Kids and photos...

I somehow imagined I could get all these excited cherubs 

to sit on the couch for a photo...

Silly Mummy!

Magic tricks...

Our friend, Little Miss E, came to play last week after school. 

They decided to put on a magic show.

Various people disappeared and reappeared!

Then her Daddy showed up and taught them how to make a coin disappear too!

They were thrilled!

On a different note, let me blatantly use my blog to promote a cause:

Funding for Clinical Trials into Type1 Diabetes

You can sign an electronic petition here.

Photo editing...

I was having a chat the other day about photo editing,

and reminded myself that I hadn't yet played with Picnik.

I came across Picnik on a few blogs and comments lately.

So I checked it out and made this cute shot in about 10 minutes of playing.

I did some cropping, played with the colour a little,

made it look like a Polaroid, added the flower border,and finally the title.

I saved it to my computer, but it was interesting trying to upload it to the blog...

it wanted to turn it sideways for some reason - not sure why!

So I went back to my usual free photo software, Picasa,

and made it into a collage (like I usually do for blog photos ;)

Looks like I'll have to play with Picnik some more yet!

In the park...

Thanks for a lovely birthday party! Most of these were taken by Little Miss!
