Picnik!

Ok, so today I have decided to enlighten you on the world of Picnik! No, you don't need a basket of food, so don' t worry about those pesky little ants! Picnik is photo editing software done right in your browser window! It's super easy to use, so if you can't figure out the expensive and more technologically advanced photo editing software, such as Adobe Photoshop, this is perfect for you! (btw, I enjoy PS very much! But Picnik is quick and easy!)


There is nothing to download, everything is done in your browser. AND, most of it is free!

There are some Premium features, and you must become a member to access them. It's only $24.99 a year if you would like to join... you just get some extra stuff :)

You can do basic cosmetic touch-ups, like fixing blemishes, whitening teeth, and red-eye removal. You can also do more advanced stuff, like add text, stickers,

You can also make a Fancy Collage- which has pre-designed pages and layouts- all you have to do is supply the pictures!

You can get your pictures off of Facebook, MySpace, and Flickr, and also upload back to those sites. You can even get them off your blog :)

Here are just a few of my Picnik projects... This was my birthday dinner...

This one was made from the Fancy Collage maker...

This is just fun with borders, stickers and fonts! :)

Picnik is wonderful... you should go try it out!

Happy Blogging :)

Shopping Saturday!

So... Today was SHOPPING SATURDAY!!! I needed new contacts from Big Spring (that's where our optometrist is) and Mom needed her glasses adjusted. So Mom, Dad and I went to Big Spring and got that out of the way, then headed on to Midland to SHOP!

We ate at CHILI'S! And then we headed to Office Depot, where they were having a GREAT sale :) I got this adorable green notebook mouse on sale, wireless AND optical AND GREEN! I love it!So, we also went to Academy, and I found these PINK racquetballs, which also support breast cancer, which some very dear women in my life are battling right now, so it makes me feel good that I am supporting a cause that helps research for a cure! Plus they're pink, so I will stand out in racquetball class :)

So, my favorite purchase of all... I got a James Avery ring :) I love it :)

My mom told my sisters and I we could pick something out from James Avery quite some time ago... and when we were in the mall today, we stopped by the store and looked around. I picked this one out... it was just one of my favorites!!!

We also went to Starbucks, and I got my coffee fix :)

That's two weeks in a row!

Uh oh... I might be starting a habit!!!

Oh yeah, also went to Michael's... and I walked out of there with over 100 notecards... and I only spent $12. I love blank notecards because they are just so useful! I go through quite a few!

I better get to bed, because tomorrow we lose an hour! That's right, Daylight Savings Time... :(

Happy Blogging :)

Texas Tech Basketball

Yeah, I know it's a little late to be posting what i did this weekend... or last weekend... orwhatever. But I had such an exciting Saturday I couldn't help it! 

Kendra and I went to Raider Madness on Saturday. Tech had a presentation and served us some very delicious hamburgers! Kendra did manage to get me in a Tech shirt, but I refused to do the "guns up." (I can't help that i bleed orange!) Silly me, I forgot my camera... but Kendra did take a picture of us at the game on her phone... I picnik-ed it (which I am a huge fan of... but that's another blog-worthy subject for another time!) 

I did not root for either Tech or OU, but I did become a fan of Blake Griffin, who is an incredible basketball player for OU. He is a very intense player... once the ball was going out of bounds and he slid over and off the scorers table to get it back in... (I did get a little excited, I thought I might get to see a broken bone or two... but no one was injured) His brother Taylor is also on the team, and is an excellent player also. He ended up out-scoring Blake... but not by much. We left while there was still only two minutes left in the game, and OU ended up beating Tech, 78-63.

We then went to the mall, and our mission was simple... get new rings for our piercings! I got my cartilage pierced again a couple of weeks ago, so I can't put mine in yet, but I got a green ring and the ball that closes it is green also. So, I took the ball out of my original ring and put the green one in! It's so cute :)

Then we went and saw "He's Just Not That Into You"... such a cute movie! It was great! 

We finished the night by going to STARBUCKS! It was amaaaaazing... Manhattan is as close as I get to Starbucks on a regular basis... but it is not the same! I looooove coffee!!

So, that was my weekend... and now it's almost time for another one! 

Happy blogging :)

Hello!

Ok, so, I had to give in, and join the blogging world. I feel kinda weird doing it, because most blogs are mommies who have cute little children. I am not a mommy (nor do I plan on becoming one anytime soon) so I don't have any cute little children of my own... but I do have the most adorable niece and nephews. :) 

So how do I start off my newly created blog? Well, I guess I'll start with myself first. Education. I am a sophomore in college, a Liberal Studies major. Why Liberal Studies, you ask? That's what they give you when you are indecisive about a major, and decide to change 2,496 times. Yes, you read that correctly. I am a very indecisive person. I won't even go into my major choices... but I mainly switched between teaching and diet & nutrition. What is my major now? Radiology. Yeah, I don't know how I ended up with that either... 

Work. I work at a church. I am an administrative assistant for our Preschool, Children, and Youth Ministers. Yes, I have 3 bosses, which can get a little hectic sometimes! But my bosses are great and I am blessed to have such understanding bosses! They are very willing to work around my school schedule. :)

So I must continue with my monotonous daily tasks... but I'll be back soon!

Happy blogging :)
