    Cute Halloween Masks-Freebies

    The past few weeks have been busy weeks getting my boys settled with school. I can hardly believe that in another month we will be dressing our little ones up and taking them to trick or treat. Our oldest is 16 and has little interest in dressing up, however our younger children still enjoy it. Today, I received a new freebie from My Memories, a cute little Halloween Mask. There a total of 4 different masks in this weeks freebies. And another feature that is available with these freebies, is that now you won’t have to worry about losing these if you change computers or a computer crash. My Memories now stores these under your account forever. Whenever you need them, you will be able to download them. The only thing you need to do with these are download and print. Then cut out to fit your face, and you will havea  cute mask for Halloween.

     

     

    Don’t forget to check out Touched by a Butterfly my memories store, lots of new sales and freebies. Such as this cute new quick page, Apple Picking, created using Touched by a Butterfly kit Apple Picking.  And don’t forget you can use discount code  STMMMS36408 for a total savings of $20.00, $10.00 towards the software and $10.00 for the kits.

    Giveaway-Beautiful Beasties: Pet Photography Book

    Last week I received Beautiful Beasties: A Creative Guide to Modern Pet Photography book to review and giveaway. I was very excited to receive this book and was far from disappointed. It combined two of my favorite things, photography and pets. I have always had pets, or as I call them my fur babies. For our family they are part of the family and spoiled just as much. Taking photos of animals can be tricky at times, wrong lighting, moving around, and the fact that sometimes they just don’t want to be photographed and would rather play.

    I really enjoyed the illustrations and  instructions in this book. Lots of details and suggestions on getting the perfect photo. Which helped me finally after a year get the perfect photo of our newest family member, Morticia. The first kitty that our kids actually made up a song for. She is a calico with a nearly solid black face. The photos always turned out blurry and horrible.

    Before

     

    After reading some tips

    I have only had the book a week and feel a lot more confident about getting the perfect photo of our fur babies. It is a 335 page book with tons of links, resources, instructions and tips to help you capture those wonderful moments with your pet. The book even goes one more step in helping you with the basics if you want to take your pet photography hobby to a professional level.

    This was a fun review and I am glad to be hosting this giveaway for 1 copy of the Beautiful Beasties: A Creative Guide to Modern Pet Photography.

    It finally arrived!

     

    I was so glad to finally receive this book in the mail! I love taking photos of my fur babies, sometimes they don’t turn out the way I had hoped. Just browsing through this book this afternoon, there are so many tips and details to take better photos of my fur babies. I am looking forward to sharing more and hosting a giveaway for this book. Here is a photo taken tonight of our cat Morticia, her face is very dark and photos normally don’t turn out to well. Working with the lighting I was able to finally get a good photo of her face and sweet personality.
