  • Why?

    I have a million things I could post about – pictures with my new lens, pumpkin carving, field trips, and photo shoots. But, truth be told, my mind has been elsewhere since Friday afternoon. All I can think about is Stef and what she’s going through. My heart is breaking for her and her family.… Read more

  • Breast Cancer Awareness

    I am now aware. You or I can get breast cancer. Without any risk factors. It can strike anyone at anytime. And, yesterday, it struck a very dear friend of mine. I’m devastated, confused, angry, sad, and upbeat and determined at the same time. Tia has designed a Komen Foundation icon in honor of our… Read more

  • I think I’m in love 🙂

    I got a new lens today. And some potential good news about a friend. Making for a very happy, happy day! *ETA: The lens is the Tamron 17-50/f2.8 (here). I was so worried about getting a third party lens, but this one came highly recommended and it has great reviews. So far, the color and… Read more

  • Our trip to Nebraska

    We stayed at the most wonderful lodge in Nebraska City – the home of Arbor Day, actually. I can’t wait to go back again. We had a beautiful room on the 3rd floor, with french doors overlooking huge orchards and paths into the woods. Tom and Andrew got ready to go see the Texas –… Read more

  • Lovin’ this!!

    I just have to say how much I love this tool!! I’ve had a the cropadile for months now, but have never sung its praises. And I’m not much of a tool person and I hadn’t used eyelets in months, but I love this thing. I can’t stop making mini-albums with it!!! And, yes, Stef… Read more

  • Leeeeaaaavinggggg on a ….

    oh boy, no, it’s not a jet plane. Rather, we’re leaving in a loaded down minivan for a 9 hour drive to Nebraska. Drive there on Friday and drive home on Sunday. Sound like torture to you?????? NOPE!!! Not even close! We are a roadtrip family and we can’t wait to pile in the van… Read more

  • Thank you – one year later

    ,

    One year ago today, I took Emily to a new pediatrician for her annual physical. And within 2 minutes, she was diagnosed with Type I Diabetes (last year’s entry). I was so terrified her health, her wellbeing, and her future. And now we sit here one year later and it’s so much a part of… Read more

  • I may have found a roadtrip

    If you were paying attention to my last post, you might remember that I mentioned that I was really feeling the need for a roadtrip. And feeling the need to see some scrapping friends. And I was seriously investigating some possibilities and lining up some dates that looked good. Ya know, carefully planning it all… Read more

  • Update and stuff

    So……I’ve gotten too busy to keep up with anything lately. Here’s my attempt at a catch up post. It’s been almost 3 weeks since I’ve scrapped. And I don’t know when I’ll get back to it. The good news is that I’m getting some photography clients and the editing and uploading, paperwork, ordering, etc. is… Read more
