"Tunes" in 3 new colors!

So, I have finally gotten around to offering "Tunes" in a few new colors. BUT, It is still possible to have me customize the 2 colors for you. But, I know there are alot of people out there, that do want to take the time to send me a conversation asking me to customize a piece (I really dont bite I promise! :) So, I am going to try and get around to eventually offering it in the store showing several different colors. I know that nobody likes to decorate exactly like the Robinson's next door! :)

So, anyhow... new colors (in addition to these) will be arriving sometime... hopefully soon. :D

Thanks so much for all the positive feedback on the christmas postcards. It really makes me happy! :) I am going to try and list them in several different quantities to allow each person to get just the right amount they need. I am debating on offering envelopes with them? I Would love any feedback on this though... Maybe I could offer some with, and some without?

{btw- Jenna, this is not the post I was referring to... that one is going to take me some time to prepare!}

Christmas Postcards- update!

Well, I promied a sneek peek on the christmas cards, and here it is. This is the first design. I think I will test the waters and see how well they do. Next year I will be more prepared, and have a few other designs ready a little earlier.

I am in the process of ordering them right now. They will be glossy, and super thick! I *hope* to have them listed super late next week. :) I guess we will see how fast their travel time is.

I loved this print so much, I wanted to make it a little less seasonal... so "Longing" was born. :) I hope you all like it. I am adding it to my etsy store right now, in a few mins. you should be able to click the picture or here for a direct link!

We had freezing temperatures in the night, and because of it our leaves are dropping like crazy! You can't even see our grass. As soon as Jaydon comes home, we will be taking Trin out to play in the leaves. It is so beautiful outside, everything is covered in a golden blanket, and the sun has such a warmth!

Seeds Of Freedom

I finally made time to finish a new piece! :) It feels so nice to finally complete an idea I have had in my mind for weeks. It always gives me the warm fuzzies when I sell it for the first time...It is so rewarding. One of the many reasons why I enjoy creating new pieces.

Listed in my etsy store, and you can find it here.

Christmas update: I am working on a few illustrations to be used as christmas postcards! I hope to introduce them into the store by November. I suppose that depends on how soon I get them done! I cant believe October is almost over! The drawings are inked and ready to be transferred to the computer, and I will be sure and give you a sneek peek just as soon as I get one worth showing. :)

Fall favorites

I normally dread winter, and am a spring/summer person ALL the way. This year, though I am really enjoying fall, and even looking forward (just a little) to winter. :) Its no wonder, with each new fall season I have had an extra little blessing in my life! Getting married to the man of my dreams and moving into our first home together, a year later the birth of our little girl, 2 years after that the purchase/move to our current home, and this fall the sale of our first home together.

Fall is so gorgeous in our new neighborhood. Our streets are lined with the most beautiful, biggest trees imaginable! Trin and I made halloween sugar cookies a few days ago. This is the first year she has really been able to get excited about the holidays. She really enjoys recognizing a pumpkin when she sees one! :)

I also found these super cute window clings at target. I think I paid 2.50 for them. I have really great memories of my mother using halloween window decorations. There was a witch, pumpkin, and a ghost. They had that black fuzzy stuff mixed in with color. I would love to find a modern day variation of these decorations! But, until then these window clings will have to suffice. Trin does seem to enjoy them anyhow!

Our 4 Year anniversary!

Yesterday was our 4 year anniversary. It seems so hard to believe it has already been 4 years. We stayed in and celebrated with Trin. Trin is spending tonight with grandpa and grandpa... so we will get to go out and have no curfew! :)

Here is our story: We met in Grand junction Colorado at a mutual friends BBQ. Since I had to fly back to Washington two days after meeting him, we talked on the phone ALOT... he flew out 2 weeks later and spent a week here in Washington. He asked me to marry him on July 3rd. Just three short weeks after meeting each other.

We had a 3 month long engagement, and tied the knot on October 18th 2003. :)
We both felt that if we knew we were meant for each other why wait? Its been great! We have our differences, but are perfect for each other. He balances me out, and I him. :)
...I just hope my daughter doesn't do this to me! :)

"Romeo and Juliet"

"Love was never promised to be easy." So true as in Romeo and Juliet's case. These two have similar issues... lets just say family reunions dont go over so well. However, these two pull through the hard times and are still together to enjoy the good times.

