Did you know they make Polaroid attachments for holgas?  They do!  I just got mine and after nearly 2 packs of film and several expletives I finally figured the darn thing out (ummm…i needed more light)   It’s so funny to see the kids reaction to polaroid.  To them it’s like magic, ‘it makes the picture […]

We got a bit of snow today (more than expected), but luckily the kids were already off to school by the time it really hit.  Snow is enough of a novelty here, that school is cancelled at the drop of a snowflake.  So, I am happily working away and enjoying the view.  I am finishing […]

We’ve been having wonderfully foggy mornings followed by sunny afternoons.  Really beautiful, perfect for looking for frost dragons and making fairy houses (or so I’m told).

I volunteered to work on my daughter’s class auction project.  If you have school aged children you know what this is.  To raise money each class creates something to be auctioned off.  I actually really enjoy doing it and thinking of something that has not been done.   So, I think we’ve settled on creating a […]

I always grab extra paint chips when we go to the paint store and stick them up on my inspiration board over my desk.  It’s an easy way to see color combos, plus I just like the way they look pinned up there.  When I saw this I realized I could take it to a whole new level.   […]
