DELIGHTFUL CLUTTER...by Rose

~MEMORIAL IMAGE ~ for my daughter

2012-01-30T17:28:00.002-06:00

I dedicate this image to my daughter. Today is the Memorial Anniversary for my oldest daughter... Dawn ...we lost her when she was 17 years old. ~ Takes a very long time to recover from the loss of a child.

Thank you for remembering her too.

~A DIFFERENT TEXTURE~

2012-01-22T18:45:00.002-06:00

The class I am taking is challenging us to try different techniques. So altho this is one of the same images of the series below...I have used a different texture on this image.

Just happened on these little pieces of " delightful clutter" yesterday...and had to take them home.

~TAKING A NEW CLASS ~

2012-01-20T20:36:00.001-06:00

I am currently taking a new PS Elements class...and these are two of the images that I posted..that have a very light white/beige texture over them.

I actually like a darker processing than this..but this is what we were asked to do right now...and we were to "just keep it simple."

You will be seeing a LOT more of my class images as the weeks go on.

2011-12-08T06:28:00.004-06:00

This past summer my siblings and I took a trip back to our chidlhood home. One which my great-grandfather built in the late 1800's...it remained in our family for FOUR generations....so wonderful seeing it again,

I had always loved this wallpaper,(which my grandfather had put up when I was a child )...I somehow was not surprised to still see it up in my old bedroom.
In fact,he use to wallpaper the ceilings too...with a plain wallpaper...not sure why...but imagine what a job that was.

They must love this paper too.

DO YOU KNOW WHO THIS IS ?

2011-11-16T23:49:00.002-06:00

I have had this image in my "collection" for a number of years..and was clearing out/deleting some of my older files..and came across this one..and said to myself.. "this looks like John Stossel ".... ! lo and behold..the tag on the image.... when I went to
re-file it said stocel...! What do you think....maybe his grandfather and great-grandfather ?

The resemblance is AMAZING I think.

~EVER BEEN TO CAPE MAY ?~

2011-10-14T21:11:00.002-05:00

I have a dear friend who is a poet...and she wrote this poem about Cape May, NJ...near where she lives.

VICTORIAN CAPE MAY

You will be taken back in time
In the city of Cape May.
On the southern New Jersey shore,
Where the ocean meets the bay.

The old Victorian houses
Built many years ago
Sit today in elegance
In styles that stately show.

The ornate architecture
Is amazing to behold.
The towering three-story structures
Stand sturdy and quite bold.

The inland homes of various hues
Are beautiful to see,
So colorful and exquisite,
Taking you back in history.

The gabled roofs and turrets,
Along the charming lamp-lit streets
With large porches and long fences,
Lined with graceful wrought iron seats.

It was an era like no other,
With dignity and grace.
And before your tour has ended,
You’ll fall in love with this quaint place.

A GREAT suggestion for trouble commenting on others blogs

2011-10-08T21:09:00.000-05:00

Here is a great suggestion from a fellow blogger named Julia.

"If you are unable to post comments on certain blogs, just Google the name of that blog and when the blog appears on your screen, you can leave a comment through your server.
I used Firefox and it worked very well.

Just give it a try. "

I AM SO HAPPY TO BE BACK BLOGGING

Wildfire Haze SUNSETS

2011-09-08T19:42:00.008-05:00

Can't seem to leave this image alone. Added a texture to this one.

This photo is a composite of a couple of images I had taken.

Took the bottom photograph last night... we can smell the smoke from the fires that are still burning about 20 miles away..and the smoke & HAZE was very apparent.
We are still fine.....just so concerned for others who are losing their homes.

Rose

~PRAY FOR TEXAS PLEASE

2011-09-06T22:58:00.010-05:00

These fires are within 18 to 25 miles of us now.

Many wildfires that are burning all over Texas are unfortunately making record breaking history here in the State....we live only 18 miles East of.... this fire ...that was still burning last evening.

It's like "HELL ON EARTH"...say's one fireman. ~ Not only are they dealing with all the fires, heat and exhaustion...but they can't go into many of the area's that had been burning..after sunset.. ......because of the hordes of RATTLESNAKES that are now moving around because of the fires too.
As a result....the fire crews have to wait until daylight to make sure they can SEE where they are working near the ground with their shovels, and equipment etc. the article said.
We had lunch on Tues. at an eatery..where our young waiter sadly told us his grandparents home, which he grew up in...was destroyed by the wildfires yesterday. GLADY his grandparents escaped unharmed.

My husband and I have started to pack our emergency "evacuation bags" in case we have to leave in a hurry also.

I will keep you posted .
