whatever

stars.

have you heard of Kurt Knudsen of Piggy&Dirt?

i thought so.  
:)






i love the extra details on some of the center of the stars!

their shop is FULL of these beautiful handmade stars in all kinds of colors.
i have drooled over their shop for quite some time. 
this is ART!
such happy art. 

they also have baker's twine in lots of colors....


in large and small quantities.  

and these very cool and unique banners made from metal letters.
kinda quirky....new and different.....i love them.



and i linked this glass robot awhile back in my happy things list ....isn't it so fabulous?!


i am still hoping for it to be in my home someday.




AND THEY HAVE JEWELRY!!!
how adorable are those little baby stars on necklaces?!!!
i swoon. 

this is my star.
clear with 5 different patterns in the glass with a turquoise blue center.




 
it was a hard decision....and probably the first of many i will own.
it is so happy to look at.
i hung it in my craft room because that is my happy space.

one of the best days i have ever had.

our second photo shoot scheduled in utah.......the models never showed.
we were disappointed.
and hot.
and wendy says "let's do it ourselves!"
and we did.

this is 7 photographers getting to have a BLAST while the other 11 practiced their action shots in sunlight.
that was the point.
a COLORFUL shoot....with action and light......ready GO!

(all of these photos were taken by Kelley and Kim....both excellent photographers!)

this is powder...not paint.
it was a little  hard to breathe but not bad.
it was only bad if it went right in your eyes....but still you could recover....i did....and tyler did too.



 

































it was the best time.
i LOVED doing it.
i laughed and laughed.
it was soooo fun!

i am so glad the models never showed.
it was so much better this way.

and it all came off in the shower.
:)

 

utah was amazeballs.

out of the 18 of us....there was one PC...everyone else had a MAC.  :)


 

auwww....walking to the ski lift.




my buddy crystal from the workshop in san diego.
pretty hair.
cute shirt! 

sandy....crazy.  :)


lisa was my roomie.
she takes rad pictures.


kelley was also at the san diego workshop!
and she had mirror glasses...my favorite.


i gave wendy my camera and asked her to take some head shots for me.
you will be seeing these for a year now.
she is goooooood.
i love them. 

HA!



note to self:
never go to the top of a mountain without cute red beads on.....you never know where your new head shot will be waiting for you.






the happy couple again. 

the mosquitos were bad.
kim was being smart.
and it was cold.
i was wearing a big puffy red coat that wendy had in her car.

shooting the couple in the canoe....

getting ready to take pics of a newborn baby....




wendy the baby whisperer/disco dancer.
she had her hair twisted the night before & it was a huge afro the next day, which was what she was hoping for.
the coolest hair ever.


one of my baby shots.....his name was denver.


more teaching time before we left for our second and third shoots.


the third shoot had farm animals!




so much fun.

the second shoot is not shown here yet.
it was the most fun i have had in years.
i can't wait to show you.


i made it home easily.......happy to see my family.
ready to go NUTS on craft weekend prep.
it's ON.