I think this print is a reminder, that every relationship will endure they're storms... but that the calm after the storm is so much worth sticking it out together! :)

Well, I had SUCH a hard time trying to decide which variation of this print to list on etsy. SO, I finally decided to offer all three. :) Now, the choice is up to you! I hope you enjoy them all!

Well, today it has been windy and rainy! We rarely get rain, so when we do... I generally do enjoy it. So long as it doesnt last longer then 2 days. :) Our front yard is COVERED in leaves! It is amazing what a little wind can do for one's yard. Between the yucky black walnuts, and the leaves.... Jaydon has been busy! I really should help him a little. Maybe today Trin and I will go outside and rake some of them up for him. Well, it is the thought that counts right? And I mean I did *think* of doing it. I am sure he will appreciate that just the same! ;)

Holiday Gift Tags making their debut:

I finally am able to check this off my list of things to do. I have been itching to design my own gift tags this year. Well, I finally did it. :) Every year I always end up using a green very similar to the above present. What is it about the green that I love so much? I have no idea! I just realized I even painted my kitched a very similar green. Hmm, it may be time for me to broaded my horizons... step out on a limb. ;) I am excited to get started on a few new designs, but so far I am really liking how these turned out. You can see them here on etsy.

..................... D E S C R I P T I O N .............................

Let these little gems help put the icing on the cake to that perfect gift you bought! These will look simply classy under your christmas tree. Adorn those extra special gifts with an extra special label.

Size: 3.5x2"

Paper: 80# white textured linen

* These are not sticky, you will need to secure them to your packages with tape. Or, hole punch and attach with a ribbon or twine.

............................................................................................

Well, I am SURE I have something "important" I should be doing! :) So, I will leave you with this short post! Have a great thursday everyone!

New Art!

Ok... so I have been busy! It seems like when I have one idea, at least two will follow suit! I suppose it only makes sense that when I am "inspirationly" lacking I am REALLY lacking. :) It is all a reminder to me that when it truly does rain, it pours. :)

So, here are a few of my new etsy additions.

"Love is magical" (above) Was created with much love. It brought back so many memories as a child. My days were spent daydreaming about unicorns, and putting holes in the knees of my pants. Trying to get the perfect horse gallop "just right". *sigh* yes, life is so much simpler when your a kid. This print will forever remind me of those days, and bring a little more simplicity to my life. :)

"Home Sweet Home" Is the second in a new series titled "Sitting Pretty" featuring furniture; everything from comfy, firm, modern, to retro, tradional. With my favorite feathered friends almost always making an appearance in each piece.

"Make Yourself Comfortable" is another addition to the "Sitting Pretty" series. In addition to the two seen here, I have two more in the works. Look for them to pop up in the next couple of weeks! :) The original to one is already listed in my etsy store. The original to "make yourself comfortable" should be up within the week. :)

Totally in love:

I came across this etsy store a few weeks ago. "One Up Wall graphics" has a very professional feel/look to their etsy store, and I was immediately impressed. Now, had I have had a little extra spending money... I would already have at least 4 of their designs gracing my living room walls. *sigh* Oh well, I suppose good things come to those who wait. We are STILL waiting for the sale of our trailer to close, once it does... you can bet I will be filling my online shopping cart!

I have mortar walls throughout most of my home, so I was super excited to see that they will send a free sample for you to try on your walls. I am most certainly going to take them up on that offer! I contacted them about featuring them on my blog, and they were very polite and speedy to reply. :) So, if your looking for a completey unique and stylish way to dress up your home, look no further this store has it!

Buy 1 Get 1 Free sale is a success! :)

Thanks to all those who took part in the buy 1 get 1 free sale. Unfortunately, I had been preparing a portfolio to take into my local gallery... and have used up quite a bit of my paper. :) I am waiting on a new shipment to arrive. But, because my supply is SO limited... I am going to have to end the buy 1 get 1 free sale, just a little earlier then I had planned.

Well, I wanted to give everyone that update! Esepecially since I *just* finally got around to posting about the sale yesterday. :) Hope everyone has a great tuesday!

Where have I been?

Wheeew.... almost a whole week away from my blog! I must admit, life has been a little busy... but I HAVE had time to update. I suppose I have just chosen to spend my time doing other things. There has been a few things happen in my life these past couple of weeks, that has reminded me just how short life really is. It has caused me to examine just how much time I have been spending doing my "fun things" here on my computer... just a little more then I would like.

