Miscellany Monday

1. I have really enjoyed watching the 5 day wedding photography workshop with Jasmine Star on Creative Live.  Yes, I spent almost all weekend watching.  It was A.M.A.Z.I.N.G!!  Jasmine Star is very inspiring and charismatic person.  I am not a wedding photographer, but what she had to say over the 5 days inspired and resonated with me.  Much of what Jasmine talked about could translate over to people running any business.  I soaked up all of the info I could over the 5 days.  I am truly grateful I stumbled upon Creative Live a couple days before the event and tuned in.  I am going to definitely watch more of their creative classes.

2.  We are going camping this weekend.  Wish me luck...I am not a "camping" person.  While I like the outdoors I would much rather stay in a hotel and sleep in a real bed.  The only reason I agreed to go camping is because we are going with wonderful friends.  I know we will have a fabulous time.  It's going to be interesting trying to cram everything into our Hyundai Elantra.  The saving grace is there is a Walmart close, so we are buying most of our food when we get there.

3.  Super excited...my camera lens is on it's way back home.  I am hoping it gets here on Thursday as predicted so I can take it with me camping.  I LOVE my new 50mm lens, glad it is done being fixed.  Lets hope I don't have any other problems with it.  I can not wait to take some awesome shots while camping.  =)

4. Remember last week, when I showed you the bow centers?  Look at how pretty the ballerinas look on these bows from Graceful Girls.  ADORABLE!

Hope everyone has a fantastic week!!

Miscellany Monday

1.  I have been busy with clay.  I have been working on a couple large custom orders.  It takes a while to create something for someone from scratch.  If you are a fan on facebook then you may have seen some of my newest made to match Gymboree bow centers.  (I also made some ballerina ornaments for Christmas.)

2.  I am LOVING the new Baja Salad from Wendy's.  The guacamole is sooo yummy!  I only use one dressing packet (it's only 3 points), don't use the crunchy strips (they are like doritos so I give them to the kids) and save the chili for a different meal.  If I am home, I put baked Tortilla chips on it.  DELICIOUS! 


3.  As of last week I have lost 17.8 lbs.  Slowly it is melting away.  Only 38.7 lbs left to go.  My husband has lost about 20 lbs.  I have been eating tomato sandwiches on light bread with light Miracle Whip alot.  YUM!  One sandwich is only 2-3 Weight Watcher points depending on how much Miracle Whip you use.

4.  I picked up my entries from the fair today along with my winnings.  I am still doing the happy dance.  I am definitely going to enter again next year. 

5.  I went to the beach last week and took photos for a friend and still have to process all of them.  I have been super busy, see #1.  Her kids were adorable and I had lots of fun.  Here are a couple of my favorites.

6.  I have finally finished all of my blog books.  (Go here to see what I am talking about.)  It was wild to look back at when I started blogging.  I am all caught up and can not wait to get the rest of them in the mail.  Now if I could be that caught up with the rest of my projects.
