I *heart* U

Thomas has been busy with work on the weekends lately so I spend much of my weekends staying at home crafting, and taking pictures of Bear. I read an article once about how to make the best of your point and shoot camera. It mentioned not using the flash and using natural light whenever possible. Also, they said to play around with your settings to find what works best for you. You can learn a lot from reading the manual, if you can find the time...or the manual! hah. So, Saturday before last and just this past Saturday Bear and I had a little photo shoot by the window. I bought some felt to make my little topiary and had some left over so I decided to make some Valentine crafty things. I was originally just making a heart (with some other red left over fabric) then added the "I" and "U" and was going to just sit it on the table or shelf or whatever. Then I realized they were Bear sized and thought I'd see if I could get a cute Valentine picture. The quality of the pictures isn't that great. Kinda grainy. Kinda frustrating. I used photoshop.com to try and edit some. Basically I hit the auto fix button then cropped if I needed.

  1. You are adorable! I love it! (Bear's not too bad himself...) What a fun keepsake! Get yourself a collage frame and take pictures of him with these shapes for the next few years. (He'll grow out of it eventually.) Or, keep this one and take a picture with future babies as the years go on. What a need frame that would make! All the siblings on their first Valentine's... :) I need to meet this baby ASAP!
