This & That Thursday

- I finally bit the bullet a few days ago and bought a premium membership for Picnik.com.   Not that it was a big bullet to bite really – only $24.95 for an entire year.  I’ve been having a ball playing with all the great features!  Picnik is Photoshop for Dummies – very simple and easy to use.

There’s an app to get rid of your wrinkles, add highlights to your hair, spice up your eye colour, paint on some lipstick and so much more.

Here’s a before and after I did of some random child in Mexico:

I tinted the background, whitened her teeth, highlighted her hair and covered up the bathing suit.  This was one of my first attempts, but still a pretty decent end result.  The trick is to start with a high quality photo, zoom in and then make your changes.

- Our oldest daughter now has her learner’s license as of this past Monday.  I can’t believe that my little baby is old enough to drive – it blows me away.  So far Gold River has nothing to worry about as her Dad has not let her drive  out of the arena parking lot.  Much to her dismay of course!

- Mi esposo and I will be heading to Puerto Vallarta again next week.  Just the two of us – no kids, no parents.  The recent deal out of Comox was just too good to resist.  Plus I still haven’t sent our friend Nacho the pictures I promised him, so I guess he’ll get them hand delivered!  And truth be told, we have never had a honeymoon, so 15 years later is about time!

- My inbox is full of comments/suggestions/inquiries about a local Skate Park.  Opinions are most welcome.  To ensure a high number of comments, this imaginary Skate Park will probably have a fence surrounding it, and a great deal of dog poop…..
