Today, I pledge to photoshop at least every Friday, easing myself back into it with a bunch of quick lessons Jessica calls  ~  wait for it  ~  Photoshop Friday.

Yesterday, Katie came home from visiting with Alexa with her hair dyed turquoise and her ear pierced. 'Cuz that's how girl scouts roll....
