Fun with Editing Pics
This is a picture of me that I tried to get that vintage look. I have way too much fun editing pictures. This was done with a combination of
Bakumatsu Koshashin and Picnik photo editing.

Breakfast at Tiffany's award!
I'm speechless! Yet another award by the beautiful Miss Go Lightly. She's a huge Audrey Hepburn fan and of course loves Breakfast at Tiffany's (who doesn't? Audrey is fabulous!). So she decided to create this wonderful award because in her own words it "represents the feeling that Miss Go Lightly gets when she visits Tiffany's", which is utter happiness! Awww! I love it Miss Go Lightly!. Thanks so much. Your blog makes me feel the same.
"There aren't any 'real' rules to this award. Simply bestow it upon as many blog writers who make YOU feel like you are at Tiffany's! and if you would like to take it a step further, briefly state why these particular blogs make you feel like you are at Tiffany's. If not, then simply list them. Oh, and of course don't forget to copy and save the award :)"
I would like to pass on this award to:
1)http://bobbypinblog.blogspot.com/

Miss Go Lightly, this is for you:

Polyvore Set
I signed up at Polyvore about 10 months ago. I played around and made a couple of sets, clearly not experienced at this sort of thing, but nevertheless, I had fun. I remembered about it today and enjoyed making some sets. Polyvore is a site where anyone can create "sets" featuring fashions, art, expressions or pictures. There are groups to join and even contests to enter (which I haven't entered because I want to practice more!). It's great fun for those who are really into any fashion, art, or you just plain want to express yourself. Here are 2 sets I have made:
