I was taking pictures and I couldn't STOP


























We had lots of fun taking pictures today. Everyone wanted their picture taken. "Miss Kathy take my picture. Miss Kathy take a picture of me." They were really cute.
I posted pictures from yesterday and today. Max is back from vacation so you will see lots of hugs and kissing. He loves to hug and give kisses to everyone. He came back talking a lot. I think Dani and Max are seeing who can ask me more questions. Joseph and Joshua are seeing who can scream louder. Paige and I keep reminding everyone to use their inside voice. We even tell the dogs to use their inside voices.
We had a great puppet show today. (Thanks Emily & Daniel the kids loved the show) . We played SPA day and soaked our hands and feet in water. We even rested with eye covers (?) on.
It's been a while since we took our group photo. Since everyone was in a good mood, I decided we could line them up on the couch and give it a try. I think they turned out pretty good.
Of course my favorite thing to do is PLAY KITTENS. So every one got whiskers and a little black nose. We had lots of fun crawling around meowing. And Joshua kept yelling KITTY, KITTY!!!!! When he came close he would give me a huge hug and kiss. So I didn't mind him screaming.
I've been asked several times about my camera and printer. I do print 8 X 8 pictures at home. I have a HP Photosmart D7360. I love it because it has 6 different ink cartridges. I usually run out of yellow first. So I just have to replace one color instead of all the colors. I'm pretty sure there is a newer model out. I print on Kodak Photo Paper, mattte. I also upload photos and scrapbook pages to Creative Memories Photo center http://www.cmphotocenter.com/ . The more pages you print, the price goes down. And I print lots of pages. I use the Creative Memories Story Book Plus to make all my digital scrapbook pages. They do have a free version. You could play with.

I decided to sell Creative Memories a couple years ago. I love the product and I get a discount on what I purchase. So now I can purchase more. HA HA!
I take pictures with my Canon Rebel XTi. I use a 28-200 lens. I can use the same lens for just about everything. ( I have to thank Sarah and her family for showing me the lens. I love it!). I also use a Speedlite 430EX for flash.
Several families asked about printing the scrapbook pages. I'm going to look into uploading the pages onto my photo center so you can print them from Creative Memories if you want to. I think you would be able to print them in a book. Plus coffee mugs, t-shirts etc. I will still give you the pictures and pages monthly on a card reading or disc. And of course, you can always print them off the blog.
Please send me e-mail addresses. kschmitt4@tampabay.rr.com I did lose them all when my computer crashed. You can also become one of my followers. You will get an e-mail when I post. I'm doing a pretty good job keeping you updated. Leave me comments so I know you're looking at the blog . I smile everytime I read a comment.
