HEY! Guess what?

Can you guess? Can you? Huh? Huh?

No?

Want me to tell you then?

Are you sure?

OK so I may be getting carried away a little bit here but I'm excited and I like to act immature sometimes :)
The great news is....
Oh wait, before I tell you the great news, I have to show you this (I'm such a tease....lol) When I was taking pictures at the wedding the bride kept shutting her eyes and her mom was telling her to knock it off. I told her not to worry because if I had to I could always cut eyes out of one picture and paste them on another. She thought that was really cool and wondered if I could switch heads too. But of course I can....lol I think she may have had certain people in mind but since I don't know exactly which ones I took it upon myself to pick a couple and switch their heads. I'm throwing this one in and I labeled it "What is that"

I'm not going to mention it and see what she says....lol

OK so the great new is "I'M DONE" yeah me!!!!!!!!!! I finished the last one earlier this evening and I transferred all the pictures on to a disc. I have lightscribe so I need to burn a label on to the disc yet. My only problem is that I've never used it so I'm not exactly sure how but I'll figure it out. Now I can get back to working on some fun stuff for you guys. That and maybe working on some of the craft projects that I started.

Just a short one tonight

I thought that maybe I was done posting wedding pictures but since I don't have anything else going on right now I needed something to post.


I think another couple days of working on them and I should be done. I've been trying to do at least a few a night. If nothing else, this has taught me that I really wouldn't want to be a wedding photographer. At least not while I was also holding down a full time job. Don't get me wrong, I'm not sorry I did this, I was glad to do it for them. It's just that I have a whole new respect for those who do it professionally. Well that's about all I have time for tonight. Oh except one other thing. If I haven't dropped on you in the last couple days I want to apologize. I've sort of taken a break from my dropping frenzy. I'm still doing them, just not going for the 300 a day that I was.
Have a great evening everyone.

Sorry, very long winded

It was back in January of 2008 that I first thought about starting a blog. That's when I opened my google account and made my first blogging attempt. My original blog is long gone and it never went very far to begin with. I was quickly discouraged when a certain person (who shall remain nameless) made a less than positive comment about my efforts. Although I gave up at that point, I continued to have the desire to blog. It took 9 months (how appropriate is that) for Ann's snap edit scrap to be born.
For months, I stumbled along writing posts, begging family members to read and follow, and shouting out new posts in the cafe mom forums. I enjoyed doing it but I felt like I was the only one who ever saw it. Here I was making digital scrapbooking things that I wanted to give away free and no one was there to take them. That's when my sister Tanyia suggested that I register with digifree. I tried that and I gained a couple followers, but yet I still felt like I was all alone in the blogosphere.
Finally I found Entrecard. It opened a new door in my blog world. I found so many new blogs written by the most wonderful people. I have made connections with people who have given my blogging purpose. I'm entertained by their posts on a daily basis. I laugh with them, I cry with them, I relate to what they are saying. Never in a million years did I think that my humble little blog would have reached 97 followers. I feel truly blessed by each and every one of you who stop and visit me. Which brings me to another subject. I've been given some awards.
Words can not begin to describe how honored I feel that two wonderful bloggers felt that I was deserving of an award.

This first one is from Swapna at Crafts and Cooking

Miawa who inspired me in more way than one through both of her blogs

Are you tough enough?

You have to have confidence in your ability, and then be tough enough to follow through.--Rosalynn Carter

I'm a quote freak, I love them. I often go searching for them. I found this one just before starting this post. Yes, I know I'm supposed to be working on the wedding pictures. You don't have to remind me. NO, I'm not finished with them. (Wade has asked me several times in the last couple days if I was finished and each time he came in to ask I was goofing off)

So what does the quote have to do with any of this? I don't know. I guess maybe it's a matter of questioning my ability. I have worked on the pictures but I find myself needing to walk away when I don't feel like I have the ability to do them justice. I think I'm doing the right thing though. If I keep working at them with the wrong attitude I probably won't put forth my best effort. I need to clear my mind and wait until my confidence is back up to par.
