More tree ornaments!

Hola! I am really realizing how bad I want snow, tons of it. Everything is gray and brown and I'm really not enjoying it. So I want a bunch of pretty sparkling white snow, soon.

Here are a few more pics from a couple days ago...

I had fun playing around with some snow effects on picmonkey.

Cute right?

Are you like me, and want snow?

Christmas Ornament

Hello hello! Here is just a quick photo from one of my many sessions with my camera, tripod and the Christmas tree.

I've had fun taking lots of pictures inside of all the fun Christmas stuff, now I cant wait to take pictures of all the Christmas things outside (and the snow, if we had any..). I really want a bunch of snow (don't tell my dad I said that.) so I can take lots and lots of pictures, at least if its not too cold.

Flowers

Hello hello! If you haven't seen it yet, what do you think of my new blog design? Here is a look at it before...

Big difference right? I am so excited with the result! Please let me know what you think. Suggestions are always welcome!

Today I am sharing a macro of some lovely flowers that I saw at the store. They were slightly wilted and getting a little case of brown and ick but they were still pretty!

I hope you enjoyed your visit, and if you don't follow me already I would love for you to do so!
If you would like, leave your blog address in comments so I can visit you in return! ;)

Hello hello! So what do you guys think of the new blog design?? If this is your first time visiting my blog here is a before picture:



 I am quite happy with how it turned out. So here we go on to the hunt!

 

 

 

So another mystery cat has decided to visit! We think she may be pregnant, but we are not sure.

My dad nicknamed her dancer because when shes standing she moves her feet around a lot like shes dancing. Isn't she just adorable?

Missing

Some numbers spelling out a price!

 

 

 Purple onions! They are called red onions but they are obviously purple.

 

 There was some awesome music on in the car and my little sis was dancing like crazy!

 

Last night we went to a christmas thing where you walk up and down and down this street and visit all of the stores and get free cookies and apple cider. One of stores we went into was a jewelry story and there was a little rack with bracelets and I was trying to take pictures through the glass and one of the ladys who worked there offered to take it out so I could take a clearer picture.

Please let me know what you think of my new blog design! There are still some little touches to be done, but it is almost the finished product!

Happy December!

Hello hello! I just been absent these past 2 weeks for a much needed bloggy break!

But I have been hard at work on my new blog design! If you visit for my SHS post later it should be here.

I can't wait to show it off! Now here is just a little picture to get you into the holiday spirit!

Happy December!

Hello again!

This week was full of cooking and cleaning, but that is what usually happens every year during this time of year! Love the Thanksgiving theme this week... And don't forget, I have a big blog makeover coming up, can't wait to show it off! Now on to the hunt.

I am always thankful on Thanksgiving, this is one of the many things we made on Thursday.

Home Or Thankful

 This was my big dish for the holiday, mashed potatoes with goat cheese and chives, or in my case, parsley, because it turned out we didn't have any chives!

In The Kitchen

 I've been getting a couple cookbooks lately, really just a couple...

Couple

 Made some applesauce today and it was bubbling like crazy!

Bubbles

 There were lots of trees when we went on a little weekend getaway.

Little Mushroom

Hello hello! It feels awesome to be blogging again after a week off. Today I'm doing my weekly routine of Texture Tuesday.

So my sister and I were in the woods looking for cool things to take pictures of and I saw this perfect little mushroom, I took a few pictures and this is my favorite! 

Texture used was Kim Klassen's Kristin.

Hello hello! I decided to take a break from blogging this week, but I am happy to be back!

I am off to spend the weekend at a waterpark so this will be another quick one...

This was my vision on Friday night. So pretty!

Vision

The sunset had really really strong colors!

Strong

I was going to cover this in buttons but I couldn't find the whole box of buttons that we have?
So I did beads instead.

Buttons (Beads)

I'm not sure how this is a map, but its what I'm using this week.

Oranges are SO good! They taste good and they are my favorite color.

Absent

Hello hello!
In case you are wondering why I have been absent, I am just taking a week long break from blogging so I can get some inspiration and creativity back.

I will see you all again soon!

SHS 11.10.12.

Hello hello! Once again I am in a hurry, I have ODP soccer (Olympic Developmental Program) tomorrow!

So here we go...

I found this cool little mushroom outside, it was tiny!

Nature

The barn is really vintage looking, we don't use it because it is literally falling apart but I love looking and taking pictures.

Vintage

This is the most whimsical thing that I have ever had. I just won it in a giveaway from Emily!

Whimsical

So this picture really didn't turn out well, but it was so good! I made Migas. You can my post about it here.

Cooking

This one may not have been one of my best this week, but it is one of my favorites!

I love the reflections in it.
