New and Improved

Well, it is time. After much demand for updated information, we have created a new blog for both Blake and myself. If you would like to continue in the saga of our lives, join in at jessnblake.blogspot.com. See you there!!

Okay, I'm addicted...

And to prove the previously mentioned addiction.... Here are a few more of my latest projects.

A bit of color change...


A switch of backgrounds...


A bit of a learning experience, but fun!


Just a slight touch with the colors (nothing with the water though)...

Enjoy! :)

Photoshop Fun

So, lately I've been exploring the wonderful world of Photoshop. I think I've become addicted, but running out of the simple options to play with. Yeah, definitely not great at it, but I had some fun with a few of the cool options and wanted to share a few, so here you go.

A little Mary Poppins reminicent....


From a photo too dark to really see anything, but gorgeous when played with...


One of Blake's favorites...


A funky painted/drawn look...


And an oh so sweet one. My second favorite.

Hope you enjoy, and no, I won't quit my day job just yet... Give it a month. :)

He Asked.....

And I said YES!

So everyone has an update, yes, it happened! :)  I got to Australia on Wednesday morning and was proposed to that night.  It wasn't exactly expected on either sides, but as he was vocalizing some oh so sweet words, it flowed naturally to that point.  Of course he couldn't use his best material and not ask. :)  It was at his house and not what he had planned on doing, so he proposed again on Friday as he initially intended.  Who could ask for more?  Two proposals in one week!  He's lucky I said yes both times. ;)

The second proposal was a good romantic setting of the beach at night.  The water was black with the waves crashing in white with the light sandy beaches.  There was a cool breeze and amazing stars.  I couldn't have asked for anything better.

As for the rest of the trip, it's been a lot of fun with a trip to a wild animal sanctuary (where I was able to hold a koala and baby crocodile, pet kangaroos, and feed Lorakeets), Wet and Wild, and Australian Spectacular.  That's all in 4 days!  I can't wait to see what the rest of the trip brings.  Pictures and more to come (other than the ring of course).
