Mommy life: Siggy fun!

First, is it any wonder one of my pet names for this girl is Beauty?

Braska and KiKi are at Grammy's house for a few days while I have a weekend to catch up around the house and try to regain some energy and sanity (and hopefully catch up on horribly neglected blogs). Much thanks to Grammy and the gang.

Many of you are familiar with the term "siggy," referring to an image used in forums and message boards to show off your kids and announce who you are in a fun way. There are about a gazillion styles, and I'm new to learning about them, but tonight I decided to try doing one with a few particular effects I liked.

This is the first finished one. It took quite a while. The picture is actually a combination of two shots of the girls (one where K was smiling and the other had B smiling...so I tried some tricks) with some fancy Photoshop action. I am pleased with it...not bad for the first try with this method. Doesn't hurt that these girls are so darn adorable...


If anyone needs a siggy, let me know. Now that I've worked out some kinks, the next round will go much smoother and faster!

    Dear Mommy,
    I am looking at me on Grammy's computer and it is fun. We did my numbers and letters and colors first. Miss you! Braska

    i hadn't seen braska updates in TOO long and just realized she'd been zapped from my bloglist...

    how about technological competence in general...do you have some sort of intervention program?

    ooooooooooooooo....you're a clever one. TOOO cute.

    Wow! That is AWESOME! You are going to have to let me in on your secret. There have been a few heads I would've liked to have morphed on other bodies (kids and their uncooperation!) if I had the chance! I better watch my back 'cause your editing skills are great!

Happy 6 months to me!

I'm 6 months old today. Wow...it seems like a lifetime!! Mommy helped me put together a neat thing to share with you, but you should know that it's really for my dad. He's the best Pop a girl could have. Just remember, girls, he's mine and Mommy's, and we're keeping him! Hey Pop, thanks for hanging in there with us for six whole months! Go Team Woods! Make a video - it's fun, easy and free! www.onetruemedia.com

Getting ready for Idol!

Here at our house we always watch American Idol from the beginning to the end. I like all the music, and Mommy and Daddy like to make guesses on who will win. I love to sing and listen to songs and Mommy has been singing songs to me since I was a tiny baby, so we do songs every day. We're getting ready for Idol to start soon, so we've been singing extra! Last night, I thought I would do my first movie of singing time. I was in a pretty silly mood and didn't want to be still, but Mommy thought I should let you see anyway. This is the song I know the best, Jesus Loves Me, but it's not my best showing of it, that's for sure. And this is my favorite song from my FAVORITE show... Blue's Clues!!! Usually I can say Blue's Clues really nice and show the hands like Steve does, but I didn't feel like it when Mommy got the camera out. But the Mail song is always fun! (Mommy even got a word wrong but I knew my part!)
