Creative Genius

My mother took this photo of Remmy and asked me to fix it.
So I did.

First, I deleted the background by tediously magic tooling it and cutting it out.
Those of you who know how to do this, if there's an easier, faster way, PLEASE tell me.

I then took that photo, made a copy of it, and then cropped out his hand.
I plan on printing this one for his book I plan on finishing up this weekend.

This is my Typography poster assignment. I think if you click on it, you can read the writing. One of my classmates was hysterical as she read it. I was laughing hysterically at her comment she left in our discussion room. Hehehe. Gotta love some humorous artwork.
Anyway, all of this is done with my Mack Daddy Photoshop program.
Which has a very DEEP learning curve.
I have SO much to learn.
I'm off to edit more photos.
Basketball and such.
Toodles,

Tacky Yankee Children

So...it was tacky day at school today.

This is Gabryelle's Tacky outfit...lookin' good Sparky!

Natalea struck a pose...

Olivia Newton-John would be JEALOUS!
This is the dress that TriCeraMo loves....
But can't fit into any other day.

Gotta love some tacky Yankee Childrens!

They were inspired by Madea...

Where DID I put that purple mumu?

I'm off for some birthday cake...baked by Brother Baker.

I swear, he's gonna open a shop up.

Sweet dreams.

Love,

Happy 9th Birthday Monique!

These are the cupcakes that Mo built. She wanted to bring something for her class today, so we baked cupcakes last night when I got home from Natalea's first basketball game. More on that in a minute.

This one's for Kelly Purkey...who always seems to have a cupcake on her blog at least once a week! Don't expect any jumping photos though...hehe.

Plain old chocolate fudge cake mix with white frosting. And then...

Add in the Neon colored Frosting Gel and with a toothpick you get a tie-dyed cupcake! Thanks to Family Fun, I found this easy recipe for these babies. The girls really had a blast decorating them and they only cost about $5 for the whole project!
Last weekend we went to Statesboro and found a Hallmark store. Bad idea. I picked up this year's assortment of ornaments. Just think, in another 5 years, Erik will be 18 and have just as many ornaments to cover his own tree!
Tommy got the ESPN one, Erik wanted JD, and Natalea got HSM, Gabby got Scooby, and Mo got the Grinch. And all but the boys' are musical. I almost woke the house up when I took this as Natalea's was singing.

Natalea's first game...I'll post photos tomorrow after I have more time to edit them...went well. The girls lost 22-24 to Toombs County, but played a damn good game. I thought I was watching a boys high school game, they were so rough. And fouls...OH MAN!! Brought me back to the high school days for sure!

SPEAKING OF WHICH...NEAL FOX will have a birthday this weekend I think on the 17th. My memory has faded some, but I think it's the 17th...maybe it's the 18th...it's soon I know!!

So, Happy Birthday Neal Fox...I must email him a card!

This week has been busy so far...I'm glad it's Thursday. One more work day then we can party!!

We are taking Mo and the kids for a game of bowling for her birthday, depending on if Tommy has to work or not will depend on which day. Then we'll rent movies and have a movie night at home with popcorn and theater candy!

Tiff..if you read this..holler at me...you guys wanna go??

The grades are still at 94% average...GO ME!! The term is half over now and I am confident I can do this!!

Happy Thursday!

Love,

Sunday, Sunday

Well, I've completed my Project 1 worth 875 points and my weekly assignment for my IGD class, taken a mid-term exam and a quiz today. I feel pretty good about it too. I'm pulling a 94, 95, and 92 percents in my classes. Now, if I can only maintain.

The kids and Tom were pretty good this week about letting me get it all done too.

Hopefully the next 4 weeks will be this good.

In other news, the girls are outside playing Polly Pocket in the grass. In November.

Erik is toodlin' around the old house with Tommy.

And mowing the lawn. In November.

The windows are open and the weather is fantastic. In November.

We can't wait to see what December is like. Hehe.

We might turn the heat on then.

And things are still green and barely changing colors here.

Scooter likes the windows open for sure. He loves to bird watch from here.
Happy Sunday y'all!

Love,
