Textures :: Providence (soft light 20%) and Lola (soft light 30%) by Kim Klassen
One of my favorite expressions is "I have a bee in my bonnet." It's what I say when I finally get the energy to do something I've been needing or wanting to do for ages. Last week was one of those weeks, thank goodness.
A little bee flew into my bonnet on Tuesday evening, about a half an hour before my bedtime, and wouldn't leave me alone :-) I have a very strict sleep hygiene routine, as per the sleep doctor I saw last spring, and I am very diligent about it. But I decided to play hooky from my regimin and get started on Phase Two of The Great Condo Rearranging Project :-) Phase one occurred a couple of months ago. Mr. Bee is very busy.

We accomplished a lot, Mr. Bee and I. He helped me move boxes and furniture. My dining "area" is now my office :-) And I actually have a Craft Room now, although it is going to be a Craft Storage Room for quite a long time, but I'm fine with that. He flew off the other day, but he left me with some assignments to complete in his absence. Did one today. Hey...an imaginary helper is better than none, don't you think? :-)

I was a little overwhelmed by the Twelve Days of Texture, so I took a break to work on the Condo Project and tweak my blog a little. I'm very happy that Texture Tuesday is back, so I'll use the opportunity to use a few of the twelve lovely textures that Kim created for us and catch up.
I happened to take quite a few photos of bees last year, so I thought I'd edit three of them for this post. I decided to give Adobe Camera Raw in Bridge CS5 a try for the basic editing and then open the images in Photoshop to add the textures. Since there are three photos today, I'm not including Screen Shots.
I hope that everyone had a lovely holiday season and will have a wonderful 2012. I've already over-committed myself to all things photographic and Photoshop!!! After a playing a mental ping pong game of the pros and cons, I decided to sign up for Kim Klassen's new class, Beyond Layers! I also joined a 52 Week group on Flickr and of course, I have to try to learn something new everyday over at NAPP. Whew! I'll be busy, but it will all be so fun :-)
