I’m a little late in posting this, but it’s Theme Thursday at The Land of K.A.  It’s all about summer fun, which we’re having, but I’m posting a picture of something that’s more about the potential of fun.  Meet the draft stage of J’s kick-ball pinatas.  See, his birthday is coming up in a little over a month, and we’re having a party. All the kids are under 4, so instead of having them hit each other with a stick while they try to figure out how to get the candy out of a pinata, I’m doing these.  They double as party decorations–I’ll be hanging them from a tree for the kids to marvel over before the actual kicking commences.  If it all works, I’ll be posting a tutorial in a month or so.  Really, I’m thinking they’re going to be damn beautiful.  Yay.

PS:  Bloggy Givaway week is next week, I believe.  I’m giving away stuff.  Stay tuned!

I almost forgot! The theme of the week at The Land of K.A., and I have aged, well, an aged door on a junky old shed behind the house. J likes looking in, but doesn’t exactly want to actually go inside, as you can see. Other than that, we haven’t been to his grandparent’s farm for a few weeks, so there weren’t any really great options for getting good aged shots. Well, there’s that reason and the fact that I’m just plain lazy :)

If you have Adobe Lightroom, here’s a special treat: I’m including a preset for the photo above. Right click on the link, select “Save Link As…”, download, install and enjoy!
