Cousins and a Little Paint the Moon

I recently purchased Photoshop Elements 9 (PSE9) and a whole ton of actions (all available for PSE) from Paint the Moon Photography.  I'm finally at a place where I can play a little with some images that have been rather patiently standing by :)

(My daughter and niece while we were shopping)

Thanks was given, we are blessed!

We had a wonderful holiday! We got to visit my sister and hang out with her family :)  With enough food to kill an elephant, yet I survived, hmmm.  I did sorta work it off though.  I took my eldest daughter and niece out for BLACK FRIDAY! We actually started at 9pm at Toys R Us and ended, pooped out at the house at 6am! The girls said they wanted to experience what it was all about. They experienced it all right, lol!

We had AMAZING fun, even with the drizzle, then sleet, then more drizzle outside of Kohl's :D Found lots of great bargains and have quite a bit of shopping finished. I'm paying a small price, the snuffles and sniffles abound in my nasal cavity but a small price none-the-less.

Now on to plan the family vacation...... God has answered my prayer. Hannah and I (and the others too) have dreamed of heading to Maryland to visit my brother. Our kids haven't seen each other for 7yrs :( We didn't know how but knew God would bless us some way and answer this prayer. He has :) My hubby is willing to take 2wks off (second vacation since starting the pest biz almost 9yrs ago) and we are DRIVING to Maryland! We will see NY and hoping to see my other nieces in NJ, Aunt from Boston and cousin (with new ADORABLE baby Sam) in Rhode Island.

PRAISE and thanksgiving be to God, my heavenly Father who wants to give good gifts to His children :D
