1,000 Word Fridays: Week 4 | Personal

I know, I know. I didn't get this posted yesterday. Well, there's a reason...a long busy day, and a bright shiny object pictured below that took 3 hours to get fully set up...so by the time I was actually able to get pictures posted it was nearly midnight!

So here you go, Week 4 of 1,000 Word Fridays!

Watching my favorite movie ever, The Glenn Miller Story (the scene in the picture is my favorite - the band playing "Pennsylvania 6-5000" for Glenn and Helen on their 10th anniversary)...
I may or may not have had coffee AND a chocolate chip cookie AND a brownie one afternoon...
Weeds can be pretty sometimes!...
The flag flying in the breeze...
Cardinals absolutely crack me up...
It's the last weekend for the horse show, so we went out there yesterday morning...
I made my great-grandmother's biscuits so we could have them with sausage for breakfast the next morning...
And yes, Daddy and I went halves on a very nice birthday present. :-)










































By the way, I got a new *free* watermark software since my other one wouldn't work for some reason - it's called Jet Photo Studio and you can get it here: http://www.jetphotosoft.com/web/home/  It's very user-friendly and works really well!

I had the great blessing of taking pictures for a certain bride-to-be on Tuesday...and the wedding is on the 24th...so be on the lookout for a post within a couple days after that! I can hardly wait to show the pictures to you - Sarah is a beautiful bride!

My Favorite Things Project: Finished!!

I can't believe I'm writing this...I actually, really and truly finished My Favorite Things Project aaaaand got the pictures up on my bedroom wall yesterday!!!

So, instead of doing another couple separate posts for the last few pictures, here they are:




First off- sisters! I've mentioned Sarah several times here on the blog, and those of you who know us in person know just how close we are. We're identical twins (mirror-image, actually - just ask us about who's left-brain dominant and who's right-brain dominant!) and we're inseparable. So of course I knew I wanted to include my dear sister in my project!!



These sweet munchkins in the above photo are Callie, an almost-12-year-old Pembroke Welsh Corgi, and Luke, an almost-11-year-old Lab/Shepherd/whoknowswhatelse mix. They are both precious and we love them to death. :-)



One of the other things I listed on my original "list" was "wide open spaces". I love being out in the quiet, peaceful country. Every October our family gathers with dozens of others for a weekend of fun and fellowship in the central part of the state, and I love this big field and hills. I've got lots of sweet memories from this place. So I was glad I was able to include this picture! (Notice the little cowboy boots? :-))

Okay- on to the finished project!!




Here's a "Before" shot - a blank wall that needed something else....



Putting the pictures in the frames and trying to get an idea of the layout...



And they're up! Hooray!





Left to right, top to bottom:
Boots - Dama's hands - Family - Camera - Candle - Sweet Tea
Laughing - Sunset - Sisters - Favorite Bible verse - Guitar
Apple pie - Playing the piano - Azaleas - Chocolate chip cookies - Red rose - Books - Wide open spaces - Sewing - The Dogs - Music

I had so much fun doing this project (even though it took me so long to finish it) and it's a great thing to do to make a room more personal. It's also a great way to learn more photography skills!

1,000 Word Fridays: Week 3 | Personal

Another week has come and gone! This one sure flew by...and it was wonderful!

Spring has sprung and of course that means lots of pictures of all the beautiful things in bloom...
I had fun playing around with the late-afternoon sun...
Daddy and Sarah came home on Wednesday after 5 weeks of taking care of our grandparents/helping them move into an assisted living--happy happy day!
The dogs were glad to see them, too...
(In case you're wondering, they towed my grandfather's car since he doesn't need it anymore; my grandmother still has hers)...
Daddy discovered that the Daisy pellet gun his dad had when he was little is somewhere around 97 years old...
It rained this morning and the water droplets on the dogwood blooms were so pretty...

Enjoy!




(do you see the bees??)

























That wraps things up for this week! Hope yours was as wonderful as mine!


Because of Jesus,

PS--guess what?!? I actually FINISHED my Favorite Things Project and ordered the prints! Can you believe it?!? I'll post the rest in the next few days. :-)
