the colors of me

Oh my gosh, I am so hooked on these little 30 second slideshows you can make for free at www.animoto.com! You can easily make longer ones (perfect for those end of the year slideshows) for $3 and an additional $5 so you can make your own DVD (which I, yep me, actually did). You can also have unlimited videos of any length for an annual fee. I anticipate I might take my $45 a year I spend for SmugMug that I hardly use anymore and put it towards this $30 a year website instead......
I still can't get the music quite right. Apparently it only uses MP3 files. Not a problem, but after I already found the song I wanted on a CD of mine, I didn't have anymore patience trying to figure out how to convert that......anyway, this is McKenna and I on her field trip to Silver Springs. (You can turn off the John Denver music by scrolling all the way down to the bottom of the page and clicking the pause button - sorry!)

Create your own video

Just for fun, I scanned some recent photos to share. The first one is Andrea's high school tennis photo - holy cow!

And the second is a recent photo of the four of us. We seldom have one of these. It was taken at Sleuth's Dinner Show down in Orlando just a few weeks ago.

And I did manage to create a few notecards for McKenna's teachers at school for Teacher Appreciation Week. I'm so excited about these cards because the paper I used was especially made for The Villages Charter School. Thanks to SHE Scrapbooks for keeping such an awesome supply of paper!!!!

Okay, off to update the classroom blog.....have a great week everyone!
