I can't believe I got so behind on this project. The last 9 weeks have been full of canning and freezing for the winter months and preparing for my annual vendor fair. I opened my Etsy Shop, My Story Creations. My dad finished up my kitchen cabinets, so the kitchen is close to being finished. My daughter started rehearsals for this years Nutcracke...

A bit of traveling came in handy for weeks 34 and 35 themes. Neither are strong techniques of mine but I found them fun and challenging. During week 35 I was in Lancaster, Pennsylvania on a little trip with my mom and my daughter. We stayed at The Australian Walkabout Inn and were spoiled with a hot tub in our room and wonderfully made break...

Once again I find myself playing catch up with weeks 31, 32 and 33. I've had a wonderful summer with several road trips and nights away. Days spent with friends and watching young ladies play. I have spent little time at the computer, but that will be changing as fall approaches and my calendar starts to fill up with family portraits and beautifu...

With all the fun going on and trips away, I haven't found much time to sit in front of the computer and compose my weekly post. So today is catch-up and I'll give a...

I love the character these old vehicles have and I always wonder what stories they have hidden behind the wheel. “And the rest is rust and stardust.” ― Vladimir Nabokov, Lolita Be sure...

I decided to share a photo from my daughter's dance recital for this weeks theme. These kids work so hard and I look forward to these shows all year. It seems like it gets better every year.

For this weeks theme, I decided to share on of my one of our favorite summer spots. There is nothing like a leisure day by the river. “It occurred to me that no words by the tongue of man can express the simplicities of a quiet land, so I returned to the river.” ― Daniel J. Rice, The Unpeopled Season: Journal from a North Country Wilderness Be...

For this weeks post I decided to use this precious photo. These little guys certainly piped our curiosity the last couple of weeks. This photo was taken last Monday and sometime Friday they spread their wings and left the nest. Be sure to check out Sarah Jastre Photography to see her photo of the week.
