30 Days of Creativity – Day 1
June 2, 2011
Bit of a whirlwind day yesterday – I had way less time than I hoped to create something. Packing for several days away with two little boys surely counts as doing something creative, right? I did take 15 minutes and drew a little picture. I wasn’t terribly impressed with it as my first creative endeavour of … More 30 Days of Creativity – Day 1

Last night we had a Blackett Creative Night. I try to do this once a week, it doesn’t always happen, but I don’t beat myself up if it doesn’t. When it does, it’s really good.

I saw this photo on Pinterest. I saw it about a week ago & I just haven’t been able to get it out of my head. It’s true. I really do have everything I need. And yet, I seem to have this compulsion to get more & more. I use shopping as therapy – I … More I Have Everything I Need

Challenge #1 Cross Processing
April 3, 2011
Ever since I saw my brother-in-law & his wife’s wedding photos, I’ve loved the look of cross processing. At the time, I had no idea what it was called & I tried to recreate the look myself with Photoshop as well as scouring the interweb for tutorials. I eventually stumbled across the actually name for … More Challenge #1 Cross Processing
On Being a Hobbiest Photographer
March 31, 2011
I came across this blog post on the MCP Actions site. It rang true for me. As a stay at home mom, I’m interested in ways to make some extra money. I love photography so maybe I should study up & become a professional. I almost felt guilty for not really wanting to do that. … More On Being a Hobbiest Photographer
