It is so overwhelming! I learn one new thing, then use it for a few months and get totally comfortable with it, then learn something new, and integrate that. I can do about eight very cool things that make a big difference in what my photos look like, but I think I will never know all there is it can do. :(Heidi Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18420802651029097379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1074688836294874272.post-25057100858007759312013-10-10T19:45:42.806-04:002013-10-10T19:45:42.806-04:00I'm visiting :) and I remember reading with a ...I'm visiting :) and I remember reading with a flashlight!mshatchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06308916014310536449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1074688836294874272.post-80874571416342651332013-10-10T19:09:52.540-04:002013-10-10T19:09:52.540-04:00Aw, those are 3 gorgeous kidlets!

Now that they're grown, we just all go out to dinner one night and celebrate their birthdays, Father's Day, and my parents' anniversary. June is crazy busy! I haven't shared The Trumpet of the Swan with my kids, but I remember a fondness for the book. <br /><br />Shannon at <a href="http://thewarriormuse.com/" rel="nofollow">The Warrior Muse</a>Shannon Lawrencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934641808195675935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1074688836294874272.post-61101212792395182062013-10-09T17:58:19.694-04:002013-10-09T17:58:19.694-04:00Wow that's a lot of birthdays.

I hope you're able to figure out Photoshop so it's less frustrating for you. I've been hearing a lot about SKY JUMPERS this week. I might have to check it out! Here's hoping your week is full of productive writing sessions and a good deal less cake. ;-)Jaime Morrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03023932422477544525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1074688836294874272.post-27504997894845179122013-10-09T11:00:28.216-04:002013-10-09T11:00:28.216-04:00That's so sweet that your daughter was baptise...That's so sweet that your daughter was baptised in the same dress you were! <br />I thought my kids birthdays were bad (Dec, Jan, Feb, Apr) but I guess I won't complain.
