#photoadayjune week 2

well, here it is. week 2 of the #photoadayjune challenge. you can find my photos daily on twitter and instagram and i’ll be posting weekly recaps here on the blog.

i have to say, i honestly wasn’t loving the challenge this week. i’m not 100% sure if it was the prompts or just my frame of mind – but i just couldn’t get into it. most of them didn’t actually find their way to my twitter or instagram. apologies.

(i’m always torn as to whether or not this challenge should be used as a way to document my life or as ‘artsy’/ normally wouldn’t take them shots. currently, it’s a mix of both.)

oh well. for better or for worse, here’s week 2. enjoy!

day five: sign; this is a truck we found for sale (obviously) a while back. i loved the truck, the sign was borderline hideous.

day six: hat; (confession – this pic is OLD. she’s not nearly so little now but still just as cute). she loved her hello kitty hat.

day seven: drink; my daily dose of diet coke. fun fat: when i put this on instagram, the official diet coke page “liked” it. cool!

day eight: 6 o’clock; back in the studio, trimming pots.

day nine: your view today; it was a lazy lazy day and after casey left for work, i sat on the bed and played in my craft paper supply for hours. exciting, huh?

day ten: the best bit of my weekend; do you have to ask? it’s always spending time with casey. (i’ve recently dubbed him boo-boo and i have no idea why. i’m not sure if he appreciates it, but he’s adjusting. so if you hear me refer to ‘boo-boo’ here, it’s not a hot new man – just the same hot man i married :)

day eleven: door; possibly the least creative photo i’ve ever taken.

what do you think? is there something you would have done differently with the prompts?

thanks for following my #photoaday posts here on my little blog! i love reading the sweet comments you leave and i hope that some of you will join me in the challenge!

hugs.

#photoadaymay wrap-up and kicking off #photoadayjune

the great news today is that it’s time to kick off #photoadayjune! I’ll be participating on  twitter and instagram, with weekly updates here and on pinterest.

already, june is off to a much better start than may. i’m proud to announce that i’ve stayed on track this week and actually posted a photo a day, as was intended. :) hooray.

here are the last few may shots and the june ones to date. enjoy!

day twenty-nine: number; sort of a number, sort of not. and really, sort of gross. this is casey’s new drink of choice – i’ll stick with diet, thank you very much.

day thirty: my personality; a little silly. this is how i amuse myself in the car when C is driving.

day thirty-one: beautiful; i love this quote – wise words.

june, day one: these are the flowers i received at work for helping with a project i was working on. click here to see what i did with them.

day two: empty. more on this later :)

day three: on my plate – roasted squash, potatoes, broccoli, onions, and mushrooms. holy yum!

day four: close-up; a cameo given to me by my grandmother. i wear it almost every day and a really love this photo of it. it may be a framer, what do you think?

in case you missed it, here’s the list for june! check back each week for my photos, the list looks like a lot of fun!

#photoadaymay week 4

here is week four of the #photoadaymay series. you can find my photos daily on twitter and instagram and i’ll be posting weekly recaps here on the blog.

i’m still loving this challenge. i can’t wait until i’ve acquired enough photos to make a poster/book/whatever. this week, fat mum slim released the june list – i think the lists are getting better every month!

below are my photos for the fourth week of may. enjoy!

 

day 23: pink; the blanket my sister made me for christmas a few years back. great for curling up on the couch and crashing until casey makes it home.

day 23: technology; this is my set-up at work. two screens=more production, right? riiiighhhht …

day 24: something new; this is my new summer purse, purchased on my shopping spree last week. it’s cute. it’s tiny. it was a steal at $16 bucks. thank you, Ross!

day 25: unusual; i had to downsize my keyring to fit in the new tiny purse. it’s unusual for me to have more keys than keyrings. :)

day 26: 12 o’clock; it’s tyson’s naptime. heck, he naps all the time. but i always seem to catch him midday, paws up, and smiling.

day 27: something sweet; my adorable niece, kinsley. as long as she stays tiny and cute, i can procrastinate bringing more kids into casey’s family. :)

day 28: the weather today; the weather all weekend was beautiful but HOT. big white puffy clouds didn’t provide much relief from the heat, but they sure were pretty.

 

thanks for following my #photoaday posts here on my little blog! i love reading the sweet comments you leave and i hope that some of you will join me in the challenge!

#photoadaymay week 3

here is week three of the #photoadaymay series. you can find my photos daily on twitter and instagram and i’ll be posting weekly recaps here on the blog.

for some reason, it’s getting a little harder to keep up these days. the weekends, mostly – which is strange because i take the most photos on the weekends. this week was a little better than last, but i must find more enthusiasm!

below are my photos for the third week of may. enjoy!

day 15: love; these three boys are the loves of my life. they bring me so much happiness, just looking at their precious faces. and the best part is, they love me too! :)

day 16: what you’re reading; i’m sure i won’t be the first to say that i think tina fey is amazing. this quote from her about body image is pretty spot on, right?

day 17: snack; actually, this banana ending up serving as lunch too. a total bad idea, i know, but it was a busy week.

day 18: something you made; a mid-session photo of the weekend’s studio labors. the odd looking one became a little gourd bird house. and only a few of those lids made the cut.

day 19: a favorite place; i’m sure you got my drift yesterday when i told you how much i LOVED being in the studio again. it’s a great place to relieve some stress. especially since i’ve been slacking on my running :)

day 20: something you can’t live without; i never realized that it would be possible to love someone with my whole heart. God certainly knew what he was doing when he blessed me with this man – he even puts up with my crazy! :)

day 21: where i stand; you know – i really wanted to do a different play on this – where i stand beliefs-wise instead of just looking down. but a whole day spent with the sweet man in the photo above changed my mind.

 

thanks for following my #photoaday posts here on my little blog! i love reading the sweet comments you leave and i hope that some of you will join me in the challenge!

#photoadaymay week two

here is week two of the #photoadaymay series. you can find my photos daily on twitter and instagram and i’ll be posting weekly recaps here on the blog. i’m still enjoying this challenge, although this week i will admit i slacked off for a few days and then had to play catch up. :)

below are my photos for the second week of may. enjoy!

day 8: a smell you adore; chocolate chip cookies, fresh from the oven. obviously, i adored the taste as well. yum!

day 9: something you do everyday; love this sweet sweet man. i’m so very blessed to have him to love and take care of me.

day 10: a favorite word; fun. this is one of the days i fell behind on – i actually have lots of words i like but fun seemed appropriate since that’s what i was having when i missed the day!

day 11: kitchen; another day i missed, not that i would show you my messy little rental kitchen anyhow :) this is a set of pottery i would LOVE to have/make for my own one day.

day 12: something that makes you happy; what’s not happy about a giant inflateable duck?! well, actually … spending time with my wonderful parents. the only thing missing this day was casey.

day 13: mum/mom; this is my mom. she’s my biggest fan and one of my best friends. she would also kill me if she knew i was posting photos of her, but she’ll get over it :)

day 14: grass; also, i realized that i post 1 billion photos of tyson on instagram/facebook/twitter – so here’s one of my sweet little harley. he looks like he’s on a very important mission here, right?

thanks for following my #photoaday posts here on my little blog! i love reading the sweet comments you leave and i hope that some of you will join me in the challenge!

