it takes a village

it's the little things in life that completely make my day

& yesterday

a little thing was accomplished

i

FINALLY

learned how to play around with some textures in photoshop

about a year ago i stumbled upon Shana's amazing photography on flickr

A.M.A.Z.I.N.G.

Shana creates the most fantastic textures & actions

so

of course i bought some

well

they've sat in "mom's folder"

on my hard drive

for months

& months

lately some of my fave bloggers have been rockin' at their photoshop

editing techniques

i pouted & thought

"why the heck can't i figure this out"

so i did what any self-respecting photoshop needy woman would do

i begged for help

my 17year old

was first on the list

i offered her cold hard cash if she'd 'gimmejust15minutes'

sweet child

then

i emailed my buddies & they came in as fabulous relief pitchers!

tracey , traci, & jeanne you are rockstars

& i totally appreciate all your patience

{tracey, apologize to your family...

tell them the crazy woman from atlanta

promises to leave mama alone today }

thank you for getting me started

sometimes

it takes a village!

here is a before~~



& here's what the shot looks like after adding the milk & honey overlay

i may never leave this computer seat again!
