COLD – You Capture

February 10, 2011 by Elaine

I’m usually okay with winter.  I like wearing sweaters and drinking hot tea and cocoa and snuggling under lots of blankets.  But the last few weeks have been full of more gray skies that I’m used too and well, I’m thinkin’ Old Man winter needs to pack his bags and get out. Is is Spring…

Canvas Press – Review & (Awesome) Giveaway!

February 9, 2011 by Elaine

I have family photos of my kids, our wedding, our extended family sprinkled all over the house.  I love to frame and display photos almost as much as I love to take them (okay, maybe as much or more…).  These photos bring smiles to my face as I walk down the hallway to deliver laundry…

It Was Mine

February 7, 2011 by Elaine

a view during my run on Saturday… I could barely feel my toes at the beginning. So cold. I scanned the crowd and saw so many others with the “right” running clothes. 1300 people. I was ONE of them. I heard the horn and my legs went. And went. I could feel my heart beating…

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…

He Drives Me Crazy

February 1, 2011 by Elaine

I have a bit of a “love/not liking what you are doing right now at all!!” relationship with my middle child these days. One moment he’s smiling and playing and the next he is whining his face off or even crying about something that I cannot even understand. It’s like a switch flips in his…

Where’ve I Been?

January 30, 2011 by Elaine

Well, that’s kind of a loaded question. I mean, I did go to Nashville for Blissdom but I also just haven’t been here, in the bloggy world much at all this last week. I haven’t even posted anything here since LAST Sunday night. That’s a week ago. I don’t think I’ve gone a week without…

Have Your Cake and Read It Too

January 24, 2011 by Elaine

I probably shouldn’t have had another piece. Actually no… I just shouldn’t have, no “probably” about it. But it was just a sliver… although mid-cut I decided I wanted a little more than a sliver and began to cut my piece at an angle, afterward gingerly gathering all the crumbs that landed as I changed…

Time Stoppage, The Impossible Dream

January 21, 2011 by Elaine

Are you like me?Do you ever wish time would just stop for a while with your kids?  Like right now, Baby K is about to enter the phase that we, at our house, like to call “the age of maximum cuteness”. From around 16 to 20 months the little ones are just so crazy cute…

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…
