New addictions

I have a new addiction and I’m having a blast with it. 

Digital scrapbooking…….

I thought I would share some of my layouts.AddieDragonpageducksGrannieMCRaceforthecureSimbaTorigrad

I’ve been learning a lot about Photoshop in the process and what I can do in it. Now I’m thinking I need to start taking more pictures.  One addiction leads to another. Oh well………

 

Test Run

I saw this recipe for Blue Velvet cupcakes and I had this idea for Tori’s graduation party.

Blue and Orange cupcakes!

So I did a test run today with making the blue velvet cupcakes with the orange cream cheese frosting.

So far Dana’s eaten 3 of them, so they must be OK Smile

Note:  I’m not a cake decorator, so my swirling frosting isn’t so perfect.

I’m going to decorate the tops with these cute peanut butter cup graduation hats.hats

I think these are going to be so VERY cute.

Playing with Photoshop

RyanBday

I’ve been playing with using storyboard templates in photoshop.  I’m finding that it’s works well in photobooks too,  You can display a lot of pictures in a story book, but when you place them in a photobook they are just one pictures. Here is a couple of them that I did.

I did it!!!!!!!!! I made it to One-derland.  How sweet it is.  I’m now down 22 pounds and feeling great.  Reached my 2nd goal and went shopping for a new outfit.

New Goal – is to lose 12 pounds, that will put me at 187.  This will put me on the BMI scale as no longer obese (just overweight).

Reward – A trip to Tai Pan to get whatever I love for $50.00.

Happy Easter!

Love you all ~ Mitzi

Tori’s new job

My amazing daughter just fell in to the best job, even before she graduated.  In December, so got a part time student job a Boise State in the athletic financial office.  Well in February they posted for a new full time position in the same office, so she applied for it, thinking there wouldn’t be any way she would get it, but to her surprise she did.  She is so excited, she will start in that position the end of March.  It’s an amazing job for someone straight out of college.

The benefits are out of this world.  The salary isn’t bad either.

  • 5 weeks of vacation to start
  • Two tickets to all the BSU games
  • Health insurance
  • Pension plan

She is going to have to work hard for two months, because they want her full time and she still will have school to finish, but she tough, she can handle it.

Next time you see her give her a congrats!!!!

Love you ALL ~~ Mirzi
