MAKING A LIVING My sister, Noelle, has finished editing and posted all the pictures from her last wedding shoot. This is the wedding that I was her little assistant.  To see the gallery of pictures click here.  To see Noelle’s blog post on the wedding click here.  Noelle works really hard at what she does and it…

IT’S ME Today is my day posting at Photo Frenzy. I have mentioned several times how bad I am at taking self portraits. I have shared several junk self portraits here on this blog! Here are several of my attempts at yet another self portrait.  I had an idea of what I wanted, but in the…

NEW FENCE A few years ago Mike and I landscaped our front and back yard.  We started from scratch digging trenches for the sprinklers (I say we, but really I just supported him through the window) all the way to laying sod, and planting in the flower beds.  Mike asked if I wanted him to…

I WISH the weekend would never end sometimes. We had an awesome weekend that started with chinese food Friday afternoon, and ended with an intense movie Sunday night.

Here we go again. My sister, Noelle, pointed out that I sew/craft when I am nervous or anxious as a way to destress.  I had never thought of that before, but I think she was right.  Before I left to help her photograph a wedding, I had to sew a quick bag.  Last year before we…
