Clothing Lot

I am selling off some of my daughters clothing items on eBay in a LOT.  Not sure how that will go... we will see!
I started the auction at 9.99 and have 16 items.  I have a lot more to list, but want to see how this goes first.  I will let you know if its worth the effort.  It took awhile to put it together. Here are a few items that are part of the lot.  If you'd like to check out the listing to see how I did it you can find it here.

This is the gallery photo that I put together in Picasa using the collage feature.  I love to use that feature for my gallery pictures.  I will let you know how the auction went in a latter post once it is over.  Until then Have a great week!

Photo Editing Part 2

Hi everyone! Sorry for the long delay! The last post I made was on photo editing. I have been so busy I haven't had a chance to write another post until now.  The last post made was here in case you want to go back and see.
What I wanted to share with you today is about settings on your camera.  I have a Sony Cyber Shot, it is nothing fancy! I had to read up on how to use the settings on my camera.  The ones that I have found to be most useful to me in what I'm doing are the EV settings.  As I was writing this post I decided to see if I could find a way to explain this to you.  Well...I found a site that does a much better job than me.  So... I am going to share this link with you and you can go to TableTop Studio and see what I'm talking about.  They even have an interactive demonstration.  Cool!

One other thing that I adjust is my light setting. On my camera it has a place to set it to fluorescent, incandescent, Daylight, Night time etc. All these things helped me to achieve my desired results. It did take me awhile playing around with them, but I finally did learn.

Picasa FREE Photo Editing

logo Picasa

I have had a lot of people ask me how I edit my photos.  Well today I’m going to give away my secret! I use Picasa. Picasa is a FREE photo editing software that is installed on your computer and you can use it anytime.  That is mostly what I use.  I sometimes use another tool that I did buy called Bling It!  I mainly use this one to take out the backgrounds of photos if I think they would look better. You can try Bling It out for a 15 day trial. That is not all there is to my photo taking, you’ll have to come back for part 2.  Follow me with Googles friend connect to stay updated, I will be sure to follow you back!

Have a lovely day!
