Awesome Giveway & a Surprise

So, first of all, Carlotta at Pastor's Girl's Ponderings is holding a giveway - and the prize is an adorable necklace with a camera charm on it. It's super cute and if you like photography, cameras, etc., then I suggest you head over to her blog and enter. ;-)

And the surprise? Millie Keith. Millie Keith's birthday party. Millie's, one of my A Life of Faith dolls, birthday is today. She's fourteen. ;-) Over at my Picasa, I posted a little one-photo album over there with an announcement that her birthday is today, but soon I'll be adding more photos of her small birthday party. ;-)

With love,

Hannah Elise
[Haha, my middle name isn't Elise. Of course not. I didn't want to give out my real middle name, so many places, I'm known as Hannah Elise. :D]

Photoshop

I'm in shock right now; total, complete shock and utter excitement.

 I just got Photoshop!!

And. I. Love it.

TO DEATH.

It is THE BEST.

( Before )

Haha! No, I didn't REALLY get Photoshop. I just wanted to play a prank on you for April Fool's Day.

I didn't wish to offend you or hurt someone's feelings up there. I just had to pull something!

But no, REALLY, I have a Photoshop-RELATED program. It's called GIMP - you may have heard of it before. And best of all, it's...FREE! :D

Well, it is one million - or one septillion (I read that in science; one septillion = 1 with twenty-four zeros behind it) times better than Picnik, in my opinion.

And if you have the right computer program (i. e. : Windows 7) then I HIGHLY suggest you get it.

That before photo turned out to look like this...

See? It's just like the 'texture' Picnik offers with Premium. But you have to pay with Premium. I almost got Premium with my savings, but decided not to, and am SO GLAD! Now I can do virtually anything with GIMP. :)

Soooo...how was your April Fools' Day? I tried to prank my nearly-fifteen-year-old brother by saying that I stole some of his savings, but he didn't believe me. And that's no surprise. Now I can't prank him anymore because he's expecting it. So is my mom. So much for tricking my family! (Oh, but we are going to play a joke on Dad. And I'll put my brother's old toy snake under his sheets, at least...or on his pillow...)

How was your April Fools' Day? Did you or are you planning to play any pranks?? ;) Do you like April Fools' Day?

I sure do.
