The Day After Christmas!

Hey guys! Yesterday was Christmas, and I hope yours was wonderful! Mine was pretty amazing. I got iPod speakers, the Taylor Swift cd, and some random things. Oh ya! And Curses! Ha there will be some good times with that! Lol. And I also got this thing called Flip. Its a little video camera and it has a thing that pops out that makes it so that you can hook it up to the computer. When you plug it in, a Flip Program comes up where you can edit and store your videos. You can cut them and stuff, and you can put them to music. Its so much fun! Lol. I was really entertained by it yesterday. There are endless hours of fun with that thing.
Ya, and its supposed to be snowing right now and it isnt. So I am a bit disappointed. Oh well!
Ha ha, well thats it I think. So love you all and keep the Christmas spirit in your hearts all year round!
Love-
Rachel

Christmas Eve

Hey guys! It's Christmas Eve, and I am so excited! I hope today goes by fast so that tomorrow will get here already!
Yesterday was great fun. Susie and Rachel and I all hung out and had a blast. You see, we were delivering things around the neighborhood in the little red wagon that we have, and it seems like everytime it was my turn to sit in the wagon, something happened. For example, I got driven into the snow, and got sopping wet. What a fun day! Lol. No, it really was fun. I just didn't enjoy the fact that everyone was plotting against me.
Then last night, I went babysitting for the Bonds. Oh my goodness! They are so cute! I love babysitting for them! They are so adorable and they're obedient. I love going over there to play with them.
One last thing, I think my phone is broken. It's being kind of dumb. Like it'll turn on, but it won't stay on. It just turns off. If I fix it, or get a new one, then I'll let you guys know. So Loryn, sorry, but I don't think I'll be able to text you for a while.
Anyway, Love you all!! And Merry Christmas!!
Love-
Rachel

PhotoShopping

Hey guys! How are you? I am sooo excited! Christmas is in 4 days! Can you believe it?
You may have noticed the new layout of my blog. In case you're wondering, those are my eyes at the top of the page. My dad put this program on our computer that you can photoshop pictures on. I cropped that picture, made it black and white, sharpened it, softened it, adjusted the curves on the colors, frosted glass, recolored, oil painting, sharpen again, glow, hue/saturation, and brightness/contrast. Lol. I know it sounds like a lot, and it is. But it's so much fun! Here are some other pictures that I photoshopped, and if some of them are of you, don't freak out.

So, ya! Aren't they wicked? Lol. They were much fun to make. If you guys have any photos that you want me to do something with, you can email them to me.
Anyways, that's pretty much all I have to say. Love y'all!
Love-
Rachel
