30-Day Photo Challenge

During my usual daily stroll in Blogville, I came across a 30 Day Photo Challenge Fall 2012 that I have already promised myself I would do. Exciiiiting! Last year I invested in a "really nice camera", and I'm ashamed to say that I haven't put one stinkin' hour into learning anything beyond basics or even how to take "really nice pictures". I'll usually put in a few days of the Instagram monthly challenges, but eh, I need to focus on the real stuff. Another reason I can contribute to this promise is that I just recently got a huge blessing from my mom. A laptop! Ha ha, I know that might seem childish to you, but she knew how much it would mean to me (shout out to awesome moms all over the place!). As you know I have my small business, A Stellar Find, so a place of my own to store these ideas, pictures, web pages, alllll this is where its happenin'! I had Photoshop on my MIL's laptop that I borrowed here and there (you see why I needed my own?) so I transferred that over in hopes that I learn how to tackle that beast, too. And of course after 2 days I got alllll our family pictures transferred over - I always thought to myself, if Facebook ever went down, I'm screwed. Anyway, so if you are interested in exactly what to look forward to, check it;
