A Season Of Change

September 10, 2009

With the exception of this sinus headache I have going on, I absolutely love everything about fall. I love the cool, crisp mornings and the cool evening wind.

Oh Deer, What Do We Have Here?

September 9, 2009

I fully intended to wow you with my photographic skills for this week’s You Capture Challenge. Because this week’s challenge is to “Photograph something (or multiple things) that you have never photographed before…the world is your oyster.” And since the world is my oyster, I thought I would take some really artsy, fartsy shots that looked [...]

Cleaning The Bathroom

September 8, 2009

I’m sure that title just screams, “I can’t wait to read this post!” Hopefully you’ll stick around despite the not-so-creative-title. It’s all I could come up with at this late, exhausting hour.

Right To The Point. Or Not!

September 3, 2009

There’s a lot of excitement and hoopla on the facebook about football starting this week. I couldn’t care less about football unless there is a party of people watching laughing and talking and plenty of food to eat. I follow the crowd and when they whoop and holler, I whoop and holler. Otherwise, I know [...]

Raise your hand if you’re ready for another fun week of You Capture… I for one, had a difficult time with this weeks’ challenge. Because old signs?

Organization Works For Me

September 1, 2009

This week’s ‘Works For Me Wednesday’ is a themed edition. Participants are asked to share an Organization tip. I am the most organized person I know. Well, maybe with the exception being my sweet mother-in-law. She and I are two peas in a pod when it comes to organization and our desire for all things to [...]