#photoadaymay week one

here is week one of my first full month of the #photoaday series. you can find my photos daily on twitter and instagram and i’ll be posting weekly recaps here on the blog. i’m really enjoying this challenge and seriously considering turning all of my photos into some sort of book at the end of the year. so far i’ve been fairly successful at keeping up. i’ve only fell behind once, this weekend, when things were tough. below are my photos for the first week of may. enjoy!

day 1: peace; this is the drive home to my parent’s house. i have driven this route so many times i could do it with my eyes closed. being on this road always means home to me, and that brings me peace.

day 2: skyline; i love the way the clouds look here, too bad that pesky powerpole is intruding.

day 3: something you wore; this was my birthday outfit, complete with the little “it’s my birthday” ribbon i was given at work. yes, i wore it all day. :)

day 4: fun; VIP ticket to the crawfish boil from my wonderful friend alyssa and an antique crown royal flask from one of our favorite trinket shops.

day 5: bird; hm, perhaps a little morbid – but there was chicken in my cinco de mayo creation. real birds don’t come in my yard because of the little monsters. (btw, this was totally yummy – maybe i’ll post a recipe later!)

day 6: you; this is me at my mom’s about to blow out the candles (two days late) and sweet casey is being a little creepy.

day 7: someone who inspires you; my daddy. he’s getting ear licks from tyson here. i wanted to include my mom as well, but she’s not too keen on having her photo taken. :)

Sweet Shot Day

by the way … the giant birthday post is still coming. i was going to write it this weekend, but, ya know…

#photoadayapril wrap-up and kicking off #photoadaymay

i’m sure most of you have noticed that i jumped on the bandwagon of the #photoadayapril challenge midway through. the great news today is that it’s time to kick off #photoadaymay! you can find a recap of the rules here. I’ll be participating on  twitter and instagram, with weekly updates here and on pinterest.

before i begin may though, here are the rest of my april shots. enjoy!

day 25: looking down; i love these boots :)

day 26: black and white; night driving, i really hate those pesky little speed traps on the back roads leading to the beach.

day 27: somewhere you went; my first daylight view of the beach in almost two years. beyond excited.

day 28: 1pm; sunnin' my buns, time to flip. i wish my legs really looked as dark as the insagram filter made them look. :|

day 29: circle; an old wagon wheel, not very creative i know - but i wasn't in top form after 2.5 hours of sleep. :)

day 30: something that makes you sad; my to-do list on such a beautiful day - i just want to go outside and play!

and here’s the list for may! check back soon for may photos, the list looks great!

#photoadayapril update

so far, i’ve been sticking with the #photoadayapril challenge pretty faithfully. you can find my photos daily on twitter and instagram. it’s pretty hard to get them onto the blog every single day though. one of my goals when i started this blog was not to let it become an obsession. so instead of struggling to get the photos up every day, i’ve decided to do a weekly recap here with a bit more detailed descriptions about the photos. enjoy!

day 19: orange; this handmade bowl from the bahamas was gifted to me by a co-worker for helping with a trip she was coordinating.

day 20: something you drew; just a little doodle of something i have to remind myself of often. let it go, relax, enjoy life.

day 21: bottle; a bottle of red wine with a Brownell Travel 125th anniversary label designed by yours truly.

day 22: the last thing you bought; "the tanker", a 44 oz diet coke to supply my caffeine needs for a 1.5 hour car ride and 3 hour birthday party loaded with screaming children. :)

day 23: fruit; C's fruit loops are having to fill the fruit requirement for the day, reminding me that i'm in desperate need of groceries.

day 24: something you're grateful for; waking up to this sweet face every morning (even if it's sometimes a grumpy face).

 Sweet Shot Day

#photoadayapril

i found this great challenge over at fat mum slim.

 i’m going for it. who cares if April’s halfway over? she puts out these fabulous challenges every month.

here are the details for sharing, via her blog:

INSTAGRAM: Upload your photo to Instagram, add a sweet filter and put #photoadayApril in the caption so others can see your photos {share to Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, Flickr etc from Instagram if you like}

TWITTER: Upload your photo to Instagram, add some words to describe it and use the hashtag #photoadayApril so others can see your photos

FACEBOOK: Create an album titled something like, Photo a Day April, and make the album public, then upload your photos.