So, I have been enjoying taking a little bit of a vacation from blog land. I think I may spend a little less time keeping everyone updated on my family, and a little more time with my family. :) So, rather then trying to post every other day... I may go just a tad bit longer. Of course, this will be a struggle for me... because I do enjoy blogging. I have just come to appreciate those precious minutes with my family a little more.

Well, we had Shaela's shower this weekend. It was really great. A few friends came in from out of town for it. I was even fortunate enough to have a friend spend Friday night with us. We stayed up a little after midnight visiting, and getting caught up on each others lives. :) Having most of your friends live hours away is rough at times!

ALso- I applied a few weeks back to get my work accepted on http://www.trunkt.org/ and good news! I was accepted!! :) I was so thrilled, because trunkt is very specific on their style and they strive to feature the portfolios of the best artists rather then the most artists. :) You can view my portfolio here: http://www.trunkt.org/SparksFly

So, I suppose that is about the extent of the news...

OH- I am also offering a BUY 1 GET 1 FREE SALE. :) Yep, not sure how long I will keep it going... so if you are considering purchasing a print, now is a great time! :) http://www.sparksfly.etsy.com/

I also JUST added this new print to the store this morning. :) It is titled "Roses Among Us" I hope you all enjoy it!

-jess

finally... a new addition!

Ok, so I must admit... I have hit an inspiration drought. It seems like the past week I have really enjoyed my time away from the computer. I have started 6 different pieces of work... and cant seem to get them just the way I like them.

Well, this print "te amo" (which means i love you in spanish) is finally just the way I like it. I have done a few different color variations, but I think I like this one the best. :) For those wondering, there is an actual El Caporal. And let me tell you, they make the best mexican food! If you have one in your area I urge you to try the colorado burrito. It is so good. :)

Well, with that... I need to leave you with a very short post... and get started on dinner for my family! Although, I would much rather pick me up a burrito!

Harvesting Tomatoes...

I grew a ton of tomatoes hoping to make salsa. Well, today mom came over and we picked all of the ripe ones. I had no idea I had so many! It was a pleasant surprise though. The top right picture is Roma tomatoes, and those all came from the same plant. I have not hardly done anything to these at all. I am most definitly giving the credit to the peat moss I mixed in with the soil. I also did raised beds, and I hear that really helps the plants. :)

Next week we plan to make the salsa. If you have a great recipe, I would love a link! I have one I have been planning to try, but I am most certainly still open for suggestions. :)

"smooooch"

Here is my newest addition to my etsy store. The doll was made by projectgrabbag, and is part of our collaboration together. She made me 2 dolls, 2 pirates, and 2 mushrooms to photograph, draw etc... This is Keiko, the other one you have seen in my art is named Emma. :)

I am getting to keep one of the dolls, and we werent sure which one it was going to be... but I think Trin decided for us. She has gotten attached to her first doll ever... and it is this one. Keiko. :) She has been changing her diaper, and begging to take her shopping with us. :) I finally caved, and let her take her to Home Depot. She got to be buckled in, so I figured she was safe. :)

I printed and hung this print on her wall, it looks so good against her pink walls. I definitly plan to do a matching companion print using Keiko. :) I think I already know JUST what I will do! But, you will have to wait to see! ;) Have a great thursday everyone!

Shadow's new crush...

I know I already posted once today, but I really wanted to post this today. Besides, I missed a few days, and really need to make up for it!! :)

So, this is our kitty Shadow's new crush... It would appear as though the feelings are mutual. I suppose we will have to see, I can only imagine the marriage counseling they would need... :)

New furniture!

I am so excited! I havent posted about this yet, because I wanted to make sure things were for sure going through... but it looks like we have finally sold our trailer! The paper work is with the title company, and while we do not have an exact closing date... it is being processed. :) It was hard to sell our little trailer, it was just a 73 Tamarac on a city lot. But, it was our first place together, and will always seem special. :) I will try and dig up some pictures!

The guy buying it is a contractor, so the trailer is being moved and a new house will be going up. He is giving the trailer to a family that recently lost their house, so I was excited to know the trailer wont be sold for scrap metal! :)

So, with the sale of the trailer we will be paying off some debt and also splurging on a few things. Which means, I get a new couch. :) We ordered one on saturday when we went shopping at pier1. It is a sleeper sofa, so will also give us an extra bed for company. While I have been forever grateful for our blue couch (it really is in great condition!) I am excited to get a contemporary piece of furniture. :) As soon as it comes in I will be sure and post pictures. Hopefully in the next couple of weeks!

