happy monday everyone
(and last day of Nov.)

we have had a few people unable to finish their ornaments in time.
life happens and i totally understand.

i have created a poll that if you are participating, should have got e-mailed to you.

i am very excited about the swap.
i have been in nevada/utah for the past week.
tomorrow is our last day.
i will miss my family
i will miss the mountains
i will not miss how dry it is here
chapped lips and dry skin are no fun!

i have had a wonderful time
but look forward to all the fun
december has to hold for us!

everyone have a great monday!

randomness

i have a huge tendancy to find lots of cool websites, bookmark them and forget about them.
i don't easily become obsessed with things, which can be very discouraging.
i end up just liking anything and everything!

so in no particular order (or reason), here are some of my bookmarked items.

lovely garlands

Gingerbread Caramels

Grape Fizz Cowl

toy-a-day blog

T-shirt to Newborn Gown

Hot Apple Cider in Apple Cups

hope you enjoy!
happy sunday!

a little something from me to you

yesterday, while i was getting my hair did for a wonderful and moving wedding. i was talking to the lady at toni and guy. we were talking about photography, i kind of have lost touch with my photography lately. but talking to her makes me want to get at it more...but after talking to her she told me
you have inspired me
it was moving and exciting that i have inspired anybody and that is one of the things i want to do in my life. i was myself and excited about talking about photography and my journey of photography.
i will try and post more personal pictures
more things that go on with my life
more crafts and more of the wonderful things my
eyes see.
i saw this today and hope it will help you in finding yourself if you feel a little lost.

smiling makes people wonder

i am going to start doing Jamie's Thankful Thirty. So to catch up...here is 3 things I am thankful for.

My family - they have taught me to take life slow, see people for who they are and appreciate life.



Charlie - he teaches me something new everyday. he loves me for who i am and allows me to grow and keeps me grounded when things start to feel tough.



To have a roof over my head - although I wish it was a bigger rough, it keeps me warm, it keeps me dry, i get to have a nice bed to go to every night and running water to take hot showers.

****I couldn't find a picture of the outside of my house...will take one tomorrow**

Comment and let me know you are also participating, because I would love to see what you are thankful for!!

Come back tomorrow for another thing I am thankful for and I will also do the 34 random things from Vivs blog!!

Go Sign up!!

I know I will!! I am extremely excited about this class and you can win a spot before they go on sale!! What is better than taking a super fun craft online class...taking one for free.

So head over there and get on it! Cause I want to see the fun things you make!
