Kay, so here are a few pictures I’ve been playing with using the gift I mentioned yesterday. I think I’ll be using these actions on every photo from now on. I’m not sure how well the differences will translate on the web. You can click on each image to see it a little bigger but let me tell you, on my computer screen these things rock! These things make me wanna start my own photography business on the side. They give every image that wow factor. I am a lucky lucky girl who has the greatest friends in the world.
So since someone was so very generous to me I thought that it would be a good thing to pass that generosity along. And no not by giving someone else these rad actions since that would be either a) my FOOD money for the rest of the month and a girl needs to eat or b) illegal. BUT, I was thinking the other day that I should do a little crafty blog gift for the 1500th comment posted and then I noticed this morning I passed that up already. So then I was thinking, why should 1500 get all the glory. There’s really nothing MORE special about 1500 than say 1512 right? So to make the # 1512 feel more special I’m going to do a give-away to the 1512th commenter on my blog. Make sure you leave an email address that you can be reached at. And I stress that you can be reached at since I realized recently that I’d been missing numerous emails thanks to my over zealous hotmail junk filter. If anyone has tried to reach me through that address recently please resend it to my auntiepea address (email link on the left). Kay, got sidetracked there but I’d been meaning to mention that on here for the last few posts and kept forgetting.
So anyway, comment #1512 will get a little crafty mail from the Eclectic Whimsy Boutique. :)
AND, since there are a few bags left in the boutique that are just dyin’ to make it to an Easter sunrise service or Easter Sunday brunch I thought I’d run a little gift with purchase special on any order placed by Wednesday (April 4th). PLUS, since I’m dyin’ to make something with the wonderful Amy Butler fabric below I’ll give away another gift with purchase to the first custom order using this combo. (Custom purses using AB fabrics range from $30 – $55 depending on size/special detail requests) :)
Isn’t it gorgeous?! I absolutely love her new line. Well…I guess I love every line she’s come out with. I only wish she wouldn’t discontinue them ever. I suppose that makes them a little more special though, huh.
Kay, back to work. :)
Hi Shawn-

OOOOOH!!!! Cannot WAIT to see what you do with that new Amy Butler fabric! YUM! You got my goodies right? Just making sure! Didn’t know if my email I had for you was an old one. :) Muah!
oh, i have been eyeing those actions myself…….they look awesome!!
Love the photos!
Oh, did my e-mails get eaten? I still want a little iPod/Palm carrier and maybe a small bag, too. Yes, you can see the difference on the photos on the web, that’s awesome!
Cute fabric. I love the blog!
OMGosh, I love actions. Those are amazing. I need to get me a set.
That “lights on” action is amazing. It would work wonders on ALL my pictures. Great work, love the blog!
Hey there:) I love all those AB fabrics and love those actions too. I am working on my photography. Me too..back to work.
and one more thing…what a major blessing good friends are..makes things a little brighter for sure.
you have one totally awesome friend ;)
Makes me think i really need to learn PS better… want to do a lesson for me sometime?
These look awesome Shawn!!! I might have to get me some!!!
I am crossing my fingers that TypePad doesn’t eat my comment. I have been leaving some brilliant and hillarious comments and they just disappear into thin air. Hmmmmm.
Anyhoo, those actions RULE! Where to heck do I find those bad boys. I have a birthday coming up and DH needs some ideas. ;)
Awesome blog. I love your work! Beautiful! I think your pictures are great before the actions but with action WOW!
VERY cool effects on those pics…wish *I* had that kind of friend! ;)
Oh, I am so in love with these actions too!!! They are too fun, I was actually just playing around with them again tonight, I can’t help but to explore all their possibilities, lol :)
Gorgeous fabrics!
Do you still have anymore of those blue w/ black polka dot ruffled purses left…I went to look, but I didn’t see them. My birthday is coming up and I SOOOOO wanted one, was gonna send hubby your way ;)
hey chickie! those actions look awesome… maybe you should coughcoughscrapcoughcough with some of those pictures!lol
WOW, I think I might need to pick those actions up!!!
Wow- I SOOOO need those actions, too! I have the Itty Bitty Ones, but a girl can never have too many, right? Good thing I’ve got a birthday coming up in the next few months! :) And those Amy Butler fabrics are just gorgeous- I absolutely love the bag I have, you’re going to make lucky 1512 very happy! Hope you have a great weekend!! ~T.
I’m so glad I found your blog again! Your photos look fantastic! I’m off to see what’s new in your boutique, your purses are so CUTE!
I love that fabric! Your blog is one of the few that has gotten me interested in sewing again. Your purses are great!
Love the photo actions too, they really make a difference don’t they?!
I’m under the impression that I am not the 1500th commentor. Who took my gift? What was the gift? Was it a playstation 3? How about we do caller #9? I know I could win at that.
Did you know you used the word “rad” in your post. That’s kinda sexy in a punkish way.
Move over Gupster, it’s all about me and I am not the 1500th commentor either!! :D It’s all about “survivalism”…..
Love the examples Shawny…those def. are some *RAD* actions!!!!
YUMMY YUMMY fabric!! That is my new obsession, seriously, love me some AB fabric, she has got it goin’ on!! I also love Heather Bailey fabrics, to die for!!
S – hey girlie girl…
somehow, i’ve lost you again in this unstable world of email….errrrr! will you please send me an email so we can talk about your interview.
thanks!!!!
xoxo,d
The actions look fab – what a great gift to get – WOW! Cute purses/patterns as usual!
Those actions are Soooooo cool!. Talk about making photo adjusting really easy. Wish I had a friend who gives this kind of gift LOL.
ohh.. i love those actions.. where can i buy them?
wow – gorgeous shots!
Its amazing how a few bottons can completely transform a photo! I love photography. I hope your business takes off. Ive started one as well.
BTW your bags are beautiful. I found you through Ang’s site.
