Menu

I'd like to say I've finally learned to quit procrastinating on the menu, but the truth is I'm almost out of my beloved Special K Fruit & Yogurt cereal.  If I don't go to the store first thing tomorrow morning I may be forced to eat the kids' Special K strawberries cereal instead.

Monday- chicken enchiladas (ran out of chicken last week and had to bump this)
Tuesday-  slow cooker ham & white beans
Wednesday- homemade pizza (a weekly staple it seems)
Thursday- leftovers or pasta
Friday- out
Saturday- (make cupcakes for church) All American chili over cornbread waffles
Sunday- Superbowl (GO 49ERS!!) cream cheese jalapeno jelly and killer artichoke bread

Swinging

 

 

Still loving this project!  I got my p365 blurb book in the mail today (super fast printing and shipping).  I'm really happy with it, but I feel like I can tell the photos are phone quality.  I'm really excited to do this year's with my good camera and have a book made with these photos!  So much fun to be able to see the whole year in print!! 

Scrapbook Friday

Britt has another great template pack out today, Fill 'Er Up Templates 4.  Here's what I scrapped with them.

Yay, the uploader is working again! :)

I LOVE the trend towards backlighting that I'm seeing all over the place lately, but I've been scared to try it with my "real" camera.  The point of this p52 is to push myself and try new things so I can grow as a photographer, so I give you my first real attempt at backlighting. :)

 

 

 

 

Next up, figure out custom white balance!

Testing... I still can't get blogger's image uploaded to work on my computer. I'm resorting to emailing myself the pictures and then posting from my phone. Lets see how this works...

Well, the quality seems poor to me, but at least they're on the blog now.  Adding a couple more to last week's post now too. 


Week 2, playing pirates with N (taken last Tuesday).

This right here is exactly why I'm making myself do a p52 with my good camera. Ahhh... :) 

 

Anyway... I'm still doing a p365 on my phone too.  I haven't decided which one I will make into a book this year, but I like that I have options.  It takes the pressure off a little bit. :)   

A couple more from last week posted from my phone... 

P365- 366

Apparently I completely forgot to post this on my blog last night. I only realized just now because I'm working in my book and couldn't find the last picture. Oops!
