The heater

My long time favorite breakfast invention. I call it the "heater". A jalepeno bagel with a scrambled egg (hubby does fried), pepper jack cheese and a sausage patty (hubby always has meat, I usually have tomato slices instead but splurged this mornng). SO good. Hot 'n spicy and crispy and cheesy and yummy. It's how I started my day today and just seeing this picture makes my mouth water. I only have it once a week because obviously it can't be too good for me, but man is it good.

Look Book Challenge 1

Having fun, feeling motivated, with challenges and dares lately. The new Look Book blog issued their first challenge: Use what you love. What a pleasure! Never really occured to me that this could make a difference (make it easier), but this layout came together probably faster than any other I've ever done. I literally gathered stuff I liked and set it on my desk. When I looked down things were laying in such a way that that WAS my page. All I did was slide cardstock underneath the pile and start adhering. What makes this true to my "style"? I love stars, mixing color and b & w pics, mixing large and small pics, leaving pics matted with a little white blank photo paper, using frames, rubber stamps, the color red, the color black as a grounding element, ribbon tabs sticking out, oversize photo corners, fortune cookie fortunes, some hand-doodling, the use of scraps and found stuff and lined/striped paper. Most any layout you'll ever see from me will have at least a few of these traits.

Fun challenge Look Book girls!

Dare 56

I love the Dares, but rarely do them. Don't know why, time maybe? But they are always good, always enlightening and that is always good. Going to make much more of an effort to play along on the Dares.

This is Dare 56: If you are told you will be stuck on a deserted island and you can only take one picture, which would it be? Why?

This is a sad statement for a photog, but this is the last (and only 1 of 3!) photo of my whole family together. And I took it in 2005. How sad is that? But now, that's my new goal: more pics of us.

Indy after school

LOVE this photo. Love when you put your card in the reader and see a gem that stops your heart sitting amid a sea of everyday shots. This is Indy, just relaxing in the back seat while we waited for Carsey to get out of school. Yes, it's blurry, but it so her. Relaxed, happy. Love this girl so much it takes my breath away.

Photo Friday: Fast

A friend's son earlier this fall. He wants to "pway socco tooo." He's got the speed down, that's for sure.

For Photo Friday: Fast

I am no. 228.
