{My attempt at photography}

So if you follow me on facebook, then you've already seen these pictures and I thank you all so much for the sweet comments ..I am so flattered...but for those of you that are not on facebook (first of all, whats wrong with you?) and second of all, I wanted to introduce you to an adorable little family! They were my "guinea pigs" a couple of weekends ago while I practiced with some new techniques on my camera. I am still very much in the learning process but thanks to the photography group I am a part of that meets every month or so, I will be able to develop a better understanding on the amazing editing world of Photoshop cs4. So here are some of the images I have so far. These were not edited in Photoshop but once I begin to figure it out, I will re-edit these in hopefully a more professional fashion!
But for now, enjoy this beautiful little girl and her family :)

{Our New Bathroom}

As you may or may not know, about a month after moving into our new house {10/07} we had a major flooding which caused us to pretty much have to re-model our entire house. We did the kitchen right away along with all of our main living areas but since we already have 2 other bathrooms, we didn't rush to finish the 3rd bathroom. We finally got around to it because it's nice for our guests to be able to have their own bathroom while they stay with us. Well we are nearly 99% finished and so I'd thought I share some before and after pictures! My awesome hubby did everything including the floors, molding, lighting and paint (thanks babe!) all I did was design and decorate :)

{Going Green & Cloth}

Last week I entered into a drawing being held by Seattle Moms Deal Finder one of my favorite money saving blogs and I won 2 tickets to the Seattle Green Festival! So Steven and I went on Sunday and we had a great time! I learned so much about many different topics, received many samples and was able to get a better idea of questions I had, one of them being cloth diapering. I had been quite interested in it ever since talking to my friend Becky who also does this. From talking to many different companies it has now reaffirmed my decision not only because it is way more cost effective but because diapers take up so much room in our landfills. We are starting to potty train Jacob now and its going really good. I figure Norah still has awhile and since we're not done having children, I can get more uses out of them later on.
My question to you is, if you cloth diaper, what brand do you use and why?
What are the initial start up costs?
and are the diapers you use adjustable?

I was overwhelmed at the different brands out there and I thought a personal referral would be better than buying them all and trying them out myself!
One of them that caught my interest was BumGenius...any opinions?
Thank you so much!!

For next years show, I encourage all of you to go! Even if you dont agree with everything, it sure is an eye opening experience and is definatley worth your time! To see what was available this year, you can go here

{Adventures in cardmaking}

I guess you can say I have become obsessed! It is so much fun and way easier than scrap-booking but unfortunately, not any cheaper :( What used to be daily trips to the mall, have now turned into frequent visits to Joanns and Michaels...they bait you in with great coupons and awesome sales I cant control myself! Crafting days have become weekly occurances at my place with some very creative girls! Thank you Amberlyn, Suzie and Brie for bringing me into the world of cardmaking! Bear with me as Im just starting and have yet to invest in the many tools need to create some amazing cards, that, and Im pretty plain anyway....

Enjoy!

{It can get really messy!}
