Pumpkin Fairy House

Recipes for Healthy Living Cookbook from Zazzle.com
UPDATE: Thank You Zazzle for awarding me with an Honorable Mention in the recipe binder contest.
Zazzle has teamed up with Avery Binders to offer a recipe design contest. I was able to get my entry completed and entered in the nick of time. Deadline to enter was November 2nd at 11:59 PT.
I love making patterns in photoshop and I thought it would be fun to make a pattern out of fruits and vegetables. I created simple food shapes in illustrator (orange, banana, peas, broccoli, tomato, and bread) and then imported them into Photoshop and created a pattern with them.
There are a lot of great entries out there. To check out all the other entries, just click on my product link below and then in the search field on the top of the page, type in zazzleaveryrecipecontest2009

The best gifts are from the heart
Sometimes the best gifts are from the heart. Recently my daughter gave me one of those types of gifts. First I have to tell a little back story...
A few weeks ago, my mom emailed me at work to tell me that she and my dad are going to Hawaii. She's afraid of flying over the water and is very nervous about going. (Does it really matter if you are over water or land? You're likely to die either way, right?) I didn't tell my mom that, but instead, I wrote back to tell her that if she chickens out I'd go in her place!
Later that day, I'm picking up my 2 kids at daycare and my husband calls me on my cell to tell me that my mom had called at home. She wanted to know if we wanted to go to Hawaii with them. Immediately I yell "YES!!" into the phone. Then my husband says, "Tickets are $700 a piece." Yikes, $2,800 for the 4 of us to go! Dang, not going to happen. After I get off the phone I say out loud to my kids, "Mommy is sad that we won't get to go to Hawaii"
After a moment, my 4 yr old daughter says she is going to make a surprise for me when we get home. I managed to get her to tell me what the surprise was going to be when we got home, but when we got home we all got sidetracked. Until a few days ago...
That day, I was working late trying to finish up a big project. My kids were still up when I got home though and all excited to show me something in the living room. I was instructed to close my eyes as they dragged me upstairs.
When I opened my eyes, the living room was transformed and my daughter announced "We're in Hawaii!" My sweet adorable daughter created Hawaii for me because I was sad about not going for real!
The first thing I saw was her bedspread spread out on the floor. "That's the ocean" my daughter tells me. Next was another blanket draped over the arm of the couch. "That's the waterfall." A stack of baskets with another blanket draped over it was a coconut tree and the 2 balled up belts on top were the coconuts. The stack of cushions with a red fleece blanket on top was the volcano.
Her eyes shining with excitement, she then brought me over to the dining room area (which isn't actually used for dining as we have no dining room table). She informed me that we needed to go on the plane to fly to Hawaii. She had her Ikea table set up with cushions on it (our seats), her sit 'n spin was the "wheel" of the plane. She also had her magnadoodle propped up against a chair to display the picture of a plane that she drew on it.
My daughter and I sit on the table/seats while my son got on the sit n spin/wheel and "flew" us to Hawaii. I let them stay up way past their bedtime so we could enjoy our "vacation" take lots of pictures.
When I finally got them off to bed, I told my daughter that was the best gift ever!

Giving Back - A silent auction to help out a little girl in need
A very talented photographer friend of mine has started a silent auction to help out a little girl in need. Zoe was diagnosed with trisomy18 and she was not expected to live past the first few months of life. She has made it past 6 months and is still fighting to live.
My friend has taken photographs of Zoe and her family and just started a silent auction to raise money to help out the family with some of their mounting medical bills. Please take a look at her blog. http://aglimpseintomyworld.blogspot.com/
You can help by bidding on any one of the fabulous items up for auction or by donating an item yourself. I have donated an 8x10 portrait drawing rendered from one photograph. See auction #6.

Photoshop brushes patterns backgrounds
I have rediscovered my love of photoshop brushes, patterns and textures. I created this birth announcment with my new stripes pattern and 2 background textures. 
To celebrate halloween I used my wacom tablet and photoshop to draw a witch, which I put on my new scratchy background and made into a card. Hope you have a boo-tiful halloween!
