What I've been doing in my spare time...

Well, some of it anyway! I am loving digital scrapping and learning a lot about photoshop elements along the way. This helps me in my job, so i'm quite happy! I've submitted LOs for a couple of other challenges: don't expect to win anything or be most popular, but i do like both of these.


Could it be?
I went walking in Atkins Pick Ur Own Orchard for pictures. As i was walking back towards my car, taking pictures of people's legs through the trees, I rounded a row and saw this little tree at the end of a row, surrounded by trees bearing lots of fruit, but none as beautiful as the fruit of this tree. I was sort of scared to go up to it--there HAD to be a big snake around! I took pictures, but i did not touch!

Remembering Jones Beach
The journaling tag explains most. You'll notice we're in plaids, and my brother has on a tie--dad had taken us out of school for the afternoon and taken us to Coney Island and Jones Beach.
