I'm thinking about tackling number 27 (create a family photo wall) on my 28 Things list. I think I want an eclectic wall like the one above with a variety of frame sizes and colors. I also like the idea of adding some art in among the pictures. Thoughts?
I recently put some new pictures up on my photo blog: a couple of sweet babies and a wedding from back in December. You can check them out here.
I say, cold winter days call for warm rice pudding. It's been a favorite treat of mine lately so I thought I'd share the recipe I've been enjoying. I use this one, (minus the raisins and using light brown sugar instead of dark brown sugar the recipe calls for.) (Also, one time I tried to substitute 2% milk for the whole milk and it didn't work that well. Just an FYI.)
Remember the photo booth I blogged about awhile back? I got the great idea from my friend Stephanie to use it to make a Valentine for Jared. I had actually handwritten several different sentiments on the white paper but it wasn't really readable when the pics were developed so I ended up scanning it into Photoshop and added the text/shapes that way. I hope you all have a Happy Valentines Day!

I love the idea of mini Valentines so I instantly fell in love with this "little" idea I spotted on Inchmark (a blog definitely worth bookmarking if you haven't already)- Valentines made out of matchboxes. Clever indeed.
Today: 57
Seeing this in my mailbox today was almost better than receiving a real bouquet of flowers.
I woke this morning to the news that the groundhog saw his shadow, which means six more weeks of winter. But in Ohio, that really means twelve more weeks of winter. Damn you Punxsatawney Phil. Damn you.
my cell phone never gets charged and random people in my contacts list get prank phone calls from "me".
It has been really, really cold here lately but I'm trying to preoccupy myself with warm thoughts, this spinach dip , small sewing projects, Photoshop tutorials (I'm taking a class) and entertaining two very bored kiddos. How about you?
I finally got the pictures up from my friend's wedding in Philadelphia back in November. I have known Rachelle since grade school so it was really fun to be a part of her big day. I am also happy the pictures turned out especially considering the circumstances under which they were shot. To say it was FREEZING outside would be an understatement. Seriously, it was so, stinking, cold. Luckily, Rachelle and Jim were good sports and still managed beautiful smiles even though their teeth were chattering! (Come to think of it, maybe they were laughing just so they wouldn't cry. It was really that cold.) If you'd like to see more pictures, you can check them out here.
I still haven't purchased a 2009 wall calendar, which is very out of character for me. I have been given or purchased the Mary Engelbreit calendar every year since I was in 8th grade but I think I'd like something a little more grown up this year. Although it's a little pricey, I'm especially liking this one by Snow and Graham. It's just so pretty.
Before: A $3 navy blue polka dot polyester dress, complete with shoulder pads.
Right before Christmas I took some fun pictures using a few new tutus I bought on e-bay. I was pleased with the way they turned out since I just shot them in my dining room with no special lighting or anything. Having an extremely cute niece as a model might have had something to do with it though! The one above is my absolute favorite but if you want to check out a few more click here.
