My Dream Compliment



     This evening I received the compliment of my life.  I was playing around with my photoshop elements today.  I wanted to make some birth announcements and I also needed an 8x10 picture to hang on the wall so Nathan could be part of the family.  Above are the 3 pictures I made and sent to Wal-mart.com to be printed up.  Around 4:30 p.m. I got a call from Wal-mart.  They asked me if I had a copyright release to bring in when I picked up the pictures.  I was so flattered.  I told them that I had taken the pictures myself.  They seemed surprised (more flattered!) so I explained how I used my mom's fancy Nikon SLR camera and large pieces of black and white cloth for the background.  They believed me.  When we picked up the pictures, I saw that they had written on the envelope that it needed the copyright release, but then they had scratched it out.  I used to always dream of being asked to produce the copyright release when I turned my pictures in.  It finally happened!

The envelope (I might laminate it!)

P.S.  Sadly the side of the color announcement got cut off a bit and the left side of the N is missing in that announcement.  So it looks like we named him 'Vathan.'  We weren't really planning on sending them out to everyone.  I thought I might stick them in thank you cards or something like that.  But those ones are pretty much ruined. :(
