Bringin' out the Blooms
I walked by the most lovely cherry tree today and took some photos. The blossoms were delicate and fluffy. It looked like the tree was covered in cotton candy. So nice!
Little man and I visited the park to get some photos for the upcoming newsletter for SCAN (our neighborhood association). I can't wait till the trees put on leaves and all the flowers are in bloom.
Hubby had not seen the movie Footloose yet so last night we stayed up despite daylight savings and watched it. It's really fun to watch movies from the 80's. I was only six when the movie came out yet, I can still remember most of the lyrics from the songs. Sing along with me... Loose, footloose, Kick off your Sunday shoes, Please, Louise, Pull me offa my knees.
What I didn't remember was the hideous way the ending dance scene was shot in. Brightly colored lights adorned the corners of the frames along with light strands and lots of confetti. Thought it was funny so I made a Photoshop action(free download on deviantART.com) to share with you just in case you also want to turn your photos into some 80 era gems. I'm using a picture of Erick and Kevin, two people who I truly admire on the dance floor. I sure hope they don't mind the 80's flair :)
I'm a full-time mom who loves to create. I have a degree in Fine Arts and have had the privilege to work as a graphic designer. Now that I have a family, I spend lots of time on projects for children and our home. I also run Charmed, my store that features unique soldered jewelry and art. I hope you enjoy this journey with me!
