1. Do you apologize to your kids if you're wrong?

Oh yes!  I don't think you can teach reality if your children think you are perfect and never mess up.

I still have my ring and my letterman's jacket! (25 yrs later!)

31, I didn't have much stress and I felt really good.  You are also taken more seriously since you are not a 20 something and still want to have fun but not make dumb choices.

Mercedes

5. If you could make your child like something what would it be?

Cleaning up after himself! (He's 22!)

Hoo Are You 9/27

Here are this week's questions!  

1.  What is your Zodiac sign?

 I am a Libra. 

Some more interesting facts about your sign:

The symbol associated with your sign is the scales of balance

adopted by our judicial system to symbolize a balance of fairness in the law which is emphasized by 'blind justice' holding them.

My phone, my keys and loose change.

 

3. Which magazines do you look at the most?

 Pluck

 

5. How often do you go grocery shopping?

I like to go once a week with a list.  My husband usually does the shopping though and he goes for this and that all the time.  Drives me crazy! (I can't complain too much since he is doing it and not me...)

Six Word Saturday

I had a wonderful Birthday today!

Thank You

I just love how these flowers turned out, I will be making many more in the future!  Botanical Silhouettes is an excellent set too very versatile.

Supplies:
Stamps - PTI Background Basics Text Style; Botanical Silhouettes
Bloom Builders #3 Die
White Card Stock
Copic Markers in Pink colors
Adirondack Espresso Ink and Momento Pink Blush

Wishing you a great day!

Wishing you Joy

 

I really like how this card turned out.  This is not a good picture but I forgot to upload it to photobucket before I left home and this I took on my phone.  I think I am going to use this for a birthday card but it could be for almost any special occasion.  This is using MME DP, Martha Steward glitter (it matched the glitter on the DP, YAY!) and everything else is what else???? Papertrey Ink!  I tell you I should own stock in this company!  They take most of my paycheck anyway!  I am not complaining!  Everything they sell is topnotch!  I used the Fresh Snow ink, Half & Half stamp, Smokey Shadow and (I think) Raspberry Fizz paper.


Thanks for stopping by!

Sweet Shot Tuesday 9/6

I came across this great blog yesterday and she hosts a link party.  So I linked up!  :)  You should check it out, there is some neat stuff here.  Especially if you are trying to improve your photography like I am!

This is my favorite shot from this week.  It is a close up of a weed flower on the path down to the beach. I think it is kind of pretty, they pop up here and there in the grasses and it adds color to an almost all green/tan area. I am trying to get the hang of pictures with a focal point, either in the foreground or background and the rest blurry. 
 

5QF 9/9

 

1. What ringtone do you have on your cell phone? 

I have many, I found an app that makes ringtones out of your music and so I have 17 custom rings!  My next one will be Rolling in the Deep by Adele.  I LOVE her!

2. What is your favorite memory from this summer? 

 When I bought my one way ticket to AZ!  Leavin’ on a Jet Plane, don’t know when I’ll be back again…

3. Paper books or ebooks?

Paper for sure, I like hardbacks but usually by paperbacks because of the cost.

 
4. If you could have one home upgrade what would it be and why? 

 Convert part of the garage into a shop.

5. When was your first serious boyfriend/girlfriend?

In the summer of 1987 when I met my husband. 

Scavenger Hunt Sunday

I am trying to teach myself how to use the MANY features on my camera and these are some of my pics.  This is my first SHS, I hope I will be able to do more in the future so that I can see how my photography has improved!

Stairs

I started playing with the filters in photobucket.  This ships wheel is living next to the stairs until we can determine it's final resting place.


Macro 

This was a weed flower on the path to the beach, I thought they were pretty.
 
Clouds

I am a sucker for sunsets!  I keep taking pictures of them but haven't had one turn out as beautiful as the real thing.  I will keep trying though.  :)
Abstract

This is my version of abstract.  I used the blueprint filter on this picture:

I like the abstract picture better.
 
Smile

I think the feet in this picture look small, but knowing that they are my feet and that my feet are NOT small makes me smile.  I think the prints look raised which is kinda cool.  Don't have any idea how or why the picture turned out that way but I like it!
