Where's the Sun?

As of Monday, I will not see the sun, except for weekends for about 5 months.  Although, I have a beautiful office, I don't have any windows.  I go to work between 6AM and 7AM and leave for home around 6PM. Which brings me to this photo.  I didn't have any natural light for it, so I tried it with a flash, without a flash, I dimmed the lights and took about a dozen photos before I chose this one.  It looks just a little fuzzy to me.


This pumpkin is from Serendipity and the sentiment is Hero Arts. I colored the image with Copis and added a little glitter. That was the other problem the flash was hitting the glitter just right, so it looked like there were areas that didn't get colored.
I am entering this in the Simply Less is Moore Challenge week-40 which is orange and red.

Such a pretty card. I'm in a don't feel like making cards mode right now. My daughter even called me to ask why I'm not posting. I guess I'll get back there. Wow, you work a lot of hours. We are not allowed to have overtime. That's good in a way.

Gail this card is gorgeous. You really did an amazing job coloring that fabulous stamp.

Sorry you will be missing the sun over the next few months. I go into work at 5am, but thankfully leave by 3pm so I at least get what is left of the sun on my commute home.

Again... great card.

Nothing worse than going to work in the dark and coming home in the dark.... but it DOES make the weekends extra special. This is a lovely card - fab image and even if the light didn't allow you to take a sharp pic, I can bet it looks fab 'in real life'.

About the sun....
Well,during the week, just pretend you live in Alaska, and on weekends, be sure to take in as must sun as you can.
Does your stamp room have windows?
