Pictorial Tuesday 10 20 2026

I used my Yellow Dahlia picture and changed it into a Golden Photo. The manipulations that I used were to first crop the photo and then I inverted it. I applied the Golden Texture and the Trust Texture and I also applied a Gold coloring. The final touch was to use one of the Dearest Brushes (free brushes compliments of Pixels & Ice Cream).

Original photo is below:

Happy Tuesday. Sorry about my absence last week. I did Pictorial Tuesday, but I'm not sure what was happening, but could not get the link up to show up, and my blog kept getting so mixed up. So, I finally gave up.

However, I think it worked this week and link up is open below if you'd like to share your photography,digital artwork,or a craft. Thank you for visiting. Hope October is going good for everyone. :)

Pictorial Tuesday 10 6 2026

I'm resharing an old post because I usually do Pictorial Tuesday on Monday so it will be there on Monday or early Tuesday morning. But, on Monday, I have my last eye appointment for my Cataract surgery, which is all done, but one last visit for them to now check both eyes, and they will be dilating my eyes. This usually takes most of the day to wear off so I'm doing it for Tuesday, but using an old post. Hope you don't mind revisiting an old one.

Some digital scrapping fun. The shadow of the boy with the string to the balloon is actually taken from a photo that I took of kids playing with balloons at a graduation party and the picture turned out really dark, but I was able to extract the kid's shadow from it to use in my digital scrapping. The baby in the frame is of my oldest son when he was a baby. He is now 60. Love looking at pictures of when my kids were young.

Sharing a Tip:

When I picked the wrapping paper for the grand-daughter's birthday present, I wanted ribbon to match. The Dollar Tree had some that were curly, but I decided if I bought the same or matching paper that I wrapped the presents in, I could make my own. I used my paper shredder and put some pieces through, and then with my scissors I ran the edge gently along to curl the pieces of paper. Then I gathered them to put on the presents. I have, in the past, also shredded wrapping paper to top off a present that is in a gift bag.

I saw on The Spotted Canary television show this nifty way to present a gift in a bag without having to purchase the tissue that is usually just tossed away. Here are a couple copies of the bag that I decorated for my daughter-in-law’s birthday gift. I think it’s so much more clever than the usual, and it gives them a closure to keep for their next gift bag present.

To make these toppers, you make your design on cardstock decorating the same on each side of the cardstock fold in half. Then you measure the width of the handles, and with an exacto knife make a slit in the fold. Then you can simply slip your decorated cardstock over the handles and it will cover the top of the bag. I love this idea for all occasions and at Christmas.

(I didn't link the Spotted Canary because when I checked, it seems their link is no longer live. Use to enjoy their tips when they were on television on PBS.)

Link is open below to share your photography or craft ideas.

Thanks for visiting. See you next week. hahaha see what I did there. lol

Pictorial Tuesday 9 29 2026

Some Fall colors. Someone stole some of the weeks in September apparently because can't believe it will be October in 'One' day. Not much new in my world. Just some shopping and cleaning up my annual flowers in pots to put them away. I do leave some out as long as I can in the chance that a butterfly or a bee might need a last drink.

And, how do spiders seem to hang their webs from the sky above, and I manage to walk through them. Hate that this time of year when outside. You're in open space, and there's a spider web. Not a fave.

Link up is open below if you'd like to share some photography. Thanks for visiting.

Pictorial Tuesday 9 22 2026

Just some Weeds 'n Water

Photos are from a local quarry that is no longer a working quarry, I think. Been there for years and kids have always gone there. I use to take the grandson there to fish, but he's all grown now so no more fishing. bummer! lol

Happy Tuesday. Link up is open.

Pictorial Tuesday 9 15 2026

Just some random past Fall photos. No Fall colors yet so far this year.

Fall Weed (thistle)

I did not realize that I would be away last week to do Pictorial Tuesday is why there was no post with link up. I had my eye surgery (which has gone awesomely, and I'm so glad it's over with), and then with the holiday etc., I wasn't around to do the post. But, I'm back this week. Yay!!

The sock knitting is coming along, but I'm slow. Mostly because I forget to pick it up and work on them. lol

These are on 9 inch circulars.

These are started on 5 DPN needles.

On the first ones on the 9 inch circulars, I am at the point of beginning the heel turn, I think. I'm thinking I have enough of the top of the sock done. I have done a heel turn before, but that is what tripped me up the last time, and I messed up and just pulled everything off needles and started over.

Oh well, gives me something to do and for my mind to keep thinking. What all have you guys been doing? I did go to the local Popcorn Festival to hear my nephew play. His band was chosen to be on the main stage, which is an honor for our town festival. Supposedly, we are the biggest producers of popcorn.

Link up is below if you'd like to share your photography, crafts, thrifting. Have a great week and weekend.
