It's a day of excitment.
It's a day of anxiety.
It's the day we sign the papers for our new house!
My, that sound's wonderful. :) For real. Can NOT wait. It's gonna be amaze.

So sometime, really soon, [when I have time, so perhaps NOT really soon] I'm going to get some pictures of our new place on here for ya'll to see. :)

P.S. FYI. no high-speed = no pictures. sorry. :(

melting crayon fails:
FAIL!



successful melting crayons:



It was a cold, wintery day and my kid sibs were playing the snow. Mom and i were packing when i came across a much too full box of crayons. [half of them broken and never used] i remembered when i was younger, my mom showing us how to melt crayons to form larger, more fun crayons. So i began. And quickly ended with an epic fail. And i began again, a mite more successfully than before. So after the crayons were melted and quickly hardening into a sticky mess, a question popped into my brain: How am i going to remove these suckers? This is where the cold, wintery [snow covered] day came into play. When i had almost given up, i frustratedly threw the warm pan into a mound of snow and walked away. 2 minutes later when i returened, wouldn't you know it. Every one of those beautiful little crayon blobs and dislodged themselves from the pan. [Save yourself headache and only melt crayons when there's snow on the ground :)] My siblings loved 'em but they don't even use them to color. I guess they just enjoy touching them and stuff. :) Anyway, i thought they were too fabulous & colorful to NOT take pictures of. ]







old quilts with fabulous fabric:









tulips and daffodils:



...okay. not daffodils. just tulips. horray for spring!

{its a senior thing}

Senior: n. a student in the final year of highschool or college

I'm planning on taking Michael's senior pictures, and could really use some help here. [ahh!] I struggle finding masculine enough poses. Now girls, esp. little ones, are a piece of cake. Then theres small-ish [8-12] guys that get a little tough, but senior guys? Really? How I'm gonna wing this, I have yet to know. Haha!

So here's what I'm asking: If you know of a photographer [any photographer] who you've been impressed with their work, esp if they have some pretty fab senior photos, could you just post a comment with their website name. That'd be awesome. Ooor. If you have any ideas or shots you'd like to share, feel free. Cause I seriously need some help... :]

100 of this....

I have an idea. Got it from someone else, actually. And here. it. is.

I'm going to challenge myself to take 100 photos of a certain object. The person who I got the idea from used an old camera. It forces you to use creativity. A.k.a...I'm gonna bore you to death. :) Anyway, I'm planning to use....{bum-ba-da-da!}...a bouquet of dried dill stems!!! [waits for the raise of the eyebrows...] And this is gonna be fun.

Yes, I know what your thinkin'..."Well I'm glad SOMEONE finds such joy in ugly dried dill stems." Hehe! But really, I am excited. [and these things are probably more beautiful than they sound...]

Well, did I forget to mention that this has a dueo incentive?

Yes, it does.
Incentive #1: inspire me to take more pictures...
AAAnd....
Incentive #2: make me blog more....? Yeah, well that's the idea. Hehe...

So I haven't started yet. But I will as soon as I can. Cause member...I'm really excited?!

Oh yes. And this thing isn't necessarily supposed to be done in 100 days, but definately in a year. So a year is the goal I guess. :)

guys. for those of you who dont know. [i just discovered some didn't] i got a new camera. canon rebel. its pretty sweet to say the least. so yeah, just wanted to throw that out there. ;) more on that later though.
