A mini Pregnancy shoot!

These are of one of my besties, her first, and probably only, pregnancy.  She is 25 weeks along and loving every minute.  And giddy me, I get to take her photos the whole time.  This was a quick two minute impromptu shoot yesterday.  Good thing I brought Mr. Big!

and in other news, I have been working like crazy in my kitchen/studio.  I have so much going on, and new series, on lots of recycled goods.  Stay tuned... I will probably be blogging all week!!! Good Evening and Night, I. Am. Pooped!

Hello You!

I have been in tired mode this week.  So much to do, so little sleep (boo), job hunting (double boo!)

Today I think it all hit me.  My mom picked up P to go to the zoo, and for a needed change, I was going to have a couple hours to myself.  I guess my body had other ideas.  I laid down and slept for over four hours!  No gym, no art, no cleaning...just sleep.  Now, you may be happy I was able to do this, but I really had plans.  Finishing painting the hall, a run, and some art!  Alone time that I was looking forward to allllll week.  Alas, I slept, and I do feel better.  Now another rock in our road was my husbands work truck broke this week, and it is like a long fix, ordering special parts blah and stuff, and hubs has been leaving me stranded, you know...so he can work!  Not having my car, and using one car has been bummer soy sausage!  Happy Happy because tomorrow is Friday, and I am just not going to care about my lack of exercise this week, or the fact that I probably ate too much pasta, and back to life I go... after hopefully getting my fingers very dirty this weekend!

oh, just one more work in progress I am happy with...

This is my new fab scrap page.  I have to add my main shot, and my title and a tad more journaling, but I am loving this page.  Layers of me since P was born is basically where I am going with it...

Happy weekend. I hope you all get messy, or stay tidy, whichever!!!

A photo for a sunny day!

Happy Spring day.

a work in progress, on this friday!

I have a WIP to share today.  This board, similar to my Dream Board, is slow going.  I have taken some Instagrams to share, as it is not complete.    ...

ok, maybe I should have stopped at this simple colorful board...but I just don't do that...

And this is where it's at...

at the same time, I am working on this board...

and last weekend, I worked on her...

her full post can be found here...

And it is fabulous Paint Party Friday, and an anniversary party!   You should totally join in! Woot!

A LOT of fotos to share with you! (not instagram!!!)

So, I am going through a bunch of recent shots I have taken of my gaggle, and I pulled a few...ok a lot more than a few,  to share here.  These were all taken since January of this year.  I really need to catch up on my editing and getting pictures to the right family type people!  I am so lagging...  you know, because I am painting!

I am pretty happy with my first months on manual, but I will be the first to admit, I don't whip out Mr. Big anymore.  That iphone and instagram have made me lazy, and I like it!

With spring so near, I am certain Mr. Big and I will become good friends again!  (Mr. Big is my Nikon! btw!!!)

and because I just cannot help myself...

another Hey Girl for you!

Lovey Girl

This started out as a LifeBook page from Mystele's lesson.  I hated what I made.  It just wasn't me!  So, I randomly threw a bunch of different colored paints on top and smeared it all around with an envelope.  (This envelope is looking pretty cool btw!)  I could see a little outline underneath and I just did my own thing from that point.  Funny enough, this heart shape was seriously in the eye so I went with that too.  This little girl has a serious crush, can't you tell?  I love her.  The heart in her nose was also a shape the sequin waste and old paint has made, so I stayed with the little heart theme.

I am so ok with not liking what I made for this lesson.  I am fine with covering it up.  It just wasn't me.  I am not going to redo the lesson, but just move on.

Happy Monday to you.  See you soon!!!

Weekend Instagram Post

 I bought these gloves, with a scarf from Janelle!, and I never get to wear them bc Maddy steals them all the time!  But today, I was quick!!!  If you look close, it does say I need an oil change!  I drive an Explorer, if you're curious.

 The Mr. does baby pushups! Hot, huh?

Paige was in this shot, at Sunflower, and she moved at the last sec, so it's just me with wind blown bangs!

I never ever just sit on the couch. Oh my freaking goodness I was so sore.  I think I pushed myself pretty hard this week.  I couldn't stand and I did not do dishes! This shot wigs my friend out as it is backwards and gives her a headache!

ha!

 So, I was trying to catch my make-up awesomeness for my blog buddy Sherilin ...we are women who love our eyeliner!  hehe...  then I text my dear Kristin to make sure I did a good job!  Silly me!

 I got happy mail.

 On Fridays, I take her to a mommy and me pre preschool!  Cuteness...

and then sometimes, we eat lunch with Papa at Chipotle and have tickle wars!

I just finished my painting for Mystel's LifeBook page.  That was interesting, and hard.  I ended up pulling lightly, and making a cute little girl in-love face...

and I will share that when I take some fotos yo!

Have a good weekend!
