Looking for Lovely - a Winter Walk

Hello my friends,

Have you been wondering where I've been?  Where your Friday Texture disappeared to?

The truth is...I've been right here. But I needed to take a little break! 

And it has been GOOD.

'sigh'

I can't believe I have watched about 6 hours of Mary Tyler Moore in the last 2 days.

Anyhow, Ben and I went for a stroll in the back wooded area behind our home. My mission was to find some loveliness...even though it's quite barren... lots of empty tree branches and white snow.

But the sun was beautiful... and we found some lovely...and a little sparkle too!  :)

I used today's freebie on all the images....  I call it golden..  And here it is. 

Texture Lovin' Listers.... I will send your download link out in just a few. Not on the list?  Feel free to sign up if you wish. :)

Just a couple of things, before I sign off...

The 30 textures in 30 days project has been amazing!  I hope to have the collection ready early next week.  I will keep you posted!  Honestly, it's going to be BEYOND.... truly. 

I will post a few image samples in the next day or so... Lots of loveliness to share with you all!

Also, I'm running a new round of The Essentials in March!  If you are interested in learning the ins, outs and in betweens of photoshop.... please check it out...  It's jammed full of information...with easy to understand lesson material. :)

Okie doke..signing off.... Mary is calling to me..  I can hear it playing in the background.  I set the pvr to record and last I checked there were 28 'new' episodes to watch... haha. 

xxo,

Totally cool to take a break. It's healthy. Looking forward to working with the Golden texture.

[Doreen]

Thank-you....take care of yourself.

[Kat]

So glad you took a little break! Thanks so much for this wonderful texture and for all of your great textures. I used some of your textures on some Dutch Iris photos I took today and then posted on my blog. I love how they turned out! I look forward to trying out this new one.

Your photos are lovely. The snow really does sparkle. And thanks for the texture, I'm looking forward to trying it, though a complete novice yet.

[Melissa Green]

Dear Kim, I'm just beginning to explore all the lovely things you have made, dreamt up and think about, but I'm loving it. And MTM--well, that's a stroke of genius. You need to rest and regenerate and replenish--nothing better than laughter for that. One of the best days I ever spent was watching 8 hours of "Cheers", unlike me, but oh, so delirious!
Thank you.

[Donna]

Kim - thanks so much for letting us use your wonderful textures. They are amazing!!
Have a GREAT day. I know that I will have fun working with the new texture!!
Thanks again

It's always good to take a break- to rest and renew ourselves.
And look at the beauty that has come from it- I love this texture and your images are beautiful!

[onagracenote]

Thank you for another beautiful texture.

[sue jackson]

Kim,
The texture is beautiful and so subtle! I can't wait to try it! You deserve a break...I just watched movies all day yesterday in my jammies! loved it!

[Rosie Grey]

Such wonderful photos, Kim, and such a beautiful texture - thanks so much for it! I'm glad you enjoyed your little (well deserved!) break!

[Kristina]

Lovely. I'm inspired to play. What a gorgeous, dreamy texture.
Thank you!

[Anne]

These pictures are gorgeous! And, the texture...oh, what can I say about this lucious texture. It is super wonderful!

[Kathy]

HI Kim, thanks for sharing your lovely walk with us. I live in the desert so to see some snow is pretty nice. But I do have to say, I enjoy looking at it and visiting it more than living in it. I'm an ocean kind of gal...and I'm leaving to far from that as well....sigh.:( I love the texture you gave us and can't wait to use it and share on the flickr group. I'm sad my SkinnyMini Feb course is over but I learned a lot and have been playing in my "free trial" offer as much as possible. I'll have to save up my $$$'s in able to afford to actually buy it, but that's the plan. I do have Corel, but can't seem to figure it out. Well the point was just to thank you for the wonderful pictures, textures and for the sweet little course.

Bright blessings,
Kathy

[alexa]

This is delightful - looking forward to seeing it!

[Sally]

Kim....thank you again for opening up my eyes and heart to photoshop.....you are an awesome teacher!!! Take as many breaks as you need....just promise you'll always come back to us afterwards:)

[Marisa]

Simply stunning beauty ....well done!!

[Laura dogsmom]

Enjoy Mary, and Rhoda, and Phyllis, and Lou Grant and if you run out of episodes I also recommend her in the old Dick Van Dyke shows.

[Suzanne]

Thank you Kim, it's lovely...everyone needs a break now and then..take sweet care..

[Judy]

You deserve the break! So glad you enjoyed it. Many thanks for the texture, it's lovely...as always!
