When I’m supposed to be working

Yes this is what I’m doing instead of getting orders done,

cleaning the greenhouses,

 opening up boxes of merchandise

that I ordered in January….

and a multitude of things that I won’t keep listing.

You all have similar lists I’m sure….well maybe not exactly the same but lets just say lots to do.

Anyways this is what I do when I want to avoid working.

Photoshop!

I had this photo that I took last Fall after visiting a perennial nursery.

While driving home I stopped to visit with the cows on this farm.

Most of them ran the other way as soon as I came 

up to photograph them,

except this one.

The grass there must have been extra good in that spot:)

or she’s just more friendly.

It wasn’t a great photo.

so I thought I would try a texture layer from

Kim of Kim Klaussen’s Café

I did mask off some texture off of Bessie

Then after seeing this post

from Modern Prairie Girl

I decided I’d try something.

I know this looks like she’s sitting too close to Bessie

but I was trying out the idea and didn’t have time to hunt

for something better.

It still didn’t look right so I went back to unpacking.

An hour later I decided to add stronger texture layer

from Shadow House Creations.

I was this close to scrapping the whole thing.

but what’s one more layer going to hurt?

I need more practice and with a better image but for a quicky I’m happy with it.

What do you do when you need a break???

besides blogging : )
