Fun with photo shop

Arlington took this original picture of Finley:

Oh.....where are her glasses? Yeah, she had hid them. No worries - today I found them. Little trickster.

So - Mat got me Photoshop Elements for my birthday and I have started to play around with it. I have no idea how to work it. I need a book.

But I took the picture of Finley and played around with it a little bit.

We were also having a house showing today, and I picked my favorite flowers from our yard to put in vases for the showing.

I love the hydrangeas. I am going to have to get some for our new house. Our current hydrangeas bush is huge! I am going to miss it.

Today is a little cooler than yesterday and we have our one and only air conditioner running. It is keeping us very cool. I will be glad when the weather breaks and we get some relief.

Arlington and Mat went to see Captain America today. I was going to have her write a review on her thoughts on the movie but she said, and I quote, "I don't want to give the movie away".

Little chance of that with her reviews.
