My Graduation picures

Mom sent me some of my graduation pictures a while back, for their Anniversary album, so I finally got around to scrapping them today. They aren't really involved, I probably should have tried to think of something cool to do with them, but I didn't, and after the past few days, am just happy I got some scrappin done! I did 4 layouts, because I didn't want to scrunch the pictures up and wanted to use my announcement, and diploma, too, so that's why I ended up with so many.

I took some of the papers, and elements into PSP XI and changed the color on them, to the brighter "gold" color that matched our school colors. That's the thing I love the most about the newest version of Paint Shop Pro. Its SOOOOOO easy to change colors of things, to a specific color. One of these days I will have time, (and remember at the same time) to check out what I can do to make it run faster on my computer. Then I can use it all the time, instead of still mostly using X. I think part of the trouble with XI is the new browser or organizer. I don't like it near as well, and it really slows the start up time of the program down.
I drove DH over to pick up his tractor that was over across a creek toward the back of our property today, so he could take it to a neighbors house, and drill some holes with the post hole digger. And the way back, I stayed at the gate, so I could close it behind him, so he didn't have to get off the tractor, and stood admiring our scenery. Its so much greener this year!!! We have gotten a lot more rain, which is why, but its so pretty. The gate is on top of our hill, so we can look out over others pastures, and fields, and see other farm houses from up there. Its not the same lush green as where I grew up in Missouri, but still really pretty. I was almost sorry DH came along, so I had to shut the gate, and drive on. LOL I know I could have sat longer, but was needing to get back and finish some things in the house, so I didn't.

We had a rain shower come through this afternoon! (I remember those, afternoon showers, but its sure been awhile since we had them!) I can do without the storms but the little showers, are wonderful. We went out to the front porch to sit and enjoy it, but naturally it quit, its so nice to sit and smell the rain, and watch it come down, so maybe the next time one comes through, we can go enjoy it.

Sorry if I rambled a bit, I wanted to fill in the spaces around the layouts! LOL It looks better if there is writing between them all, and this lets my family know whats going on here! Course as you can see....not all that much! DH is feeling much better today, which is wonderful, and I haven't gotten sick yet, so hopefully I won't.

I hope everyone is having a good week! Maybe I can get my brothers graduation pictures done tomorrow, and then move on to another subject! LOL
