shiny new toy

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 […]

cozy day

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 […]

and I have an addiction to chalkboard paint.  There I said it!  I can’t stop myself.  I just painted our powder room with the stuff.  Fun, no?

prints in the real world

It’s always fun for me to see where my work ends up after it is sent off to its new home.  I was thrilled to see a few of my prints hanging in this lovely home.

which came first

So a couple of weeks ago I got a haircut, a much needed haircut.  Then this morning we went and got my daughter’s hair cut.  When we came home, I realized we now have almost identical cuts…

foggy walks

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).

paint chips

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.   […]
