can't believe it! I bought a new camera in May because our old one just died. It has several features I haven't even attempted yet, but we were at our local fireworks display and thought I'd give this feature a shot. Not bad! I didn't even use a tripod! Imagine how it would turn out if I had a tripod and a remote to snap the picture?! I did crop them before uploading. I did get a bunch of black pictures too, but with digital, who cares, just delete them!
I've been trying to catch up with stuff at home. Finally getting some energy back. Got a bunch of yard work done and the outside is starting to really come together. I'll post some pictures next time of all the flowers and my vegetable garden. These next 2 pictures are from Matthew's graduation party we had. Jess wanted this cupcake cookbook we saw in the local craft store. So here are some cupcakes she made for the party. She put a lot of work into them. They looked so professional and they tasted great too! I don't know why I was so amazed, she IS very talented! Can you tell how proud I am? I have 2 great kids (yes they do drive me crazy too) and am very proud of both. Matt will be starting college in the fall and Jess will be finishing high school in June of 2011! Boy how time flies!
I've also finally had a chance to get down in my stamp room and get some stamping done! Oh, how I miss that. My friend Debbie came over and we played a bit and came up with some samples for us to do at our next technique class. One of them, I'm going to have to save and send to my friend Chris, she is just going to love it! Now I know that gives none of you a hint as to what it could be, but Chris will know and if Edna, Eileen or Maddy reads this, they may figure it out too. Hmm, maybe I should do a prize for who figures out what one of the projects is. How about a stamp set? Yes, that's what I'll do. So if you're the first to comment or send me an email as to what one of my projects is you'll win a stamp set. Now to figure out what set! Now don't fault me, this is my first time and I'm just getting back into the swing of things. Hope you're enjoying the summer! Cyndy
