whatever

blue lily

i had just whispered a line from "it's complictated"....cracked him up. (can you guess which one?)
i like this shot a lot.



and then this was taken by annie...luring her back into the picture taking.
she had run down the alley saying she was done with pictures.
wendy was awesome and shared the camera with annie. 
i love it.






.

this one is my favorite.
this one will be BIG in our house.

i love that MY family is captured for a moment in time....and that i am in the pictures with them.

blue lily has a passion for color.
and you know i like color....so we are perfect together.
(me and the hundreds of other families they have worked with...)

wendy and tyler work seamlessly together.
i enjoyed watching them work....and took mental notes.

they travel all over the WORLD taking pictures.
that is the best job.

ever.

thank you wendy and tyler for this day...this memory....this gift of frozen time that cannot be taken away.
you are so good at what you do.

now....go see if they are coming to YOUR town soon.
and if they aren't, then pick one and go there anyway...you will be glad you did!

:)

*ps....thank you kim(berlee) for helping me look so fabulous (at least i felt fabulous).
you were a trooper through all those stores...all those jeans....all those shirts...all that makeup.
thank you.

**pss....typepad is not doing some of these justice.
they POP with color and are super sharp.
if you click on them it's a little brighter.
i don't know why it's doing that.  and i am not going to figure it out today.

i LOVE this....you will too!

this arrived in my mailbox.
and i am in love.

stephanie at geezees is super creative and talented.


black and white, printed on stretched canvas.
it's bold and graphic.

did i tell you that i love it?  i do!







isn't it so cool?
(it's not chalk...i just had it sitting by our chalkboard and chalk...)

stephanie has made many beautiful pieces.
she has great prices too.

she has art made for family and friends.
pieces made for weddings or for love.
and pieces like mine of words....verses....quotes...children's names and birthdates. 

the possibilities are endless!

what would you have her create for you?
what would it say?

go and tell stephanie all about it.

thoughts....

*  i like cow paintings....i want to own one....brown cow, green grass, oil paint....
the real thing...BIG....
someday.










*my washer and dryer finished their loads at the same time
and they both were singing their song together. (we made up words to the laundry jingle)
like the dvd symbol going into the corner of the tv screen that no one sees but pam.
i don't think it will ever happen again.


* i said at 6 AM in my half sleep with one eye cracked open....."i hate exercise...it's lame"
craig was getting dressed and laughed a little.
then he straightened out the sheets and blankets over me.
i had the sheet almost all at my neck!  i must have been dreaming about exercise.


* have you heard of french bull?
i just found it last night.
i started to sweat as i clicked through their store.....not kidding.
LOOK!

i will take one of each please.
so beautiful.


* craig keeps telling me to answer your questions from a month ago.
i think he is as curious to hear what my answers are as anyone.  :)


* i have scored in the thrifty goodness this week.
a killer quilt...gold mirror (now turquoise)....a frame....a globe in the perfect shade of blue....

and a jesus plate.
i love a good thrift week.


* yesterday i made banana muffins and ate two with a cup of coffee


while playing memory with annie


in a clean kitchen


all before 9:30.
i felt fabulous....happy...content....full.
it was one of those moments that you know you should soak in every second
before she grows up and it's gone.
