30 day project,,

5it's morning time here in California.  There is no sunshine, just gloominess, which is weird for us Californians.  I wanted to share with you a photo project that I found on Amy Tangerines blog.  When I saw it I felt inspired and decided to give it a whirl.  I often don't take pictures of the simple things and this challenge really pushed me to do it.  And like I said before, I'm really into documenting right now, so this was perfect!  Plus, Carrie and myself decided to make a really simple mini with this challenge when we are done!  Can't wait to show you that!
These photos are all out of order.  I'm still trying to figure out the new blogger.

I recently started dabling in this and I can say that I am having tons of fun!!! My brother and his wife have been the best for letting me take photos of them! I think I've already shared some of these with you, but I haven't shared their cute little bundle of joy!! Oh, how I love her so much!! there is nothing better than a brand new baby!! They are so cute!! And she is so precious!!!

sunday, appointment with bubblegum life,,,

Hello Everyone!! This past Friday I had an appointment with bubblegum life. The appointment this week was The backdrop of your life. For this appointment, i took to my backyard and starting exploring. I had a blast!! In my collage below i took pictures of the grass, a flower, the roof, and a palm tree trunk. It was was really neat for me to do this. I was able to see things in a different light, and just appreciate the little things. I know corny, but it made me realize how much I don't stop to smell the flowers. Make sure you stop over at bubblegum life and check out what Carrie did!! She has some amazing backdrops!!

Check back tommorow for Project Monday!!

project monday,,,

today is Monday, this day is not my most favorite day of the week. Mostly because I know that it means that I have to go back to work. But, I am trying to keep Monday positive by thinking that it's a fresh day!,, A day that starts the week to new adventures! Let's begin Monday with a little project I am fond of. It's called Your Appointment with Friday. It's put on by the lovely girls of Bubblegum Life. On Friday, they give you a photo prompt and on Monday you come back and share it. This time around it was Autumn hues. So below you will find my favorite colors right now for this fall season! The top photo I took of these tiny flower bushes that grow right outside my house!,,the second is of a quilt I made a while ago. The colors are perfect for this season!!,,thanks for stopping by,,have a happy Monday!!
