Oh the Mix Tape.....how that brings back memories. All you really need (besides good taste in music) for a good mix tape is a double tape deck stereo or the radio. So many of my mix tapes where made by me sitting by my stereo listening to the radio waiting for the latest song to come on with my finger on the record button. Most of the songs started with the announcer introduction. Classy I know but it was all about getting the song not necessarily the quality. haha!
I made a treasury. The theme is Echo Beach. I love that song. Click here if you'd like to take a look. It should be up for a couple of days. Thanks so much!

My little birdies jumped from the page onto the wall this week and I'm so proud of them. I've actually been kicking around the idea of making wall art recently so this week when Lori contacted me I did a little happy dance. Lori is designing her daughters "big girl" room and she's basing a lot of the design off of this cute fabric she found of bird cages. She emailed me to see if I could make my little birdies in different colours to match the fabric. Of course I said yes! She also wanted to print them off at a photo lab in 5" x 7" so after a few tries I figured out how to make the images into printable jpegs and I sent them off to her. Lori was kind enough to send me some pictures of the final product. I love the striped paper! Thanks Lori!

New Listing - Humorous Anniversary Card. This card is made out of textured white cardstock and is blank inside so you can add your own personal message. It measures 6"w x 6"h, folded and comes with one white envelope. You can see the listing here.
This lovely picture can be found in the Etsy shop Erratic Habits. The picture itself isn't for sale it's actually the shoes that you can buy but I just thought this picture was so great I had to share.
Here's the basic set up. I took these outside but I usually take my pics on my kitchen counter by the window. I've also taken them in the living room. It all depends on time of day and which side of the house is getting more sun.
Getting closer....I take most of my pictures on the Macro setting. I love it. The macro setting allows me to get some unique angles and the products always turn out nice and crisp looking.
Even closer.....now as you can see the pictures is alright but kind of dull looking. Well Linda at a la mode told me about Picasa and now I use it all the time! Picasa is a free download off the internet. It's amazing how the click of one or two buttons can make your pictures pop! I like the "I'm Feeling Lucky" and "Highlight" buttons the best. So here's the before without Picasa and.....
.........the after with Picasa. These pics turned out a little too blue because I took them a little too late in the day but you get the idea.
