If we live good lives, the times are also good. As we are, such are the times. ~ Saint Augustine of Hippo
(These are for my other 365 project… yes, I’m insane and I’m doing TWO Project 365′s! One is for my photography and the other is just for my girls and their daily lives. These are for my girls’ project today… day 50! I’ve actually made it 50 days without missing any pictures! I love to look back and remember the little tidbits of their lives!)
So, Autumn brings me a pair of pajama bottoms this morning and tells tells me to cut off the legs because they have holes in the knees. I cut them off and tell her to throw the scraps away. She pauses for a minute, then tells me she wants to make a dress for her Calm-Down Bear! So I cut some holes in the sides for sleeves and put the scrap on her care bear. She then tells me to make one for Summer’s Calm-Down Bear too! So the two Calm-Down Bears have matching dresses! Aren’t they so cute! So, do you want me to make you a dress now? I’m available… 
On both photos, I used my newly released Photo Veils from the Simplicity Collection! They are so fast and easy to use! I whipped these two photos out in less than a minute! Check them out… you will love them!!

I’ve whipped up a few before and afters for you to see what Photo Veils can do! Each of these edits took me less than a minute to complete! That’s how quick and simple these are!

I’m having a major ”a-ha” moment today AND I came up with a fabulous idea! Yay for inspiration hitting me smack in the face!
This sweet little bird came out and was singing the prettiest little song. It was such a refreshing joy to hear today!
I’m cheating a little with my 365 today! I am so swamped getting things ready for my photo veils release! This is one of the before and afters I’ve been working on this afternoon.
