Oodles of Doodles

Doodling and fooling around with my photos... :) I loved playing around with the different layers and effects in photoshop with this photo. There are some pretty cool tools and ways to manipulate photos in Photoshop and it lets you take photos and really add your style and creativity to it. This photo of Jori I love. I have it printed and framed on my wall in it's natural state. So... I thought I'd play around with it and see what I could do to make it look different have a different feel. I added Two different layers and was able to draw/doodle in the grass next to Jori. She's my girly girl. She's so full of imagination and creativity, that I see a lot of me in her. And the doodling is something I did alot of as a kid when daydreaming. I see her daydreaming here in the photo so I added a little of what I'd do when daydreaming in the photo.

Bad Days


When my husband has a bad day I feel so bad for him. I want to make it all go away and make him happy again. But usually I can't help. And it's amazing how much his attitude rubs off on me. My day then becomes similar to his. I don't know if it's because a negative attitude rubs off easier than a good one or because I can't help in any way. I really want to make the bad day go away. I want to make him feel better. But usually there is nothing I can do except for praying for him. And God has to work on his heart and attitude. And I need to pray that I can maintain a "good" day despite his bad one. That way at least the household can be balanced. But usually I just need to stay away. HA! I hate bad days. They make me feel so helpless, like the day gets spun out of control and I can't stop it. I know there must be a bible verse about it, but I'm not coming up with anything right now. I do know that God is in control and that he can turn bad things into good things. We just need to be looking in the right direction.
