How are you guys doing tonight? I just finished 6 straight hours of tutoring elementary students, and my brain is fried, but I love my job! I couldn't wait to put up a new post. Blogging is such therapy for me and helps me relax. Plus, you guys are the coolest!! It totally makes my day that you'd spend a few minutes with me. Thank you!
Now the digital goodness...
I've gotten a few emails from friends asking about Photoshop Elements tips and tricks. I am no expert, let me tell you! I did however, want to pass on to you a really cool site... Jessica Sprague. I have not taken any of her online classes yet, but I'd love to! She also has some wonderful digital products you can easily apply to photos, like the one I edited below.
Below is a picture that I took a few days ago at Catalina Island (Kahuna's parents took all of us... 8 adults and 7 grandkids all under one roof. Can you say CRAZY?!). Anyway, I just digitally water colored the picture using a few of Jessica's textures. It was seriously simple!
I love that Jessica's classes are online and "at your own pace". I hope to take one this fall. Anyone want to join me?

Big Kahuna and I have known each other since we were kids and have been married for almost 15 years. We are passionate about our family, travel and serving God. We love helping people and bringing them hope. We laugh ourselves to tears watching classic episodes of Saturday Night Live and The Office. Summer is our favorite season, and we live for warm evenings playing with the kids on the beach.
Big Surf is 14 years old. He's a voracious reader, focused, and spends hours building things. He is our resident techie and is also learning to play the violin. He loves to spend his free time playing baseball, flag football, or out on the trails by the house building his clubhouse.
Goofy Foot is ten years old. He devours his free reading books like there is no tomorrow. He is also the family comedian. If you see him, ask him to tell you a joke! He is tender-hearted, social and compliant. When he is not outside riding his bike, you'll find him drawing or writing a funny book.
Beach Bunny is three years old. She is our sunshine! She joined our family through the unbelievable gift of adoption. Beach Bunny loves to snuggle with us and carefully takes care of her baby dolls. She is super silly and must say hi to everyone! One word that describes her is "joy".

ME!! I have had her site in my favorites for probably a year and have never taken the time to really (REALLY) look at it. I need to make time to learn the things I want to learn!! That is why I depend on you :)
LOVE the picture...I wish I was there!
I wanna take it. By the way how was the remainder of our photography class?
I just missed the deadline for her last one. I am going to take the next one for sure.
Thanks for the info! Love the picture...that is one you could totally frame!! Enjoy the rest of you week!
I was just thinking about taking an on-line class!
I'll check out her site. Thanks for passing it along to us!
Cool picture!!!
Thanks for this site. I have wanted to learn more about playing with my pictures. This looks great.
I have been trying to find some classes for years!!! This seems perfect! Thank you for sharing with us! I would love to do this! I love your blog and I love your pics! :)
Your edits are beautiful!
Take Care,
Gina
OMG amazing!!! you rock!
How neat!!! I signed up for one of her classes, though I have not "taken" it, yet! I also love that it is all online and I can do it whenever I want. Now, I just need to get started!
That class sounds right up my alley! Your picture is amazing! The edit is amazing and the going there in real life I'm sure is amazing!
That is a beautiful photograph. I am sure that would look wonderful printed on a large canvas and hung on a wall somewhere.
I haven't been to Catalina Island since I was in grade school.
Wishing you a scent-sational day!
Patty
