I was having a particularly bad day yesterday (if you didn’t notice by my post). I was definitely out of patience with so many things in my life. I went to bed very sad and discouraged. I slept poorly – which almost never happens to me. This morning, the first thing I saw when I [...]

Remember last year when my sister Lena and my friend Shannon helped me paint my kitchen cabinets? Every since then, I’ve been thinking of making some little curtains to just add a pop of color to the windows. After spending an extra few days at home sick this week, I was able to get caught [...]

I have finally finished editing the photos from my niece’s wedding! Sheesh, what a job that has been. I guess if I knew what I was doing, it would have been much simpler huh? I have so many “favorites”…. Here’s one: Such a neat perspective! More later,
