    I also enjoy The Dick Van Dyke show and The Andy Griffith show. :) I recently went through all of the Dick Van Dyke show on netflix. So funny.

Fix-It Friday ~ #48


.
This week’s Fix-It Friday photo was provided by Natalie P from And Then There Were Three.
Here is the original photo. I like the composition and the little girl is adorable; however, the exposure is a bit dull.
For my first edit, I simply boosted the contrast, corrected the color in curves, added some warmth, brightened the eyes, and sharpened the photo. I didn’t like the sharpness on the hat, so I created a layer mask and erased the sharpness in that area.
For my second edit, I gave the photo a more “retro” feel. I added some layers of colors (first orange, then purple, then brown), sharpened the photo a bit more, and finished with a light vignette.
To see many more fun edits of this photo, stop by I ♥ Faces.

Spring Day


002
Last Sunday, Dad decided to take out his little Honda motorcycle.
He gave Elinor a little ride around the lawn.
Poor Judah – too young to enjoy motorcycles!

Elinor also enjoyed our swing set.

And the children of men take refuge in the shadow of Your wings.”

    Looks like a beautiful spring day! When we moved in the middle of February there was still several feet of snow on the ground. Eleanor is so beautiful. I just love her smile and her cute blonde hair! Some of my fondest memories were with my grandpa when I was a baby. He would drive us around on his little moped. Cherish these moments!

Thrift-Store Find

Amanda (my sister) and I found four lovely rings at a small thrift store. Here’s one of them.

I can’t be sure, but I think it’s silver. I don’t know what the sparkly blue gems could be…

    WOW! It’s gorgeous Erica!
    My brother says to bite it to find out if its really silver. If it is, there will be bite marks in the ring (if you don’t want big teeth marks, bite lightly!). He said even the slightest mark means it could very well be real silver. You could also take it into a jewelers and see if they will give you their opinion. I think they’ll do it for free, but I’m not sure. As for the blue gems…aren’t sapphires blue? Otherwise, it could be sterling sliver or just sliver paint and paste gems.
    I’d say you two got a good deal anyway!
