Sam's Before and After

This is a clear example of the type of photo that makes a good candidate for artifying. The pose is perfect but the items in the background are distracting and the overall lighting is too dark.


Here is the "artified" version. Now it's frame worthy! He is sooo cute!

Giuseppe

Oh what a sweet, SWEET boy. We were blessed this past week to have Aixa, Sal and G visiting. I hope G-man never tires of visiting Yaya and Papa. I love how he walks around the house looking for ways to get into trouble. It's more of a saunter than a walk but clearly he prowls for trouble. Whenever his daddy or mommy go to get him he takes off running and boy is he fast. This was a rare moment where he sat long enough for me to snap the photo.

Acorn

Today the latest Acorn scandal broke. Last night was the Joe Wilson outburst. How is it possible Joe trended higher than Acorn? The mainstream media as expected - absent! They are just as corrupt as Acorn and Obama: LIAR IN CHIEF, dear Lord watch over us.

Tee shirts from zazzle

If you're looking for a cute t-shirt to wear for the 9-12 march on Washington scoot on over to my zazzle store. This design looks great on all sorts of items too.

Sweet baby boy and beautiful mommy.

Political Leanings

No doubt which way I lean. But this piece got me thinking...I posted it on my FB asking for ideas. Then I hesitated thinking so many of my friends and family members might be offended. It's not the first time I've hesitated. Sometimes I'll go ahead and post and other times I scrap the piece altogether. I tell myself those who are my friends will still be my friends regardless. The ones who let politics override their feelings for me aren't really friends in the first place, right? Long time ago I wouldn't have given it a second thought. Tough, was my attitude! Typical secular world view. I no longer feel that way. I do care! And I pray that those I love will love me back despite my political leanings.
