Still playing catch up with last year’s photos. I’m proud to say I have selected and edited all my photos for the year and now just need to publish them here! So watch in the coming days/weeks for updates. I even taught myself how to automate some of the steps by creating some Photoshop actions to make the images sized and sharpened for the web, and also to insert my watermark. Before I was doing it all manually, but having an action definitely makes the task easier to undertake! Plus, learning about how to create these actions makes me feel good that I pushed myself to figure it out.
It’s also my hope to continue to share photos from 2010 here as well… though I’m not doing project 365 this year, I am still pushing myself to take better photos and get better at Photoshop. Publishing them here pushes me to do a good job on them since they are out there for everyone to see!

6.7.2009. New recipe: Pioneer Woman’s Crash Potatoes. If you have never tried these, you are missing out.
6.9.2009: Faded Roses. Received on our wedding anniversary, I didn’t think to take photos of them until now.
6.10.2009. Gigi’s Home. Gianna spent the week camping with Grandma and Grandpa, along with her cousin Olivia. And now she’s home.
6.11.2009. Ready for planting. I bought these planters at a local once-a-month trash-to-treasure shop, and I LOVE them. I do not, however, have a green thumb. Despite my best attempts, I couldn’t get the daisies to bloom. In fact, I couldn’t get them to grow in the mostly shaded north-side of the house. For 2010, either move the planters or try a different type of seed.
6.12.2009. Miniature Doll Toys – the smaller the better: Universally Loved by Little Girls Everywhere. At a cousin’s graduation party, Gianna got to play with her second-cousins. Here the have their favorite little dolly toys scattered across the patio.
6.13.2009. Cousin Robin. Robin’s graduation party, Gianna poses for a photo with Robin.
6.15.2009. Soccer Practice.

6.25.2009. Henna: The Next Best Thing to Face Painting. Attended the local Lemonade Fair, but got there too late to get the face painting I had promised Gianna, so we opted for Henna art instead. it was really cool!
6.26.2009. Swim, Swim, Swim.
6.28.2009. Sub Sandwich. I love making these big sub sandwiches ahead of time to let the flavors marinate for a few hours before eating. Plus, it’s an easy meal for eating around the pool or while on the boat.
6.29.2009. Corn on the Cob. It’s not summer until there’s corn on the cob!
6.30.2009. Gianna does dishes. And yes, I still hate editing photos taken under the icky florescent lighting.
