Photo Editing App and Other Musings

I recently read a blog post by Brook, at Nesting with Grace about a really neat app she likes to use to edit her photos.  I even downloaded some Presets she has for sale at ETSY.  Check out these before and after pictures.  The beginning pictures are great in themselves, but the editing...wow.







This one is my favorite.  The snow just pops!

The app is Lightroom CC and works for iPhones and iPads, and it's FREE ya'll!

It has been a lot of fun playing with the app on my pictures.  And...here are some additional things I'd like to document at this near end-of-year post.....
Take a look at these beautiful wooden beads.  My friend made them and gave them to me for Christmas.  She is so crafty and has great farmhouse taste.  I love the simplicity of them.

Below is my work group.  Our manager took us out to eat and then to Breakout games for a team building exercise.  It was pretty fun.  Ours was Island Escape.  You are locked in a room and have various clues to figure out how to break out of the room.

My son and his family living in Cambridge, England - their Christmas photo.
Another photo I received lately, just love this one.

I did a little hand lettering on bags for gifts of bread....

The new house is coming along.  The front craftsman columns are almost finished.

This will be a screened porch and a back deck.
Most of the lights are hung, although these pendants aren't exactly right yet.. :)
We've had so much rain, it is one big mud pit there!  We are still hoping to move in by the end of January, but there still seems to be a lot left to finish up.

I am so looking forward to getting in the new quilting studio.  We are hoping someone buys our current home soon.  We put it on the market about three weeks ago.  We've had four showings but no offers yet.  The realtor is positive it will sell, I guess no one wants to look at/buy at Christmas time.  I can understand that.

I'm formulating an end of the year post but it isn't quite ready yet.  I plan to print my blog for the last couple of years so I like to do a recap of the year.  Hope you have had a good year and are evaluating your year as well, and making plans for 2019.

Thanks for stopping by!
Rachel
