Hope everyone is enjoying the start of their Thanksgiving holiday. I kicked off mine by baking pies and listening to holiday tunes. Its not cold here yet, but I'm hoping the cold front arriving tomorrow will bring on the holiday spirit a our house :)
Holiday Cards
November 23, 2010
I really want to send out holiday photo cards this year. I wanted to send them out last year too (a good excuse to use our wedding photos). But after the wedding, time seemed to disappear and before I knew it, the new year had arrived. So this year, we're absolutely taking a family portrait (Oso and Kingsley included) and sending them to our loved ones.
Although I've never ordered from Shutterfly, I've heard many good things about them from people who have. I'm in the process of organizing an anniversary photo album through their site and just need to find the time to finish it! In addition to photo books, they do photo printing, calendars, and they have a great selection of cards.
Here are some of my holiday favorites:
I like that 10% of the sales of this card are donated to the American Lung Association. I think it would be a great way to include pictures of us from throughout the year.

Love the simplicity of this one:
And I like these because they're a little more colorful and festive:
Now I just need to decide on which one I like best!

Photoshop
November 22, 2010
So, I finally purchased my sweet sister purchased photoshop CS5 with her student discount and is letting me borrow it (permantly). I had a really really old version before this (version 7, anyone?), so it's nice having software that other people actually use. Also I thought it was time to invest in some nice software to pair with my DSLR camera. I had a lot of fun Thursday, going through the Pioneer Woman's photoshop page and practicing the tutorials. I know it's going to take some time and effort, but I think I would rather learn through this method as opposed to taking a class. I like the idea of going at my own pace, at my own time.
So my question is this: What other online photoshop tutorials have you found helpful?

The Weekend in Review
November 21, 2010
Friday night X and I went to the IMAX to see Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. So long awaited and so good! I've read the books a number of times and I was impressed with the way the events were portrayed. Although I do wish there would have been more coverage on Fleur's wedding :)
Saturday was spent lounging around the house. On Sunday we had lunch at the Salt Lick and caught up with a good friend of ours. And finally we ended the weekend by visiting our parents and watching our Sunday night shows. A very nice weekend, overall. I'm looking forward to a cold front later this week and, of course, Thanksgiving!!
