Out of Mind, Out of Sight

It’s done. The last layouts were completed and uploaded yesterday. I finished the front and back cover and spine and uploaded those. I double-checked each page to make sure I hadn’t left VividPics on. I previewed more than once. I placed the order and clicked "submit." It’s done. Now, all I can do is wait for Shutterfly to [...]

Where Do We Go From Here?

Two more completed and uploaded to Shutterfly! I’m still waiting on one picture from my teen to finish a layout of her friends, then I’ll complete the last page of the album (I hope to make it special) and get the whole thing sent off for printing. Here’s what I finished last night… This one was [...]

I’m in the last stages of completing my daughter’s album. After the layouts I completed yesterday and today, I’ve only got two layouts to start, one to decide on a background paper and the front cover to make. It still sounds like a lot of work, doesn’t it? Here’s the latest… This one is images of [...]

Updated to add the link to the site hosting free Lightroom Presets. See paragraph 2. One of my readers, Barb, sent me an invitation to try Lightroom 2.0 Beta (after considerable effort on her part, I might add.) And I got it loaded and registered yesterday and tried to play around with a photo a friend [...]

I said goodbye to my teen for a whole month yesterday. We got up at 3:30 in the morning to drive her to Frankfurt to catch her 11:15 flight and spent most of the day in the car. It was so sad to see her go, but I felt so proud of how confident she’s [...]

What’s it Take to be Cool?

It’s hard to create an album for a teenager! I mean, when she was little, she loved anything I did just because it was for her and about her. Now, she criticizes a page because I include a picture of her that she considers "dorky" or I write half a page about the sites she’s [...]

Had a Productive Day!

Actually, my whole weekend was pretty productive, but I’m not counting all the templates right now because I’m still working on my goal of completing my daughter’s album before she leaves for the states. I completed another three templates yesterday and five pages today. Yes - five. I couldn’t believe it myself but I was on [...]

What Would You Do?

I’ve got thirteen pages completed for my daughter’s album and I’m closing in on my self-imposed deadline for completion. I’ve still got many more pages to complete (one trip that she has yet to take) but I’ve got a good flow going and expect to finish before the end of June. Now, all I have [...]

Keep Reading, I’ll Make it Worth Your While…

A few days ago we had an amazing storm. I love thunderstorms and heavy rainstorms - the louder and more furious, the better - but I’m leery of those that are actually life-threatening and likely to cause property damage. This one was both. The day started out bright, sunny and warm and it seemed the whole [...]

Catching up

Sorry for the veeerrrryyyy loooong absence of late, but it’s hard to get used to this WordPress format after using LifeType for so long and, to be honest, it’s been a little depressing to lose my whole blog. It’s a little like losing a good friend without warning - a friend you didn’t really appreciate [...]
