Hot-sun yellows


"Once upon a time..."


Wearing something brilliant and watching

To my love: Happy Valentine's Day

I don't pretend to know what love is for everyone, but I can tell you what it is for me; love is knowing all about someone, and still wanting to be with them more than any other person, love is trusting them enough to tell them everything about yourself, including the things you might be ashamed of, love is feeling comfortable and safe with someone, but still getting weak knees when they walk into a room and smile at you.”

I love you honey....Will you be my Valentine?

Monday, here we go again.

Mondays are hard for me to get in to. I am sure plenty of people know what I am talking about when I say Mondays are ruff. So in light of the start of this new week, I am going to try and be positive about Mondays. Actually I bought this book from the Goodwill titled "14,000 Things to be Happy About." I thought the title was cute, and when I looked through the pages I saw that the entire book was just one long list of random things to be happy about. So, I have decided that in order to stay on my positive Monday kick I will flip though my "Happy" book and give you all a few random nuggets to think about. So here goes...

Things to be happy about today:

Not waiting too long

Cool rainy weekends for lots of reading

White T-shirts

Pineapple slices wrapped in bacon and broiled, a warm croissant, hot chocolate with marshmallows, and orange juice.

See, totally random.




Happy Monday!

Love,

Ok so my famous video is finally up on the library's site. I have watched it and given it clearance for others to watch as well. At first I wasn't sure if I liked it, but after watching it for the gazillionth time I like. I really, really like it. So without further adieu....enjoy...

Mom! Look I'm on T.V.!!

A couple of posts ago, I told you guys that I was having my art on display at our local library. Of course that is still going down, however, in addition to that the library decided to make me their featured artist for February. And in doing so they shot a video of me speaking about my artwork. The video is going to be on the library's website, it is called "Off the Wall". It is also going to be on the the library channel with our local cable company (which of whom, ironically, I do not have my cable with). I think it's channel 17 or 11 with Comcast.
Man, when they asked me to do the video I was so excited and yet nervous at the same time. As ya'll already know, I don't like being in front of the camera lens. And then when I figured out I would not only have to be in front of the lens, I was going to have to talk too?!? Man. Fagetaboutit!!! I almost canceled. Almost. Yeah right!!!! Are you kidding? This was too good to pass up. I had to do it. So today I did it. The library crew came over, with all their gear, miked me up, and the interview began. I had so much fun with Sharon, trying to answer her questions in the coolest way possible. I just hope I don't sound too much like a dork. We shall see. I will let you guys know when the video gets posted so you can check me out....of course that would have to be after I've looked at it and given it my seal of approval. Let's just pray that everything turns out well.

And beause I can't leave you with out a pic, and I haven't really showed you guys what is in the show I will post a couple up now so you can get a slight preview....

Tight, right?!? I think they look yummy. Enjoy.

Much love...

Happy New Year everyone!!! I've decided to start this new year off with awesome photos of my awesome sister and my awesome niece. (I know, too much use of awesome. But hey, enjoy this awesome post and have a totally awesome day!.... Ha! Had to thow those in there) Anywhoo....

Natalie is the bomb older sister. To this day, I can talk to her about anything, she keeps it 100 with me and I definitely keep it 100 with her. (I am not sure if you know this Tyler, but your mom is so cool.) I don't call her as much as I should, but I know she is always just a phones reach away when ever I need her. When we went to California last November for Thanksgiving I asked Nat and Tyler if they would mind if I took their pictures while I worked on building my portfolio. They were so excited that I had asked, and couldn't wait to be my models for the day. We had so much fun together, these two were just perfect for what I was trying to do. Not only did I come away with some beautiful pictures, but I also got some much needed QT with my older sis and niece.

My fav of the day...

This is how the day really went...

Man, you guys know what you do to me. I love you so much, you make my heart sing. I simply cannot wait until me and the fam are closer, so we can make our bond that much stronger. Because honestly Nat, my kids need to know what an awesome Aunty they have in you.

Love you....
