Remember

Remember that life is an adventure and that you are your own hero.

Remember to laugh, often.

Remember your dreams and act upon them as often as you can and especially when you can’t.

Remember to breathe, deeply.

Remember to love yourself just as you are.

Watercolor – Blue tree for dad

It’s been a blessing to have some time to myself. I’ve started playing with shapes and colours again. I’m feeling a little rusty but I’m enjoying the process tremendously.

So. Much. Fun! Pioneer Woman Photography assignment

I’ve been following the Pioneer Woman’s blog for quite some time now. She doesn’t know it, but she’s been a tremendous source of inspiration for me over the years. Warm thanks Ree! When she posted a fun new assignment in her photography section this morning, I knew I had to find the time to join in the fun. Basically, she uploaded a picture of Tim, her pesky brother-in-law and asked us see what we could come up with in Photoshop.

The picture was great to begin with so I thought it would be fun to add a personal touch. Those of you who follow her blog will remember that Ree often calls Tim ” Sugar Lips”! So here’s my take :

Hope you like it Ree!

I’ve been having so much fun taking pictures and playing around in Elements that I just may decide to make a business of it! Plus, the Flickr community is unlike any I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing both on and off the web. It’s become my favorite place to visit and I’m just in awe when I look at all the amazing pictures taken by super talented people from every corner of the world.

You can see more of my work on my flickr stream!
