Our Granddaughter's First GIF!!

Okay, I know the movement on the blog might be a bit much, but I just learned to make a GIF from Xanthe Berkely here and had to share!

For those of you who are new to GIFs...it stands for Graphics Interchange Format and is pronounce "Jif".  It really is.  I argued with my 21 year old daughter because I was sure the "G" was the "G" in ground.

Overwhelmingly found on the internet---it is indeed pronounce "Jif"  

Just in case you wondered.

Basically, a Gif is a small animation.  It's similar to stop motion video but it continues constantly because the movement is embedded.  You don't play/stop it like you would a video.  Because of that, it is limited in it's colors, so I read somewhere.

Just in case you wondered.

I think I'm going to sign up for her Time Capsules class and I've already joined her 12-12-12 project.  I am in awe with what she does with photos and videos!

Maybe you would like to join too?!

Texture Tuesday

And, it was blueberry. :)

Linking up with Kim Klassen for Texture Tuesday: Free and Easy Edition.

The photo was textured with at least three layers of Kim's textures. I flattened it an ran actions too, so now don't remember which ones....

I also used an argyle brush from Pugly Pixel.

I did a lot of online shopping yesterday so the mailbox will be fun to watch! 

Happy day to all of you!