We also bought this papasan chair, and while I always thought they were too big... I sat in one on saturday at pier1... I fell in love. They are soo perfect for lounging. Jaydon and I can both squeeze in it! Although I worry it will eventually give out on us! :) Ok, well I have also been SUPRE busy working on some more abstract pieces of art. I am so happy with the new direction my style seems to be going.

well, hope your all having a great monday!

Been tagged... :)

Here are the rules:1. Link to your tagger and post these rules.2. List eight (8) random facts about yourself.3. Tag eight people at the end of your post and list their names (linking to them).4. Let them know they’ve been tagged by leaving them a comment on their blogs. 8 facts about me: 1) I worked at a Chevrolet dealership for three years and drove a 91 Ford mustang GT convertible. Needless to say, the salesman liked to pick on me. :) 2) After meeting Jaydon (my husband) we got engaged three weeks later, and married three months after that. I never imagined myself doing that, getting married so quickly. But, after meeting him... we knew we were meant to be together. What would be the point in waiting? We are coming up on our 4 year engagement the 18th of next month. :) My poor family and friends, they thought I was nuts! 3) I love to bake, dessert mostly.... Although, it seems as though I have not done NEARLY as much as I used to. I think my urge tends to come out more in the winter months. :) 4) I have never lived outside the state of Washington. When we were engaged, we weren't sure where we were going to live. Since Jaydon was currently living in Grand Junction, CO. it was going to be there or here in the tri-cities area (where I was born and raised) At the time, I had actually hoped it would work out for us to live in co. It seemed like such an adventure! But, it ended up that he felt we were supposed to be here. Now, when I think of ever leaving... it seems scary! I suppose, when and if we have to cross that bridge I can deal with it then! :) 5) I would LOVE to buy two lhasa apso puppies, raise them and breed them. They are the most adroable dogs. We had a Lhasa mix when we first got married, and it was the neatest dog imaginable! We taught him *rocket* the coolest tricks! Let me dig up a picture... hee hee *dig* up a pic! ;) 6) I started homeschooling my 9th grade year. It just seemed right at the time, and I do not regret it one bit. :) 7) I am SCARED to death of spiders! Fortunately growing up, I was blessed with a little brother that was ever so kind as to kill them for me, whenever I spotted one. Now, I have a super sweet husband that does it for me, and NEVER complains. :) 8) I am the proud mommy to a little angel named Trinity. She will turn three this November! She really has been an unusually mild mannered and polite child. Even when she was a baby... she rarely ever cried, and really spoiled ME. I fear that with our next one (whenever that will be ;) I am going to not have things so easy, and it will a culture shock for me. :) Wow... okthat was 8 random, (and not so interesting) things about me. :) Now, I am supposed to tag 8 ppl. Do I really have to? I have been tagging ppl all of last month (or so it seems) everyone is going to LOVE me. :) It doesnt help that I have such a small circle of friends. ;) I am going to cheat and only tag 2 people... ok here they are...

Enagement pictures

Wheeew! 600+ pictures later, and ALOT of editing... has yielded these results. A few of mine, Roman, and Shaela's favorites. I am so thrilled with how they turned out. Roman and Shaela were up for anything, and really were good troopers! :) It was somewhat awkward at the laudnry mat. There were a few other people there, and needless to say... I think they enjoyed the free entertainment. We quickly took our pictures there, and I have to say... despite the conditions, I think they turned out great. :)

The grocery store was a blast too! We had to keep an eye out for the produce guy. Or rather he was keeping an eye out for us. :) Definitly made some memories to go right along with these pictures! It was fun, and I am glad we have a few good ones.

Ok... on to the September drawing stuff. This month I have chosen freedom to be the winning print. Please see here for all the rules regarding the contest. :)

They are engaged!!

Roman and Shaela are engaged! I took their engagement pictures yesterday, and I am so thrilled with how they turned out. these are my favorites from the bunch. My first ever storyboard. Roman and Shaela were such good troopers. :) They were up for ALL my crazy ideas! I will post more pictures later, I am still editing a few of our favorites from the 600+ that I took. I will be sure and post more in the next couple days!

...and our winner for the month of August is...

Jenna! Congrats, you were the name drawn from the mug. The picture is blurry, and I do apologize to all. Looking at blurry pictures is no fun. :) But, it is indeed your name. I will contat you via convo.

