Hi Everyone, I am sitting here by the fantastic fire my husband built for me in the family room where I seem to be staying on these cold days. I know I am in Florida but if the temperature drops below 80 I pull out the sweater and socks so imagine how cold I must feel with the temperature in the 50's. BRRRR!!!! Thank goodness for the invention of laptops as it makes it possible for me to work in front of a fire as my pc is not even close the family room where the fireplace is. I just finished uploading some new scrapbooking cutting files for your Valentine Projects so be sure to check out my website http://kimscraftyscraps.com/ February is buy one get one month at the same or lesser vaue. Oh, yea, I forgot to mention that my three very needy daschunds have been keeping warm by sitting in my lap in front of the fire while I work. I am serious!! It is a challenge to type with all of them on me but they are fun!! In this photo, I got a break as they decided I was not close enough to the fire to suit them.

Photography Tips - Face Shadows

Taking good photos. Shadows on the faces always seem to be an issue. First, take your time when taking the photo, dont rush, I know we all take those "quickie" photos to capture the moment but look and make sure that the hat is not covering the face, make sure the hats come off, get turned to the sign and not shadow the face. Also, always use a flash even outdoors in the bright sunlight as this will help reduce the shadows on the face.
