*this* is what summertime looks like

Had a little cookout tonight with family.

I had fun taking pics :-)

Kessler and Diet Coke ... my favorite.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

These are my new backdrops I created today :-)

Aren't they just totally fun? I can't wait to use them tomorrow when I take pics of Jaelynn. Hopefully they look cool and I can get the colors to look vibrant mixed with trying to get good skin tones. If so, I'm definately making some of these in lots of different colors and textures!

It's a Beautiful 82* Today

Just another photo mosaic I created using images from here!

Enjoy summer!

It'll be gone way too soon!

A Wonderfully Awesome Photography Mosaic...

Click to make it bigger. It looks better that way.

Sweet Baby Boy & Mommy

Had a little shoot this morning with a sweet baby boy Kellan.

Here's one for now.

I love it.

Hopefully Mommy will too!

Leaving You With Three...

Had a fabulous couple of days with my brother and almost sister-in-law.

Took their engagement photos today.

Well, I should say, I tried.

Crabby brother.

Here are just three for now.

Daughtry

Ended up getting Daughtry tickets last minute at Summerfest. Loved his show! He really knows how to rock it and get a crowd of over 10,000 into it! Sounds awesome live too!

*A WaLk ThRu My HOmE*

First off, *ALL* of these photos are STRAIGHT OUT OF THE CAMERA!!!

Fun colors, hey?

I did resize them for the web, but that doesn't count.

Two coffee pots? Yes, that's right. Might be the explanation for why we're so crazy.

My mom's art: quilting.

Down in my scraproom. Love me some green bowls all filled up with yummy embellishments that are good enough to eat.

The way Mom decorates.

Tasty tasty ribbons....

Where all the magic happens.

For stopping by the blog today ....

Fridge love. Bottlecaps totally rock it up for me.

3 vacays -- Myrtle Beach, Cozumel, Punta Cana

I'm not the only one with a stash of craft stuff I'll never use ... ahem, Mo-oom! For me it's paper, for her it's fabric!

It was a picture day!

Some photos I took of baby doll today --

Have a Happy ...

Fourth of July Weekend ... And Week!

Let the *fireworks* sparkle!

Scrap Therapy

My Day Yesterday

Went to the Farmer's Market in Madison at the Capitol Square yesterday. We, as in me and my dad, actually went for the "Cows on the Square" festival, because you all know how much I love me some moo cows, but it was a lot smaller of an event than we expected. I snapped a couple pics though.

Then it started to DOWNPOUR! Like seriously pour! So we went inside the Capitol for awhile and I took some pics inside there. Here's one ... I think its so neat bc State Street is the cool, funky, downtown place in Madison. (I think so anyways). And State Street is one of the streets that stems from Capitol Square. I think there are 5 streets that stem from the square. It's pretty cool.

I did have fun with my dad yesterday though. We never hang out like that, so it was weird, but still really nice.

We went and had lunch at the yummy "State Street Brats" bar/pub thingy while the rain settled down. I had the best red brat ever! Then after that we headed back to the farmer's market and got some bread, cheese curds, and flavored popcorn, and a really delish huge chocolate chip and toffee cookie for me. Ha.

Here's a pic I took outside of the parking ramp ... I wish I could've gotten more pics but obviously, my nice camera + rain = not a good situation. It was torture to be all inspired and to "see" things to photograph, but I couldn't. I'm going to have to go back on a nicer day.

And just a fun one from the other when I was baking.
