Days Ten Through Twelve of the 12 Days of Texture

Well I have been a very busy girl in the last few days, between working my 'day job', trying to get ready for Christmas and celebrating my husband's birthday it has been nutty!

Up First, Day 10...

 I took these pictures of my friend's dog 'Sunshine' this summer.  Sunshine is the sweetest soul I have ever met, especially in one who has had a hard life.  Wen got Sunshine from the SPCA.  She had been rescued.  Found starving and alone, only about one year old.  Well now she has a fantastic home and you'd never guess that she had it rough.  She is so happy and loveable.  And her name was very appropriate, because she does tend to bring sunshine into our lives!!

Day 11....

I used my girls' Christmas pictures with Kim's day eleven texture 'Rejoice'(2).  I love this texture... Silent Night is my favorite Christmas carol.  I remember singing it when I was a little girl.  We had this old angel ornament that played the tune and I would listen to it over and over...

And last but not least, Day 12....

I layered a picture of one of my favorite old ornaments with today's texture 'Friday'.  

I have enjoyed this Twelve Days of Texture so much!! Thank you Kim Klassen for all of your inspiration!  If any of readers are looking for some Photoshop How-to's, Kim has some excellent classes online.  And if you love textures like I do, join her Texture Lovin' List.

Wishing you all a Very Merry Christmas (or Happy Holiday, whichever Holiday you choose to celebrate...) and the Happiest of New Years!  See you in 2012.

Linneah is Four! (and Day 9 of 12 Days of Textures)

So today I was trying to think of a musical quote, to go with our musical texture from Kim, called 'Lola'.  The only thing that ended up happening, is me singing "You are so beautiful to meeeeeee" in the tune of Alfalfa in my head all morning....  So I didn't get too far.  And its still playing!!  I settled on a brush (also one of Kim's creations!) because it fit what I wanted to say so perfectly.

In November my 'Baby' Linneah turned 4!! I can hardly believe it... She is getting so big, and everyday amazes me.  She makes me laugh, smile, and maybe even cry sometimes... She is smart, sweet, has a temper like her Daddy, and loves to dance and sing.  And her Grandpa is her 'best friend'.  She makes our lives much more fun (and interesting) than they used to be and I can't imagine life without her.

Mommy loves you Linneah!
