Nathan, Ashley, Kayley and Brinley: October 2010

and am starting to love photoshop! I have become a KSL and garage sale junkie ever since we moved into our new house. I don't ever want to pay full price for anything again!! :) I found this cute little table and chairs on KSL. It's nothing fancy, but I've wanted something like this for a while now and figured that for $15 it wasn't a bad deal. Eventually I want to add 2 more chairs and repaint the table and chairs, but for now it works great in our playroom. After we picked it up today, the girls couldn't wait for me to take it upstairs to try it out. I thought they looked so cute so I grabbed the camera and took a quick picture...

or make that 2 pictures...

So now why I am starting to love photoshop.... I bought photoshop elements a few months after Kayley was born and got excited about using it until I tried it out and got frustrated and overwhelmed because I had no idea what I was doing and so I stopped using it altogether. A few months ago I started thinking about how I missed learning and would love to take a class and it was just a few days later that I got a pamphlet in the mail for UVU's CE courses that were held at the new West Lake High School less than 5 minutes from my house. As I was skimming through, I found that they had a photoshop class and got so excited. I've never done anything like that before and decided it was time to do something for myself. My mom signed up with me and we've gone to 3 out of the 6 classes so far. The teacher isn't that amazing and I still don't know very much, but it has still been fun and we have learned a few cool things. We actually haven't learned how to do this in class yet, but just from becoming more familiar with photoshop, I learned to do head swaps and was so proud of myself when I took Brinley's smiling face from the second picture and put it in the first one.

Aren't they so cute? :) I love my girls!
