Snow Day

At 5:08 this morning I got the robo-call, or rather Dream Boy did.

No school due to adverse weather conditions.

Ten minutes later my principal called me and told me the same thing.

So I drifted back into my dream land for a few hours.

A winter storm warning had been issued yesterday and we were likely to see 3-6 inches of white stuff on our edge of the storm, but the further west you head (towards the lakeshore) the worse it gets.

After some coffee and blog reading Miss Libbi The Wonder Dog and I headed outside with camera, tri-pod and soccer ball.

I took lots of pics and have spent the afternoon playing with my Photoshop.  I've been watching tutorials and just clicking at this & that trying to get a grip on this program.  I've learned, like with anything else technology related, that I just have to dive in & click away.  Somewhere there is usually an "undo" button to undo what you just did.  Also, it helps to play on a copy too.

Here is one of my favorite outcomes of my clicking away...

Oh.my.goodness!

I'm in love - truly in love with the after!

Oh the possibilities!  I'm so excited to learn even more.  I am actually going to get private lessons from one of our teachers who teaches this stuff at school sometime this next week.

I guess it's the little things, but oh they amount to such BIG happiness!
