I almost can’t believe there are only 10 weeks left of this project!  But then again, I kind of can believe it because I’m feeling the burn-out starting to set in as I’m in the midst of busy season.  But I promised myself I’d see this project through to the very end and I’m determined to keep that promise.  This week’s theme:

Reflection

So, since Halloween is almost upon us, here’s a little fun for your Friday.

Next in line this week,  Maureen Wilson | Mccomb Mississippi Photographer.

Happy Friday!

This year I’ve teamed up with 19 fabulously talented photographers in a project called Fifty-Two Fridays.  Each week we have a theme and our challenge is to post an image that best represents that theme.  Every week the end of the year is creeping closer and closer and I continue to be inspired and pushed creatively by my fellow photographers.

This week’s theme:

night

The image for this week might blow the cover of  last week’s MORNING image.  Those pink undies made a rare appearance last week because most nights I can actually be found in these comfy cotton PJs.  Maybe even peeking in the fridge for a late night snack.  Maybe…

Happy Weekending!

Morning

I have to give all the credit for today’s image to the photographer that I most admire and want to be when I grow up, Stephanie Rausser.  Is it possible to become someone else when you grow up, even if that person is most likely younger than you?  If so, put me down for becoming Stephanie because her work inspires me, amazes me, and makes me happy.  If you aren’t familiar with her work, stop by her website and be happy with me.  Her lifestyle and editorial approach to photography is phenomenal!  It’s like you stepped out of your own world of commitments and errands and responsibilities and into a world of joy and bright colors and laughter.  Her website , with its shuffling of images, is enough to mesmerize for hours.  And while you’re there, you’ll happen upon an image much like the one below, though much better.  I loved it so much that about a month ago I attempted to recreate it with my own dog, my own bed, and my own undies (the undies my husband claims he’s not at all familiar with).  I filed it away on my computer and forgot about it until today when I realized I hadn’t shot anything specifically for this week’s theme.  It’s been one of those weeks!  So I brought it out, dusted it off and am sharing it in honor of Stephanie Rausser.

Come with me as I make my way around the circle of good mornings starting with  Sara Tegman | St. Louis Photographer.

Happy Friday and Happy Weekending!

 

 

Happy Friday!

This year I’ve teamed up with 19 fabulously talented photographers in a project called Fifty-Two Fridays.  Each week we have a theme and our challenge is to post an image that best represents that theme.  We are more than half-way through the year and I continue to be inspired and pushed creatively by my fellow photographers.

This week’s theme:

Pretend / Make-believe

The inspiration for this came late yesterday, the busiest day of the week.  So I recruited the help of my boys to create the set for me while I went to my third Back-to-School night of the week.  (Only one more to go).  I got home at almost 9:00 last night and we shot this in about 10 minutes and tucked the kids in bed.  My older kids insisted I watch Project Runway with them which lasted until 11:00.  Then I finally had time to cull, edit, and blog this.  Whew!  Talk about down to the wire!  But I love it.  I hope you do too.

I can not wait to see what the other girls have for this week!  Next stop in this circle of all things make-believe, my talented friend Melanie Pitcher, Memphis, TN Photographer.

 

I don’t usually (ever) agree to product reviews but when Angela from Invisibleskinz contacted me to review one of their iphone skins, I agreed.  Maybe because my iphone is near and dear to my heart.  Or maybe because there we so many designs to choose from, including the logo from my alma mater.  But for whatever reason, I said “Absolutely”.  So, after perusing the many pages of designs on their website, I chose this one.  When it arrived in the mail, I was surprised at how thin it was.  I was half expecting an actual case.  But this was more of a skin, as the name implies.  I popped my case off,  peeled the skin off of its backing and stuck it to my naked phone.  Easy peasy.  It also came with strips for the sides but I chose not to add those because I have what I refer to as clumsy-cell-phone-fingers and I tend to drop my phone weekly if not daily.  The skin definitely protects my phone from scratches, but not from falls, so I was afraid the strips on the sides would peel off when I popped my case back on from time to time.

I’ve been wearing my skin for about a month now and love it.  The material  makes my phone easy to grasp and hang onto, so less falls.  Woo-hoo!  The back of my phone has not seen a scratch at all and when I see that college logo, I feel a tiny bit young and nostalgic for a moment.  I highly recommend visiting Invisibleskinz and checking out their wide variety of designs for a wide range of cell phones.

Thanks, Invisibleskinz!
