Hi, the countdown continues. Just 15 Friday’s till Christmas and that’s including Christmas! This is the perfect time to plan your holiday greeting card. Whether you have your picture taken professionally or a self portrait using a tripod, make your plans now. Time flies when you’re having fun and before you know it; 15 Friday’s have passed.

It’s that time of year, photographing families in the beautiful Autumn season. Wanted to design a simple and fun Christmas Card free to download for your own personal use. The card is 8×4 and can be printed as a slimline photo greeting card at the lab of your choice.

If you are interested in a Photoshop version template, one can be emailed upon request. You may contact me by scanning the code below using a code reader app on your smartphone. Please note the Photoshop .psd file will be generated from the FotoFusion software. I personally have used these files in Photoshop CS3 and CC.

There are many different resources for digital scrapbook papers. Here is just one link that popped up on my quick Google digital scrapbook paper.

If you would like a printable digital file like the one shown above, contact me and provide the required information. A flattened .jpeg file will be emailed to you ready to print at Mpix. Once your request is received, I will advise an expected time frame for your file.

Best Wishes,

Fun Day 650 Ft Below

Fun day 650 feet below; Strataca– Hutchison, KS.

Hi, Saturday I had a date with my hubby! It was a pleasant surprise when Kevin agreed to take a road trip to Hutchison, KS. We left at 9 am and returned at 9 pm. A fun filled day 650 ft below. Off we went to Hutchison KS to see the salt mine – Strataca. We left our home just north of Lawrence and drove south of Topeka down to Hutchinson. Our route is marked below. The drive home we headed north to Junction City where Kevin surprised me with a wonderful dinner at Munson’s Prime.

Strataca

Mike Rowe- Dirty Jobs did an episode on the mining side of the salt mine. The video recording of the episode plays in the lobby of the Strataca. The salt mine functions in three capacities: mining for salt- road salt for winter conditions; storage of film, digital media and documents; and the museum.

The total time we were 650 ft below was approx. 3 hours. There was a self tour which included a 12 minute train ride. And we were able to take the Dark Ride! While on this ride the conductor for a brief moment shut the lights out. Boy that was dark! It was interesting to know that there were no bugs in the mine. Breathing air is pumped down the shaft. Without electricity, there would be enough air to breath for about two weeks the tour guide mentioned. After our tour was complete we drove north to Hutchinson, KS where Kevin surprised me with a delicious steak dinner! He read of this family operated restaurant in the Grass & Grain paper.

Munson’s Prime

Munson’s Prime was delicious! Each dining guest selects their own steak from the “market”. The price depends on the one selected. The side dishes are served family style with unlimited refills. Dessert of home made ice cream included! This is a family business that extends beyond the restuarant industry. Click here to read all about the Munson’s Prime.

There are lots of images in the gallery from our outing. Simply click the link below to check them out!