Thanks to all who entered, the September drawing is now in place... be sure to check back in Tuesday to see which print will be given away. :)

I have company for the weekend, so I am leaving you with a short post! Have a great holiday weekend everyone, and happy first of September!!

Leafscape

Yesterday I was asked if a companion print to leafscape, would ever make its way to etsy. Because I loved working with leafscape, I decided to do just that. So, here it is. It still does not feel completely finished to me. I am going to take a break from it, and come back later. Maybe then I will know just what it is missing.

I am also working on another illustration inspired by shannon. It will feature a cat and a bird in love... "opposites attract" :) Thanks for the great idea shannon!

Also, preparing (cleaning) my house today. Tomorrow, my sister, brother-in-law and niece will be visiting from California. Also, my brother and fiancee (I cant believe I forgot to post about their recent engagement!) will be here for the three day weekend. She will be staying with us for the weekend, along with my sister and her family. This should be fun, and a little interesting! Our house is just under 1,000 sq. ft. So, we will all be very warm and cozy! :)

I am planning to take Roman and Shaela's engagement pictures. I have been brainstorming a TON of ideas, and I cant wait to try them all out on the two of them. I will be sure and post a collection of my favorites on here! :)

Fall is on its way...

The above picture is the "after" pleeease keep in mind, that this was no way near what it looked like before I organized! I filled two garbage bags with clothes to be donated. So, please do not think I am a super organized freak. :)

I think my urge to declutter has been brought on by the chillier evenings. Fall is coming, and with that the new fall fashions. I need to make room for all those new spiffy styles! Besides, when it comes to the point that I dread getting completely get caught up on my laundry, because I have no empty hangers, or lack of hanging space... its time to do something about it!

So, today I am going to get caught up on my laundry! :) Fortunately we still have a very small family, so keeping up with the laundry is somewhat of an easy task. I also have a little girl that hates to get dirty, and that definitly helps me out some!

Speaking of fall fashions... I can't help but wonder what colors will be in. I did a little digging, and found this on EZINE:

"The summer colors tended toward fun and bright turquoises, pinks, and greens. We are going to warm things up and tone down a bit with the fall selection. No matter what color names the designers give them, the trend this year is very much in the gold tones. Burgandy, rust, wine, camel, and dark chocolate brown.

However the two hot colors for fall are purple and green. The green is a continuation of the summer, but warmed up a bit with burnt olives, celeries, and a darker celadon. We expect green to be around for another season or so. The trend color of the season is purple and the warmer the purple the better."

........................................................................................

I love green, and purple and green together sounds like an interesting color combo. One I wouldnt think to put together! But, am now excited to try. I think it has inspired me to try the colors on a new illustration. :)

A weeks worth of photos!

So, tomorrow will be my first week into project 365. It has not always been easy to take a picture for each day. But it is soo rewarding to stick with it. :) The above picture is my favorite for the week. My parents are putting their house up for sale. So, I finally had to go and take down all 43+ packs of stars. It was a BIG job, I also had about a 1,000 small sticker stars on the ceiling and slightly down the walls. Trin helped us pick them off the floor, and put them in this copper colored basket like thing. :)

It looked awesome at night, and was really nifty to get to see a falling star while lying in bed. But, I suppose all good things must come to an end? I still have them all, but it may take me a few months to forget how much of a pain it was to take them down. Maybe by then, I will decide to hang them in Trin's room. However, we do have 9.6' tall ceilings... it may take me a year to be stupid enough to decide to attempt hanging them! :)

-Oh and for the record, should you find yourself in my situation... a stiff plastic spatula works really well in taking the stars down! :)

{5 days left}

A week from today, "chirp away" will be in the mail and on its way to grace one lucky winner's wall. There is only 5 days left to get in on the August drawing. Any purchase made after 5 o clock my time, will automatically get bumped into the September drawing. To keep it fair, and simpler I wont be able to make any exceptions. :)

If your wondering what this is all about... you can see the original post here. :)

Currently we have 7 names in the cup. Oh, and as I mentioned in the first post, each print you buy will increase your odds.

Good luck to all! :)

mail=goodies

So, I had a great mail day today! I had a couple of things from etsy come in the mail, and I couldnt be more thrilled with them. I knew I just had to share with all of you!


