Weeks 34 & 35

Missing in action last week for the "Add Something" prompt so here is what I like to do when I'm bored in the evenings.


The pink Dahlia's are actually some of mine growing in a pot on the back steps.  I found the rest of the images on google and just played around.


And this one I did basically the same, using one of my flowers that I altered in a program called Pixlr.  It's my favorite altering app ever.

And a couple more of my flowers that I altered in Pixlr.  Same photo, different overlays. 







I waste a lot of time playing with this app in the evenings.  It's better than TV!

Week 35 Growth and Change.

Since living alone for 5 years and being totally dependent on myself for everything, I've grown immensely.  I'm self-sufficient, solving problems and learning how to cope with everything myself.  I'm stronger and more aware of everything.  I know I've changed from the person I was 10 years ago into a strong secure seasoned woman.  And I kinda like that.  So I'm going to post a picture of me.  :) 


I've grown and changed.
I am woman and I am strong.

  2. Great post Donna. I too am learning to be a strong self-sufficient woman. I have grown in the last 2 years much more than I expected. I used to fear being alone and now I am learning to embrace it. Your photograph is beautiful.

  6. Well, first, you have given us a lovely self-portrait. There is certainly strength there in your face.

    But your altered flowers are fantastic! I love that some start to look like a different photo all together!

  7. Your flower photos are just lovely!! They almost look like paintings!!!

    I am proud of your for being able to live on your own. I'm not sure I could do that. You are a strong woman and I admire that.

  9. Great pics! I have Picasa on my computer and like to play some with it. Though I would like to get something a little more advanced so I can put layers over layers. And kudos to "being a woman" Amazing what we can do when we set our minds to it! Thanks for the great post.
