My Photo on TV!!!

My mom was watching Fox News when she saw this photo that I took for my unit 2 photo project on a commercial for New York Institute of Photography! They had given me a merit award and purchased it to include in their student archives. I never dreamed they'd use it for a TV commercial!!

Chick Flick Anyone??

Anyone interested in coming over for a good chick flick? I'm thinking early January... Like January 6th??? We'll make a party of it. I'll pull out my Chocolate Fondue Fountain and some fruit for it. And everyone can bring a little something to snack on... Maybe we can even order out for pizza!! :) BUT, we also need to decide WHICH movie we are going to watch... A few suggestions were Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, North and South, and Ever After (which I've never seen before!). Anyone game???? If so, let me know your thoughts like when you are available and what you want to watch...

What Did You Get???




I thought it would be fun if everyone shared what they got for Christmas! I got sparkly socks. I collect socks and my sparkly socks got a hole in them so Heather found a new pair for me! :) I also got body lotion and a Chocolate Fondue fountain. Which I'm planning on using for our chick flick night! (I'll be posting 'bout that soon!) And monkeys! Monkey slippers and monkey pj's!! Oh yes... And Brett's parents got me a 2 gig memory card for my camera and a book on lighting. YAY! So... what did you get???

Amanda and Michael

I worked hard this past week putting together an album of Amanda and Michael's wedding. The toughest part was choosing which pictures to leave out!!! Sure would love to know what you all think....

A Family Tradition



Every year I allow my kids to pick out an ornament for the Christmas tree. It makes for an interesting assortment of ornaments!

Tootles and Tinkerbell

Tootles died yesterday. Mice don't live very long... about 2 years I guess and we don't know how old he was when we got him. He was a good little mouse and model too! (After all, it was a picture of him that earned me second place over at Better Photo!) We had a lot of fun with him. In spite of the fact that he was a mouse!











We went to the pet store and got another little mouse for Jessi. They assured us that this one is a baby so hopefully she will be with us a little longer. Keeping with the Peter Pan theme - Jessi named her Tinkerbell. She seems as friendly as Tootles was and Jessi is having fun with her new pet.

I can't believe how much fun I had watching the mice at the pet store. They had just put a wheel in the cage and they were so excited 'bout their new toy. At times there were 3 mice on it at once!!! And one time there was one mouse that was running on it while another one just hung on and spun around and around and around. There was a whole crowd standing around the mice watching their funny antics!!!

The Slumber Party




I had a blast shooting a mock slumber party last week. You can find several of these photos in my stock galleries (though they aren't all up yet!).


And, as there has been a request for Christmas pictures - maybe I'll do a Christmas collage next!

Grumpy

I'm feeling rather grumpy today. What do you do when you are feeling ornery???? I think I'll curl up on the couch and bury myself in a good book!

Abstract Art


I'm not a huge fan of abstracts - but I've had a lot of fun playing around with them the past few days.... It's interesting how completely different they feel by simply changing the colors! This one kinda reminds me of a rose or a silk cloth. But make it blue and it makes me think of the ocean....
