Photoshop Friday

 For the last four years, I have been keeping a picture a day album.  I take a picture (almost) every day, put them together by the week and print a book as soon as the year ends.  I love it!  I have either done them with physical photos in a scrapbook album or online in a digital album on Shutterfly or some other company that was carrying the Project Life online album.  This year, they have released all their papers and journaling in digital format as well as physical product so I can just create my own pages in photoshop and at the end of the year print the album.  This offers way more digital choices than in the past so I am loving it.  This is is the first time it is really easy to post what I have created, so I decided I could use it as a weekly blog post!  That will keep me posting way more often than in the past!  I finally think I have figured out my format and how to do it, so I am a couple of weeks behind in the creating pages area, but I figure this way I can post one tonight and I have a week to get the next one done.  I hope you enjoy them!  (FYI-if you click on the picture it will enlarge so it is easier to see...I just learned that!) 

The 50th Is On the Way!

I know, since it is my blog you think I am talking about my 50th birthday, but I am not!  

This time I am referring to Clark's 50th state, Alaska.  Friday he got this email..

 

There was a contest among the agents in this region from June to December and there were a few ways you could earn a fishing trip to Alaska.  You could sell the most insurance in $ amounts or have the most applications or you could be picked from a drawing with one entry per application submitted during the contest.  Clark won the drawing!  (He did sell the second biggest case at the end of the year, but it hasn't closed, so it didn't count, so he deserved to win the drawing, in my opinion!!)  

I thought our kids comments were pretty funny...

Tim:  Way to go, Dad!

Merrili:  Loves this.

Romney:  Awesome!  When do you get to go?

Scott:  Awesome, that would be a blast.

Adam:  This looks like spam.

Jordan:  Romney meant to say when do WE get to go!

Maddy:  Loves this.

Missy:  Loves this.

Caleb:  Give us the dates so we can clear our schedules!

Anyway, I am excited for him to finish his goal of going to all 50 states in such a fun way!
