No more strap!

My daughter was so pleased with this light cotton, jersey print Cami I'd made for her, she just HAD to wear it to school for 'picture day'.

To think that my daughter would rather wear a top that I made, than any of the gazillions of new little tops she's purchased over the summer months at 'Stitches' or 'The Mall' ... Well, it just makes a Mom proud!
The Photographer who took her picture neglected to tell her that her bra strap was showing, and took the picture anyway, without correcting the situation, the Dumb Head!

When the $56.00 worth of pictures finally arrived, my daughter burst into tears upon pulling them out of the envelope when she spotted the dreaded blue bra strap sticking out from beneath the pink, stretch lace strap of her new top!

Well, because her bra strap was showing, her "pictures were ruined!"

Drama, Drama, Drama! Why does there always have to be so much Drama with Girls?!

Mom to the rescue!!!

Armed with my handy, dandy, photo-manipulating programs, I was able to correct this faux pas, and remove said pesky blue bra strap from the photograph. Becky was so pleased with the results, all tears have completely subsided, she loves her pictures, and there is peace in the land once again.

Now that I've corrected them, all I have to do is print them out! Good thing I just got some new ink cartridges for my printer! Looks like I'm going to need them.

A thought just crossed my mind . . . What the hell am I going to do with all the lovely, but bra-strap offensive prints from the photographer? They clearly show said bra strap, so they won't be going out to family members with the Christmas Cards! Thank God for Paper Shredders, is all I can say!

I got my Paper Shredder for Christmas 3 years ago, and it is still my most favorite Christmas present, evar! Except maybe for the present I just busted Santa trying to sneak into the house this evening!

Just as I hit the top step from the basement, Santa was bringing a giant box through the front door, and in plain view for me to see, as the door closed behind him, was a brand new MASSAGE TABLE!!!

But, THAT'S another Blog! Suffice it to say that this latest Christmas present is right up there with my paper shredder, on my list of best evar Christmas presents from Santa!

Anywayz, back to the pictures ... what made this job easier was that we bought the 'Full package' which comes with a CD containing a jpeg. of all the pictures taken, as well as those they'd cropped, turned to Black & White or Sepia'd, and of course, the original shot.

Since I am able to alter the photograph into Black & White, Sepia and a great many other effects with the programs I have, all I really have to do is correct the two colour originals, then apply the photographic effect that strikes me at the time.

So, here is a picture of one of the little tops I've made in the past while. Man, I'd like to kiss the person who invented the Serger!
