****MY DADDY PICS!! --- Better Late Than Never!!!****

[Corie]

*****Edited to delete pictures.*****
I'm such a procrastinator but I finally got them done!!
And, with Jo's expertise, she turned the pictures into
a masterpiece.

I actually did two different versions. First, I mounted
the DADDY pictures in the 5-slot picture frame from Linens-n-Things
to hang at home. Second, Jo created the panoramic version
for me to frame so my husband could take it to work. I loved
what she did for Natalie (BargainMomforLuke).

Thank you so much, Jo for all your help!! You are AWESOME!! :)

[randomkid]

Love it!! That is too cute. I like the background a lot - wallpaper? I still have to get ours in the frame, so you are doing better than me. I also just posted mine.

I thought of the Photoshop idea in a panoramic frame also (for work). Can you tell me how Jo did it? I have a friend who is a professional photographer and he would do it for me. I just need to know what I want. However, he has been really sick, so I might be asking Jo for her services as well.

Obviously, he won't be getting that one until after Father's Day!

Your DC's personalities really shine through in these pics. Why is it the "y" shots are always the best? :-)

[karolyp]

I LOVE them!!! Especially the Y pic - that is tooo precious!! Corie, your kids are BEAUTIFUL!!!

Thanks for sharing them! And I agree wholeheartedly (how in the world do you spell that?) - Jo is WONDERFUL!!

[Corie]

Yep, the background is the wallpaper in our master bathroom.
It was the only place that I could close the door and keep
everyone together. We had tried it outside the day before
and it was nightmare. Plus, it was way too hot!!

The middle picture was taken on a chair in our bedroom.
Knox was starting to get mad, see the "Y" picture. (I think
the picture is pretty funny!)

So, on a last ditch effort, I sat Knox in the chair in our
bedroom. He perked up enough to get a few more shots.
That's the reason for the different background on the one
picture!

Honestly, I have no idea how Jo did what she did!! I just
emailed her the 5 pictures in order and she created it. :)
Jo is incredibly talented and extremely nice to offer up
her Photoshop abilities. :)

[Corie]

I had some other "Y" shots of my daughter that turned out
really cute but I thought this one was funny. :)
Plus, I liked that it included both of them.

I don't remember seeing your "Daddy" pictures!! Did I miss
them??

I think they got lost in another thread. Here's a link http://www.windsorpeak.com/dc/dcboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=37&topic_id=328851&mesg_id=330275&page=4

Erica,

I love them!! I like how you took pictures of her
arm, her body, etc. That is really cool !!

You did a great job!! And your daughter is so cute! :)

P.S. I understand the desperation part!!

[elliput]

Thank you! The center pic was the first I took, and I had such high hopes until I realized she was bookin' to get to the slide. :P I was by myself so I just did the best I could!

[bostonsmama]

My favorite is the "Y"!! Gotta love the reality shots! Yes, and your children are so adorable. Your DH is gonna love it!

BTW, I ((heart)) your wall paper in the background. It is so cute. I have a strip in my dining room of beige diamonds (harlequin style...was going to do the whole wall as an accent but got lazy, so one strip it is!). Anyways, just had to tell ya.

The "Y" photo is like all our family photos...my brother and I smiling as big as we can, and my baby sister screaming in the middle, lol.

Great job!

[Corie]

Larissa,

I have to tell you that the wallpaper makes me a little
crazy! Sometimes, when I'm standing there drying my hair
and I'm just staring at the wallpaper, I totally start
to get dazed and confused. Usually, I just sit down on
the rug to dry my hair so I don't lose my balance and fall over!! :)

[calv]

Oh Corie, the kids are gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!! :) Where did you get the letters? I LOVE of your final project. NICE WORK. :D

The last picture is too funny.

I can totally relate to this. One of my bathrooms has green plaid wallpaper (installed by previous owner). I have now gotten used to it (I don't stare at it or even look), but being in there was surely an experience at first. One day I will take it down, until then I will try to ignore it. :-)

Corie, I adore the Y picture! It reminds me of my youth somehow and makes me think of the days when my older sister tormented me to tears with an angelic smile on her face! LOL I'm sure that's not the case there, but it's so funny. Carson's definitely into pictures! That's great! :)

[Corie]

Carson is constantly tormenting Knox! He is usually a pretty
good sport but he was tired of it. She kept taking
the letters away from him and she wanted her picture taken.
She finally said, "Just do all the pictures of me! Knox is too busy
crying!"

Can you feel the love in our house?? :)

[AmyZ]

Corie!

Those are really great pictures! That "Y" one is too funny!

ADORABLE

[Corie]

I had asked Jen (jenjenfirenjen)
about her letters and she said Babies R Us.
I love the look of these letters! :)

[pixelprincess]

Adorable!! Love the background and have to say that the last one is my favorite.

[denna]

I really LOVE your pictures! They are very artistic.....so adorable! I love how you did the different shots...especially that infamous 'y'!!! :D Great job! how did DH like them?!?

[elliput]

Thank you! My DH loved them! I haven't had a chance to get the pic professionally printed yet though, so I just did a quick one on my printer and accidently resized the file. So I need to photoshop again...

[Corie]

Thank you for the nice words about my kids!! It means
alot that you all took the time to stop & look at my
DADDY pictures! I really do appreciate it! :)
