Christmas has been a great holiday at my house. Christmas eve consisted of a HUGE plate of homemade lasagna, fresh bread, and Italian sasauges. Followed by dessert of fresh baked M&M cookies and Buckeye candies. We got to open up one present each on Christmas eve. Christmas morning we woke up and made a big breakfast of scrambled eggs & bacon. The present unwrapping proceeded after breakfast and it was SO much fun. The final gift to me was a treasure hunt of gift cards that my parents funded and my sister and brother-in-law masterminded. It sent me high and low in the house and around the garage looking from clue to clue for a new gift. Quite a nice way to give gift cards.

Hope you all enjoyed your holiday!

Nikon D90

I splurged on myself a little this Christmas and got myself a Nikon D90 DLSR camera. I have been using the Canon EOS Digital Rebel for so long that I decided an upgrade was in order. I got the camera yesterday and have been playing around with it learning the controls all day. One of the most exciting things I’m going to be doing is working on some HDR (High Dynamic Range) images. I’ll post up more about it once I’m able to go out and shoot some of my own to share.

Free Galaxy Space Desktop Wallpaper

So I got a little crazy on photoshop tonight and decided to try my hand at a little art piece. I created one of my favorite places…space. I’ve always been fascinated by the big “unknown”. I’ve even got those glow in the dark stars on my ceiling of my bedroom…Tastefully done though ;). This was very fun to make and I hope you enjoy it. It was my first space scene and it was almost therapeutic to make. In this world everything goes where you want it to :). I’ll be making more I’m sure.

I also made this funky little 3D orb. Enjoy!
