A Day in Makeup
I love makeup. It’s one of my very favorite things about being a girl. So for this week’s Fashion Friday I’m going to tell you about some of my favorite products. I’ve used all sorts of brands since I first started wearing makeup, and I’ve finally found products that I love to wear. If I…
Read MoreIt’s 1988 all over again
To start with my dad use to help with the fireworks at the fairgrounds many years ago. In 1988 we watered the infield to prevent fires. ’88 is the first crop year I can really remember, I remember everyone talking about how dry it was. I was 3 and I got to ride with Dad…

It’s always hot out on the 4th of July, and this year was definitely not an exception. Matt (my husband) went out to the fairgrounds bright and early at 8 am and didn’t make it home until 11 pm. That morning he helped the fireworks people get set up, before helping with some electrical issues…

Read More2012 Relay for Life
Last weekend was the 2012 Gibson County Relay for Life. I’ve been helping “Uncle” Dave DJ the event for the last several years. It’s always a great event, but this year was especially awesome. This year’s Relay raised $87,000 and a lot of fun was had doing it. The evening started with a “Celebration” flash…
Read MoreColor Week: Black & White
For this final day of color week, we’re going to be featuring black and white. I had a lot of fun with this one – mostly because I love a good black and white photograph. I did take photos of lots of things that were already white or black to begin with, but I’m super…
Read MoreColor Week: Violet
Just because it’s Saturday doesn’t mean that color week is over. Today is violet (or purple). Lacking Barney the dinosaur walking around town this one is actually a bit difficult. Fortunately, I do have a butterfly bush in my yard, so I could take a photo of that. Violet
