NINE | Thankful Thought No.4
Today I'm thankful that Simon has been coming home, giving me a big hug, and then turning around and going right back outside to shoot baskets.

Go, Simon go.

Thankful Thought | 001 included a rounded corner mask and a video tutorial to show you how to work with both the mask and the photo overlay.
The video of Simon is wonderful, so happy to hear his voice!
I love that he shoots 9 for his age. I just started exercising this year at a gym and they have an indoor basketball court. I have never played basketball, but wanted to set a challenge for myself making hoops. I am 55 yrs. old, so I started with a goal of 5 baskets a day. I would shoot hoops until I successfully made 5 baskets each day. Then I increased it to 10 (5 + 5). I am working on that goal now. I will think of Simon when I am making baskets!

My 2 1/2 yr old son came in while I was watching this video. He said 'that boy's hooping it up!' and wanted to watch it again and again. Thanks for sharing.
love that.

love that you're capturing stories in video as well...reminds me of "motion scrapbooking" that Izzy talks about in the paperclipping digi show. I enjoy video editing, but don't do it much b/c I take more still photos than video....but every time i play around in iMovie I love the results. Must try.
and one more thing....tell Simon he's dabomb dot com!!!

[...] a phrase from my new You Are Awesome word art. You might recognize the photo from last week’s Thankful Thought post. I’m thinking I might burn that little video to a DVD and add it into this [...]
