Adobe Photoshop Elements 8...Plus Photo Essentials...

I am soooo excited about my new software I just purchased for my self...I finally bought Adobe Photoshop Elements 8...then in the box was an add-on called Photo Essentials. So I bought that too. AND LOVING IT! (So Far) Here is my very first creation using the add-on.

This is my sons car...the original...

I first used "Frame It" and then I used "Make it Better"
Next "Make it Cool" (I choose the Cartoon Effect)
Then I turned it Black & White with the "Make it Cool" again.There are so many options with this add-on...I think it was worth every PENNY!!!

The Feeling of Fall...

Over at I should be Folding Laundry last week she had a post on the Feeling of Fall...So I thought I'd play along and post a few pictures of things that remind me of Fall...

Every fall one of my sisters and one of my sister-in0laws get together and help my dad can Sauer Kraut. Yes...Sauer Kraut. This is one of our Favorite things. I liked it so much that at my wedding 17 years ago my mom made me some to eat at the reception. Mmmm!

Then there is Cross Country...The only thing a golf course is good for! Just teasing.
