Maybe I should be: cleaning, exercising, working, who knows! I love the smell of: pumpkin spice, Cool Water, hubby’s tomato sauce cooking. People would say that I: am shy until I get to know you. I don’t understand why: so many people are inconsiderate and rude. When I wake up in the morning: I try to think what day it is. I lost my willpower to: stay in shape. If there’s a dessert in the room: I’ll eat it, more than likely. Life is: full of surprises. My past made me: a bit paranoid. I get annoyed when I: am…

Drew, who now wants to be called Lil’ Man, has for the longest time wanted a garden. Well with all the woods in our backyard it doesn’t really lend itself to that. I’ve seen how tomatoes grow really well upside down. And instead of spending $20 on the Topsy Tomato planter we decided to make our own and recycle at the same time. We used an empty ice cream container. I cut a hole in the bottom. In order to prevent the dirt from falling out of the bottom of the bucket we used some screen. At first I wasn’t…

Well, I should be busy editing pictures of the 2 soccer teams & players I did this past week among about 2,000 pics I took at a soccer tournament last weekend. But….my computer decided she needed some time off. (she, he, whatever.) 🙂 Anyway, I’m praying that it is the Logic Board like the initially diagnosed, just in hearing my description of what it was doing. I’m so bad about backing stuff up that there’s no telling what I would lose and not realize it for the longest time. I was able to backup all of my photos since I…

I was going to write a nice post about my younger child, but it has been literally a NON-stop day! So I’ll just let the pictures do the talking for now. Can’t believe he’s FIVE!

Original Here’s my “fixed” pic. I felt like this picture would look different with a ‘washed’ out look.

We went last week to Texas. It was a very quick trip to see Grandmother and try to get all my stuff from the house. We brought a ton of stuff back. Nothing of great value and really when you look at it all, it looks like a bunch of junk! But one man’s junk is another man’s treasures, right? And most of this stuff I brought back is treasure to me. If you asked me how you box up memories, I’d show you the boxes of stuff sitting in my living room. I emptied 2 of the boxes last…

Be sure to check out I ♥ Faces to see all the other beautiful faces that have been entered into the contest! This is my first adult entry. I guess because I never feel very confident that I have anything good enough. I had lots of cool black and whites from this recent maternity session, but they were all faceless! Didn’t figure that would fly to well with I ♥ Faces contest. 🙂

The title is written with such sadness, but at the same time I feel a comforting warmth over me… My Grandmother has been in and out of the hospital for a couple months now. Every time I talk to her lately she makes it sound like she knows the end is near. You know you hear of people who say there’s not much time left, but I’ve never really stopped to think about that person. I think about Grandmother and picture her sitting in a hospital room. I found myself trying to put myself in her shoes. How would it…

Over on this awesome site, they do Fix it Friday, where this original picture is straight out of the camera and needs a little help. I messed around and tried several different things including some different actions. I’ve been indecisive about posting this photography here or on my photog biz site. Guess I’ll just stick with it here. =) Original – “Redheaded Beauty” #1 Nothing Extreme – This one I hand corrected without any actions. #2-9 Are all done with actions. Just playing around really. 🙂 #2 Muted Fashion #3 Muted Fashion – edited and cropped #4 Troy #5 GlamBlur…

I found a very cool site, which caused me to have a blast from the past because while looking at this awesome new site, I saw this: Anyway, when I saw this, my mind went retro and I just started thinking of all the things that I used to love to play with. Although some seem a bit obscure, they were still toys that I spent hours and hours with. So the picture above lead me to think of the Spirograph Toy. It seems they have a modernized one: I did love to draw and do artsy stuff, so this…
