Amazing Etsy Monday!

Welcome to Amazing Etsy Monday.
I feature undiscovered treasures just waiting for someone to love and adore them.

So anyway..... as of the moment I search through Etsy, none of these shop owners have had any sales in their stores. There are so many amazing Etsy items available,
these just need a little extra attention because they really really deserve it.

If you aren't familiar with Etsy, you have been missing out.
It's a super fabulous web home to crafters & artists of all types.
You can find something for just a couple bucks to something a few hundred dollars. Who knows, maybe even in the thousands.
I know there are some one of a kind large paintings and sculptures available.

Hopefully you like some of these awesome finds...

I Heart Faces: Week 3: Photo Challenge - “Texture”

I soooooo love this week's challenge.  It's all about texture - whether natural or with the assistance of Photoshop.  I used Amanda Rockwell's CU overlays 42, played with the coloring, and opacity of various layers with overlay and multiply.  I really really love how this turned out.  Thanks to I Heart Faces for making me really have fun with my photos.  You can see the before and after pictures HERE.


This photo was taken a couple weeks ago at our local elementary school.  A few minutes after this, my 5yo went speeding away on his scooter.

Now, if you haven't already.... join in on the weekly photo challenges at I Heart Faces.  You can also take a venture over to my Project 365 blog to see my daily photos.

i heart faces - week 3 - We are Family!

I don't know why it was difficult for me to find the ideal "family" picture for this week's challenge, especially a recent one with an adult in it.  I have lots of pics of my two youngest sons together.  This picture here is of my two oldest sons.  Cooper is 19 and Hudson is 5 (yep, a 14 year gap).  They just adore each other.  

I also really love this even more since I played with the saturation, lightness, and hue of it.

I Heart Faces: Week 2: Photo Challenge - “Best Face Photo”

This is my first time for entering an I Heart Faces photo challenge.  I've been intrigued by it in the past, but felt that my photography really isn't as superb as some posted in their collages.  Then.... I began Project365 at the beginning of the year and I'm really enjoying it.  I just use an HP Photosmart R742 point & shoot, but I love how easy it is.

Anyway, this picture of my 4 yo was taken a few days ago and it was also my chosen picture for my Day 6/365.

ETA:  I goofed my first entry.... I accidentally linked it to my whole blog instead of just this post - oh well, there's always next week
