some before's and after's

i am totally addicted to photoshop actions lately. i have downloaded a bunch and then i don't remember which one does what lol. so i think from now on i will write down what i have downloaded and a description....that will help.
here's the original and two that i did in photoshop:

i love this effect, its called 70's. love it. love it. love it.
the original first....

awesome huh? love the effect i got with this flower.

in this photo you can see how it brings out the lettering in the stone.

so yeah, i am addicted to photoshop actions. i took over 100 pictures on sunday. i won't photoshop them all just my favorites. i liam news...the kid is eating way too much and way too often. i am trying to find a good nipple to start giving him cereal with every bottle. he's up to 8oz now. i used the drop in bottles but had to geet new ones because they only go up to 6oz. says 8 on one side but no it's 6. and with adding cereal i need more room soooo different bottle here we come. we got him 5oz bottles of this kind so he won't have problems going to the bigger bottle.

the city is having their city wide clean up this year! thank god! they had it last year but you had to take it to them, this yeah they will come pick it up. i am so happy about this. so much i want to throw out to the curb! hopefully we can get the carpet up in time. it starts th 21st to the 24th for our side of town. we'll see if we can accomplish that or not. would be nice! not quite sure how to get everything done that i want to with having liam and watching him. maybe he can stay a day somewhere :)
