Christmas baking.  My girls and my mom.  What could be sweeter?  (Thanks to Kim Klassen for her beautiful texture:)

How can you lose a whole day? It started out innocently enough - just looking at some blogs and uploading a few photos. Next thing you know I'm knee deep in a Photoshop book, trying to figure out how to organize my photos and use the program more effectively. I think I added to my knowledge base, but never got around to cooking dinner. Luckily I have an understanding family who will make themselves PB&J in a pinch! (I did throw in a few loads of wash, so the guilt isn't toooo bad)

Worked on overcoming my fear of shooting in public. Spent a lovely fall afternoon walking around Head House Square in Philly, snapping some pics. Ran into my teacher from a photo class I took - what are the chances? And me trying to be inconspicuous pretending I knew what I was doing! Nabbed.

Maybe there will be dinner tomorrow, but I'm not promising anything ;)

AEDM Day 5

Switched gears and did a little doodling for AEDM.

I learned about this cool tree called the Pohutukawa - New Zealand's Christmas tree. It can thrive in difficult conditions, clinging to the earth on rock faces reaching out over the water. After a rough day, I used this tree as inspiration for a sketchbook page. There are lots of things I would change about the collage, but the process was very soul-soothing.

On Day 4, I did a little zentangle inspired doodling.

My camera battery is recharged, so it's back to photos, I think!

AEDM Day 2

Day 2 Photo

Okay.  I think I may have gotten myself in over my head.  I signed up for the Art Every Day Month (AEDM) challenge hosted by Leah Kolindas over at
http://creativeeveryday.com/.  The art part is challenging enough, but the real problem lies in learning how to do the technology end of it.  Now I'm a BLOGGER???  I have no idea what I'm doing! haha!  It's an adventure!
