Red – You Capture

February 3, 2011 by Elaine

I found all kinds of RED things.   I’ve also decided to follow my bliss and have REALLY started to use my camera the right way (notice I said “start”-it’s a journey).  See what you think… Can anyone guess what this is?  Bib from the 10K I ran back in November “Berry” pretty berries. 🙂 Some…

Follow Your Bliss – WW

February 2, 2011 by Elaine

I was at this conference for less than 48 hours. I flew in Wednesday night while there was a dusting of snow on the ground and flew out Friday afternoon when there was no sign of it left. My roomies were quick to accept me. I mean really, it was like we’d roomed together a…

Circles – You Capture

January 20, 2011 by Elaine

My Bead for Life necklace that I adore… A camellia in the middle of it’s blooming process… A random ball in the backyard.  Circles upon a circle…

Doorways – You Capture

January 13, 2011 by Elaine

I do believe the city/town (I cannot seem to decide which it is…) in which we live has a certain motif that it likes when it comes to DOORWAYS… Can you see what it is in the next FOUR photos?       And I’ll admit, these last two were taken back in November of last…

10 (okay i mean 13) Photos From 2010 – You Capture

January 5, 2011 by Elaine

Here are some of my very favorite photographs that I took last year. I had a hard time narrowing it down so I went with a “baker’s dozen” worth of pics instead of 10. I hope y’all don’t mind. And SO MUCH thanks to Beth for inspiring me to take LOTS of pics last year…

I took a lot of pictures last year…

January 2, 2011 by Elaine

I mean A. LOT!!! The number is definitely in the thousands but I’m not sure how many exactly. It’s hard to sift through that many photos and choose favorites but I did it anyway (narrowing it down by choosing ones that I already had in a folder for the ole blog here…) I also updated…

Holiday Magic – You Capture

December 23, 2010 by Elaine

I’ve always thought there was a little MAGIC in all things small. Like fairies and leprechauns and well, when I was a little girl, even barbie shoes. Yes I know, I’m weird. I had a “Littles” doll house that I got one Christmas (I don’t think they make Littles anymore and the “baby” of the…

Outside – You Capture

December 16, 2010 by Elaine

I went and did a little shopping tonight. BY MYSELF. Did you catch that? I was ALONE. Now mind you, sometimes I like shopping with the family or even friends but tonight? I NEEDED some “me time”. Like soVERYbad. The last couple of late afternoons/evenings with the kids have been INSANE and I just needed…

Waiting for Santa and Dumb Mom’s Bright Smiles Holiday Photo Contest

December 15, 2010 by Elaine

We didn’t have to wait THAT long to see Santa Claus on Sunday. We got in line at 11:15 and Santa showed up around noon. While we waited for him to take his place at his “workshop” Tim took the kids to ride the carousel, they shared some cinnamon and sugar pretzel sticks from the…

SWEET – You Capture

December 9, 2010 by Elaine

Snickerdoodle anyone? I made these SWEET morsels late Tuesday night for a MOMS club meeting on Wednesday morning. Thanks to @poobou and @lovingmom2boys for the idea on twitter (I asked what cookie I could make with “regular” ingredients on the fly and they both answered with “snickerdoodles” within seconds of each other – I love…
