I won the 1st prize in a Design Contest a few days ago… I got no idea how I deserved this (Honestly *grin*) - but I love the amazing price I recieved: A Graphic Tablet. It´s so much fun to play around with the tablet! But: Where´s the relation of the Graphic Tablet and WATER? Well… I usually wanted to post a picture of our son Luis today. “1st contact: Luis and Open Water” - taken during our unforgetable summer vacation at Corfu, Greece in September 2006. Here´s the Original:
Thanks for stopping by, And now…
This week´s theme is “WATER”.
… and this is how it looks like after I played with the Graphic Tablet for a while:
… our moment of Homer J.:
Homer: I am so smart! I am so smart! S-M-R-T! I mean S-M-A-R-T…

Those firsts are priceless.. beautiful picture Sanni!
Another great photo for this weeks theme. You are very clever and creative. Happy weekend.
Those photos are awesome. The second one is fantastic.

I love how you did that. Great photo and well done!
I’m up too. Have a good weekend.
Very nicely done!
First of all, congratulations on winning that contest. Great prize!
Secondly, very nice work on the photos; Luis looks soooooo cute. Was he scared of the water?
Awwwww… SWEET picture of Father and son. And cute effects too!
Precious!
I like what you did.
Nope, I don’t like it…I LOVE IT!!!
The water droplet picture is awesome. You’re very talented and can see why you got the award. Grin!!!
I am not surprised you won that design contest; you rock! Very nice picture, Sanni. And I’m still waiting for info on your flat belly technique!
Wow…. You are a High Tech Girl!!!
Great pictures of hubby and son.What is a Graphic Tablet?? Baba
What a cool effect!
Those are some excellent pictures! My daughter would probably love to have that Graphic Tablet that you mentioned as she’s really into that sort of stuff. I’m a total idiot when it comes to Photo Shop and what-not!
What a cute picture of Luis. Very cool how you designed both pictures. What program are you using? Have a nice weekend.
That picture is so gorgeous, and the graphic pad made it so much fun!!
I played too
That is a great gift to work with. Love the pictures in a teardrop. Very nice for this weeks theme.

So cute!
Wonderful photo. 
The manipulation you’ve done with the graphics tablet is terrific! 
What a fun toy you won (and congratulations!). And what a priceless memory in that photo.
So cute the little and big man ! That really was a nice price, I also like to play around with such things.
BTW Hootin Anni with her wild west woke up souvenirs so I wrote today when we had to go through an Indian reservation in 1971 !
Damals war Amerika noch kein Touristenland und die Bänke in den Südstaaten immernoch für “Whites” only ! Die Indianer waren auch nicht viel besser dran, aber das verschweige ich lieber !
Nice! a baby in a waterdrop. Very cool.
Mine’s up, not as creative as yours. Have to go out and win me a prize like that.
Graphic tablet, eh? I confess, I’ve never heard of this before but I’m intriqued! What a great picture of daddy and son! And I love the little dude’s hat. *grin*
Nice photo play. Enjoy the weekend!
Wow, with the talent we all knew you had to start with and now with the tablet to help create those things, you should be unstoppable. Great work and awesome photos
How fun! I love how you played with your picture! I love manipulating photos too, but I’m not nearly as good at it as you are!
Very cool! I loves me computer toyz.

oh what fun sanni! and i am ever so sorry to be so late today, the day just sort of got away from me honey…
smiles, bee
That’s a lovely photo, and I love what you did to it with your win, congratulations on that as well.
What happened, well we went away for 4 days to the Lake District, he said he’d like to move there, we talked about buying a guest house together but it was all talk. We came back and later in the week he said about moving to a town near the national park (Lake District), I said okay.
I’ve since applied for three jobs up there and I’m in the process of applying for a fourth.
I’m now thinking everyone else who reads this is going to be wondering what we’re (I’m) talking about lol.
Hi Sanni. Congratulations on your award. I love the nice effects you added to the photo. I love the nice frame and lovely water droplets. Very creative!
How nice that you were able to take a photo of Luis’ first contact with the sea. A precious memory worth keeping.
Thank you for sharing.
That’s amazing! You have one item from the photo in each little drop. It’s beautiful! You must’ve had a lot of fun creating that.
Beautiful effect of the pictures specially the ‘droplet of water’.
@ Bee : I´m glad you´re here, Bee… doesn´t matter when
It makes me always happy to see you´ve visited me!
@ letha: WOO-HOO! I´m so happy for you - and deeply impressed as well. Lake District is a beautiful area - I wish you all the best, honey!
@ Heart of Rachel: Thanks a lot =) - I´m addicted to taking pictures of Luis´1st´s *giggle*
@ meeyauw: Glad you like it - and you´re right - it was lots of fun!
@ Lynn : Thanks for the nice compliment! =)
