We had a lovely Easter this year at my Dad’s house. We celebrated with my sister Kayla and her husband Shane, my step-brothers David & Jeremy, their wives and kids, and my dad and his wife Carolyn. And thanks for Danielle for taking a few photos I was in. 🙂 How was your Easter? Sharing…

#OurProject52 – Spring and Growth

I love spring. As I get older (I’ll be 30 later this month!) It’s the perfect time of year to find new ways to continue to grow as a person. The beautiful warm weather (an impending swimsuit season) are making me want to get out and walk at lunch. It gives me a great opportunity…

#OurProject52 – Textures

This week on #OurProject52 is Photographer’s Choice. I was pretty excited about this, because I love texture and this is a great time of year to capture it.

#OurProject52 – Green

Is it spring yet? We’ve barely gotten rid of the snow, and my lawn is a muddy marsh.  In fact, the only truly green plant-life I’ve seen lately is what’s left of my Amaryllis. I don’t generally mind the winter, but I’m to the point that I’m ready for some sunshine and flowers. You can…

It’s the 1st week of Project 52, a weekly photography project thought up by the lovely ladies over at Everyday Eyecandy and Lipgloss and Binky.  I first heard about Project 52 from the lovely Natasha over at Houseful of Nicholes – it seems like I’m always stealing her blog ideas. Lucky for me she hasn’t…

Outside My Window

Today is Day #1 of the July Photo-a-Day Challenge from The Idea Room.  Today’s challenge is “out my window”.  It happens to have been pouring rain all morning, so today’s photo is a shot of a sad and lonely tree against the grey sky out my back widow at the office. It’s not the prettiest…

Grama’s Quilt

Even though my first “official” quilt was the one that I made for my sister’s wedding gift, I did have another project before then.  I made 9 quilt photo quilt blocks a wall hanging.  The blocks each contained family photos of my grama and her family.  After I finished the blocks, my mom and uncle…
