Day 135


Oh my...I have TOTALLY neglected my 366 blog! *tear* Maybe I will do better next year and actually do a picture every day! Well, for what it's worth, I will post a collage I just put together from my visit to the Botanical Gardens this past Monday.

Another contest entry...This one is for a trip to WPPI in Vegas, baby! I almost froze my fingers off taking this shot, so you'll have to cross your fingers for me!

Day 41

Hmmm...my next decision: What cool background paper color to order next?! I currently have white, black, and suede gray. I love Mocha (currently backordered)...but would also love an eye-popping color.

Day 29

I lost my Grandpa today. What a kind soul he was...he farmed his entire life. I remember him in overalls, with dirty hands, coming in from working in the fields for a wonderful dinner my Grandma would make...and how he always had a hug ready for his granddaughters. A smile on his face, a twinkle in his eye, and always a story to tell anyone who would sit and listen. Grandpa...you are now home.
