I wanted to share one of my favorite valentines cards with you. My 10 year old son wrote these in school inside of a big heart; he gave them to me for Valentines day...kind of reminded me of the "25 random things about me" that is circulating on FB...only sooo much better! Number 10 cracks me up....how random?! How delightful. I cherish the honesty, innocence and naivety kids' possess...makes me wish that as they (we) age, those qualities wouldn't get lost. Sometimes they do not.

Gimp...how do i love thee, let me count the ways....you bring my pictures to life. you are fun. time flies when i am with you....my boyfriend recently downloaded gimp 2.6 and from the moment i opened this application on my desktop it was love at first click. Seriously. An evening hardly goes by that i don't open it up and fool around with it a bit (warning-can be rather addicting). If you have never used it, you should give it a try, plus it is free! Just google gimp 2.6....And you can do sooo many cool things with your pictures...my favorites are the soft glow filter and the fuzzy border...take a look at some of my gimp handy work!
