The dress, since you mention it, is draped over my monitor behind the cards so you can't see it and helps provide a nice dark backdrop which is what I wanted.
Nan was giggling herself silly all afternoon over the dress incident!

Quiet right.

I am planning to do a photography project using just smoke and mirrors - does that count?
