A Capture Life Necklace from Cinnamon Sticks ($42 value)

Wow, Canela is a true inspiration.  She is a mom of six who creates classy, elegant jewelry.  Please, take a moment and visit her Cinnamon Sticks on Etsy.

________________________________________________________________________________________________

A spot in an Online Workshop for Photoshop and Photoshop Elements from Mom Tried It ($75 value)

I can’t say enough good things about Kim and her desire to generate more funds through her workshops, so she can capture photos and provide prints for foster children.  Kim is not only a mom to 3 biological children, but she is a foster mom and photographer.  She has combined her two loves and is bringing you an online workshop as a result.

If you have Photoshop or Photoshop Elements, but are still struggling to use it to it’s fullest potential take a moment to check out what Kim offers through her workshop.

Yes, you read that correctly.  HelloCanvas has agreed to give away 3, 24X32 canvas prints.  I received a 20×28 canvas. It is HUGE and I love it. It is very well made and it turned out great. Shipping was quick and it came well packaged. You can also find Hello Canvas on Facebook and Twitter.

 There will be three different winners chosen. That means there will be 5 different winners!

Here are my favorites.

I love how you can see all of his freckles and his cute little smile.

Love this sweet photo of Carsyn from his Pirate Party.

Love this photo of all my boys. They are adorable together.

He is such a handsome 4 year old.

He still loves swinging. I love his wild hair here.

Carsyn’s first day of school a few days late. Th Carsyn’s first day of school a few days late. The teachers say he seems happy to be back. This would technically be his 8th grade but we will probably hold him back a few years in middle school before we move him up to high school. Of course they are “virtual” tomorrow and possibly Friday because of the hurricane/tropical storm. Then Labor Day on Monday. So he probably won’t be back again until Tuesday.
Dustyn started 10th grade on Monday! Only 2 more f Dustyn started 10th grade on Monday! Only 2 more first day of school photos to go. 😭

He committed to working out and bulking this Summer and made some huge gains. Swipe to see his last day of school photo in June. We are so proud of him.

Another one that needs a hair cut and he has been bugging me about it. 🤣 Didn’t really notice how long it was until I compared it to the other photo. Prestyn had a great year and has made some amazing friends. He can’t wait to start 2nd grade next year.
