My Weekend, A New Handbag and More Camera Talk!

Okay, so I had a busy weekend. First of all it was Hunter's 12th birthday, so we had a little dinner for him and I talked Shelby into taking photos of him with her "Good" Camera....a Canon Rebel xS These were shot with a 75-300mm zoom lens..Then on the top photo she used a "soft and faded" action on Photoshop to create the affect.
And isn't he handsome? On the wall in my foyer is where I have pictures of all the children. Ashlie, Shelby, Jami, and Tyler's pictures are their senior ones, but the picture of Hunter is one from his 4th birthday :Eight years made quite a difference.

Bless his little heart, isn't he the cutest thing you've ever seen? Anyway, I guess it is time to update the photo on my wall, so I am going to choose one, I love the serious one, but his smile is so precious that I may have to choose the one at the top.

The one below Shelby did using some silly Photoshop filter....but it is still adorable.....
Next, yesterday, Shelby MADE ME (I think she forgot who the mother is!) design a messenger bag. She was in dire need of one, or so she said, and she wasn't leaving until I had made her one!
So, here is the new bag on lfwdesigns.com- the Shelby Messenger, modeled by the gorgeous Jami...You can find all the particulars about the new bag here.

And, just because I didn't want Tyler to feel left out, Shel also photographed him, this is with the soft and faded Photoshop action as well....

My weekend was capped off with Tyler singing two solos at church yesterday, and I know I am biased when I say this, but he was AWESOME.

Now its Monday and time to get back to work....I have a purse party tomorrow evening and am busy getting some new things ready for it....
Y'all have a good day,
Laura
PS: I am still trying to convince Karl (and myself) that I really need the new camera....although I think I want a Nikon (don't tell Shelby!) :)
