So after my awesome and slightly humbling fall I was laid up for a few days. But it has been almost a week and I hit the gym Monday and tonight. Tonight I did 3.5 miles on the bike and another 1 mile on the treadmill, followed by what my sister refers to as a "victory lap" around the track. Lets just say I over did it! My ankle is quite sore now. Hopefully tomorrow I'll do some swimming as my cardio to keep the weight off my foot.
I haven't written about my photography lately so here is an update!

| Green Screen work |
I'm going to do my good friend Falesha's maternity photos soon, and I was hoping to find a claw foot tub to use. Fortunately EBay answered my call! I found a claw foot tub for only $75! Unfortunately it's out in Missouri and if I do get it, it won't be here until the end of the month. It also is kinda ugly on the outside and may or may not be missing a foot. . .But hey! Antique claw foot bathtub for $75? I think SO!
I've also been experimenting with my green screen and digital backgrounds. Lets just say it's going ok. I need some work on my studio lighting before I can perfect it, but I do what I can with my limited space and knowledge.
I've also been getting on my crafty side : ) I've been working on Elliot's scrapbook and have successfully finished 17 pages! It's coming together quite nicely and I can't wait to start on his second one that will capture everything after the "infant" stage!

| Elliot's Wall Art |
Today I made some wall decorations for Elliot's room also. His room is Dr. Seuss themed and seeing how this week we celebrate Dr. Seuss's birthday I thought I would rise to the occasion! For now Ell has Cat In The Hat bed sheets and a Cat In The Hat lamp shade (that sits on a bright red lamp!!), he also has Fox in Socks above his closet pointing to his name (that I made out of sticky vinyl with my cricut!). He has Cat and Sam I Am on the wall. . .but when we moved in his new dresser it covered them up, so I need to take them down and move them! So to add to the theme (I know, it's a little late, he is 18 months old after all lol, but better late than never!) I took 3 5x7 white picture frames and put One Fish Two Fish in them : ) I scanned the book cover into the computer and then with Photoshop made them the way I wanted them! I love how they turned out and can't wait to hang them!

| Kaursin |
Now, seeing as it is 10:30 and I'm exhausted, I'm going to hit the sack. I have to watch my best friend Les's little boy Kaursin tomorrow and I know that having an 18 month old and a 8 month old is going to require some sleep!
