Family Photos

It's kind of hard to take family photos of your own family. Last year we attempted a portrait swap with my bestie. It turned out pretty good, but it was SO COLD, and neither of us quite had the skills that we needed to take full family portraits. My cousin is a friend with Amy Luna from Embrace Life Photography, and as Amy was getting started I started falling in love with her photos. In February I booked a session with her for August, so last weekend we headed to Denver for our first real professional family portrait session. I know I definitely have my favorites, and I love the plans I have for these. They will look beautiful in a gallery wall in my living room someday...

Birthday Cards

I had a really productive week this week. Hubby and I cleaned out the garage, and we both agree that it was the best project yet that we had done together! No fighting, working together, planning, dreaming, shopping, building... it was wonderful! I also went shopping with my bestie at the scrapbook store last week and left totally inspired. I saved the stuff I bought with her to have a scrapbook day, but I pulled out an old stack I had and got to work. I am also excited that I decided to list the cards I made in my Etsy store! My store needed a good dusting off, but they have really done well updating the interface and I was able to list all 10 cards in about 30 minutes. Piece of cake compared to what it used to be! On the blog I'll feature a card a day again, so enjoy for the next 10 or so days!

A Smile For Your Day

Our church had it's annual Summer Bash this past weekend. Little Miss C got her face painted, and I quote, "with a scary green dragon." Sometimes she can be girly, but sometimes she is all tomboy!
