What's that, you ask?
Well, Monica over at Pixel Perfect hosts a before and after blog hop.
And because I'm endlessly playing with my photos.
And doing absolutely nothing with them when I am finished.
This has given me an opportunity to actually give them a home!
A few weeks ago I went out to my grandparents farm.
It is a idealic spot on 20 acres.
The spot where they raised their 10 children.
For nostalgic reasons, I roamed the house the other day and clicked pictures of every room.
All the things that I remember as a girl are still there.
It is amazing.
I was tickled pink when I found these lovely little saddle shoes inside of this old rustic blue dresser.
I'm not sure who they belonged to.
Let's just pretend they were my mom's, when she was a little girl of about 6.
Let's just imagine that she walked to school in these shoes.
Aren't they sweet?
So, while playing "let's imagine".
This is what I came up with.
Can't you see her skipping down the dirt road in these little saddle shoes?
For some reason, these make me smile.
This picture was edited with Photoshop Elements 6. I found the nifty little photo corners at the Coffeeshop .

Absolutely adorable! ... and I love Coffeeshop!! ;)
Oh man, you totally transported that photo back in time! Love it!
Beautiful editing job! I love the nostalgic feel of the photo.
Can I just send my photos to you and you can make them look all wonderful?
Thanks.
Oh WOW! I love, love, love what you did to this photo. The processing perfectly fits the subject. Awesome job. I'm a fan of Coffeeshop as well, but I haven't seen the corners yet. Off to find them now!
Thank you for sharing!
So Cool! I wish I could do this!

I love this picture, before and after. The after is really sweet though. I love how you changed it. I need to learn how to use photoshop.
LOVE IT! {enough said}
Love the before and after - the SOOC is great~ but the after really sets the scene! Great Edit!!!
What a great "after" photo. Your pictures really, really, really make me want to get Photoshop! It's amazing what that program can do.
Wow!! What a beautiful shot. Love the old worn feeling.
Loved your edit, it's truly amazing :)

Wonderful, as always!
Question...do you always use elements? I have elements and that is what I stumble my way around.
Another question...Are you not able to ask your mom or someone else about the shoes? I love the idea that they may have been hers.
I love the vintage feel to this! And I LOVE old school saddle shoes! :D Great edit, and thanks for stopping by for a visit! :D
Stopping by from Pixel Perfect.
I love the coloring on the edit, and the how the photo is VERY vintage looking. Great job! :-)

Hi Julie! I found you through BF; we've been commenting in one of the same communities. I love your photography, and those saddle shoes are just too sweet! I'm following now and will be back on Monday to check out your Mom n Me.
Thanks!
