Thanksgiving

She told her daddy not to cut up the drumstick -- she wanted a whole one.

Halloween pirate

Well, I had this notion that Gregory the pirate ought to be seen on a pirate ship, and it took me more than a week to locate the photograph I wanted to use. Actually, the ship is the Constellation in Baltimore's harbor -- a photo from 5 years ago that had been downloaded to a disc and it took some searching to find it.

Halloween ballerina

Photoshop is a wonder! This was taken in her living room with toys on the floor and a smaller child in the background. So I cut out Kayla using refine edge to get strands of hair, and put in a background using a modified paper, a star, and a heart from Digital Scrappers. Sorry I didn't pay attention to what issues they came from.
