A find!

So I stopped by Good Will in Plano today on my way home from the doctor (yes, my coughing is just out of control now). The reason I stopped, you ask? One of the fabulous instructors at CPR (Creative Photography Retreat) that I recently attended does just that! Looks for deals in Good Wills and the like to find low cost props for her sessions. Thanks for the great idea Sarah!! While on the hunt I found .... drum roll .... black sheets! Blacks sheets? Yes!! Black Sheets!!
This is so great because .... I can now set up an impromptu photo
session in my garage and use it as the background. Tadaaaaa. Instant studio. OK so it's a little hot in the garage and I still feel like poohey sauce (One of Madi
son's words) but maybe next weekend when I feel more up to it and you will see what comes out of it.

Why is this such a find cause I could have gone and found them elsewhere? $15 for a set of brands new, never been used, Queen sized sheets. Awesome! I am thinking I will cut the elastic out of the bottom sheet so that it will behave better and lay flat.

On a side note, if you have a chance to stop by the Good Will in Plano they have some great stuff! More jeans than you can shake a stick at, lots of stuff with great potential, and lots of NEW stuff. Looked like Target drops off their damaged, returned, and couldn't sell stuff. OK so they just have a lot of STUFF!! LOL

I'll leave you with some pictures that I took of the girls recently. My next challenge I am going to take on is some actions in Photoshop. I'll let you know how that goes!
