Ooops…here’s a photo I took and then re-touched via Photoshop. Forgive the sloppy PS skillz, I’m still learning.
This photo was taken at a former co-worker’s wedding on Aug 19th. It was a strawberry/vanilla cake…really, really good. It was such an interesting wedding reception, my friend is vietnamese and I loved seeing the mix of […]

Unlike the rest of the country, the Los Angeles area doesn’t seem to have any of those wonderful Sheep and Wool Festivals, however they do have this festival. I had been talking about it for days and almost passed it up last weekend because I was exhausted from […]
