Aiden Daniel ~ The First Year

My grandson, Aiden, turned one on September 21st.

I made this video using photos I've taken this past year. :)

iPiccy Online Photo Editor

Since I've been taking more photos lately to post on my blog, I was in need of a photo editing site...one where I could resize, crop and tweak my photos.

I've also read on a lot of people's blogs how their beloved Picnik will no longer be available. Having never used Picnik, I can't compare to it, but what I have been using is very simple, has a wide variety of options for photos and doesn't require you to download anything.

I've been using iPiccy online photo editor, and so far I love it. Two things that I liked right away is first, like I said, it is very easy, and second...it doesn't change your original photo. Once you make changes, you name it, decide where to save it, and your original photo stays unchanged in it's original folder.

With iPiccy you can crop, resize, change hue and saturation, change and enhance colors, retouch, add text, and apply many different effects.

Below are some of the photo effects that can be achieved. I chose this photo because it has a lot of bright colors, and you can see what  kind of changes can be made to the human face.

Here is another photo, and I applied the HDR photo effect on it:

I'm still looking around for other photo editors, but for now this one has everything I need. I've also seen that people have been blogging about PicMonkey, but have not yet checked this one out.

Have you found something that you like better, something with more features? Let me know in a comment, I love hearing from you.

Have a great day!

A bowl full of lemons ~ My Girlish Whims ~ Sassy Sites!

(not so) Special K(at)

So earlier this morning, I'm sitting in the living room, and I hear something hit the floor in the kitchen. I look up and over towards the counter....no one is there. So I get up to see what it could have been. 

This is what I see when I get there:

Now no one is in the room, so I immediately start taking inventory of the animals. 

Zeus is still on the couch, apparently too busy watching tv to have done it.

Cosmo is too fat to jump that high, and has not yet gotten out of bed today.

I start looking for my other cat, Diego. I don't see him wandering around anywhere, so I go to look in his favorite sleeping spot...under my dresser. Since I was too lazy to get down on my knees to see if he was there...I just kind of held the camera down and snapped a photo. I look at the photo....nothing.

(no idea what kind of junk that is under there...I'll deal with that later)

It's not until I walk back into the living room, that I see him.

Laying under my coffee table, giving me a dirty look.

He apparently hightailed it out of the kitchen after knocking down the Special K and tried to act as if he hadn't done anything wrong.

I'll be watching him.

So now I can go sweep up the mess and .....heeeeeeeyyyy....wait a minute.....

Oh YAY.......COUPONS!!!!

And how was YOUR morning??  :)

Photo Shoot with my Grandson

My grandson was in a good mood this morning and full of facial expressions, so I snapped a few photos.

Then I had to play around with them on iPiccy.

I love the different things you can do with this online photo editor.

When I first turned the camera on:

After I said "Gramma's coming to get you!"

Here he is waiting for the flash:

I love this one. I think Mom walked by and he got excited.

Now he just woke up from a 2 hour nap and is all charged up and ready to crab. Haha!