First... these super adorable "dragon feet" from justkiddn of etsy. The feet are for Shandi. When Tamara was pregnant she had a dream that she had given birth to a dragon. It was a pretty cute joke, and when I seen these, I knew Shandi needed a pair. They are meant to be frog feet, but hey... they work as a dragon feet, right? :) This is actually my third purchase from justkiddn. I bought my niece Jenna a pair of the oasobi booties, and Ashton a pair of the duck feet. They are very reasonably priced at 10.00. The feet are a little more at 12.00. An exclellent price for something handmade with attention to detail, and super quick shipping. She happens to also be here in Washington, which is an added bonus! :) Definitly a shop worth checking out. I recommend her very highly. You can find justkiddn's shop here:





My second thing... this vintage/modern pencil case from Elliotspigeons all the way in Australia. I was thrilled to have found this store while browsing the treasury on etsy. I loved the choice of fabrics, (although it made choosing ONE hard!) and was excited to have the honor of being this shops first sale. :) I am sure I am the first of many more to come. I have been needing a new way to carry my drawing pencils. You can see my "before" and understand what I mean. It was working... but how stylish is that?


I condensed the pencils down to my essentials. My 2b pencils, an eraser, and my pens. It is so much better on the eyes, and I can proudly whip it out whenever inspiration hits. I have to admit, this pencil case is inspiring me to draw now as I write this. What an amazing friend, packs my "tools" around for me, and even inspires me at the same time? Life is good. :) You can see Elliotspigeons here...

Well, I suppose I have a little house cleaning I need to get to! :) I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Nice Matters Award! :)

Mary was super sweet and presented me with this little award. It was very touching. :) Thanks Mary.

I hear this award represents someone who tries to spread nice, inspirational posts throughout the blogging world.

So, I have prepared a speech... :)

*clears throat and nervously stands up straighter*

"First off I would like to thank Mary for choosing me to receive this award. I feel they're are plenty of other people who deserve this award more so then me. Second, my parents for raising me to have a soft heart. My sister who constantly tried my "niceness" and made me the super nice person I am today. I also couldnt possibly forget that geeky boy I "dated" in 5th grade. He taught me a valuable lesson... dont go out with a boy just because you dont want to hurt his feelings. You always end up being the opposite of "nice" when you break up anyway. :D"

Really though, thanks mary! It was uber sweet of you to think of me. So, now I am supposed to pass the torch so to speek. I am off to award a couple ladies myself.

Tara Her blogging posts, have really been an inspiration to me. She reminds me of the small things in life that truly do matter. :)

Shannon Since she joined etsy a short time after me, we have helped each other learn the ropes. I have enjoyed her blog, and it has helped keep the distance between us from seeming... well... far away. :)

Dont forget to post the award on your blog ladies. :)

Sweet zZzs

I started on this illustration a week ago, and have only now finished it up. I suppose I took my time on it, a little more so then normal. I tried a couple different variations, before finally becoming thrilled with how this one turned out.

I have wanted to work with cherry blossoms for awhile now, and loved incorporating a japanese/asian inspired birdcage. I think I will probably be doing another one sometime soon! :)

Today I am going to be getting a few prints ready to mail out to projectgrabbag. She will be selling my prints/pocket mirrors at an artists co-op (along side her softies) in IL. She is super sweet for volunteering to do so! Well, I told her they would be ready to go out tomorrow morning, so I best get to printing! :) Have a great Thursday everyone!!

For baby Shandi

This is what I have been busy with lately. I am working on this little book for baby Shandi. The book will be a counting book. It will only go to 6... and these white birds will represent each number. Now... I know she is too little to count, but mainly I wanted to give her a super sweet gift that Tamara can save for her. :)

Each page will have the addition of one bird (the last page is shown) and the clouds will also move ever so slightly to the right, as if to show the passing of time. I hope it turns out. I will be sure and post some pictures when I get a little further with it. :)

project 365

project365- One photo a day for an entire year.

I seen this flickr group yesterday, and was so excited to follow along. :) I enlisted the help of shannon, and hopefully we will keep each other motivated to stick with it. It would be so neat at the end of the year to print out 365 thumbnail sized pictures representing each day of my life. Of course, I am sure I will have days where the last thing I want to do is take a picture... I guess we will see. My hopes is that by posting about here, you can help me stick with it as well! :) I plan to blog about my favorite photo/day of the week, every week... on monday. So, you should know if I am slacking.... ;)

I have been a big fan of the 365 group where you take a self portait of you for every day of the year... but there is no way I could do that. :) So, when I seen this group... it seemed perfect!

This picture is day 1 August 20th 2007.
