oh what a day

via weheartit

that is all i have today. it is cold outside, i don't feel like working and i have a headache the size of the earth (yes that big!).

i like winter, but damnit snow or something! stop being cold with no reason to stay at home.

i am working on doing some weekly features. i want to do something different - just haven't had that "ahha" moment yet.

can't wait for the weekend...cause we are going ROLLERSKATING! hopefully by then, this headache will be gone. if not, i probably should be worried that my brain is falling apart inside my skull....eek!

simple sunday

on sundays i am going to try and feature something that simple. either a picture worth a thousand words or a music video or a news story. something along those lines.
today's music video is one of my favorites. it makes me always hits a key with me.

Look where I am at this month!!

from WeHeartIt

i decided to sponsor a few blogs this month. i have not done this before - so if you are coming from one of these wonderful blogs!! Thanks for stopping by. I will have items in my shop soon - I am working on new prints and will have them posted in a couple of weeks.

and if you are a regular at my blog and never been to the sites below - definitely stop by and say hi to them!

Campfire Chic

she has wonderful embroidery items and is totally outdoorsy and adorable!

PampleMousse

she is another Texas girl! I haven't had the chance to meet her in person - but maybe soon :) her blog has a lot of fun and craftiness to it!

Pixies and Bears

Lindsey is totally awesome. We met through Elsie's blog and online classes. I was hoping to finally meet her last year at a weekend in St. Louis - but I ended up being in Las Vegas for Kinect training. Maybe next time!


Remember to stop by their blogs and post them a comment!! Everyone loves comments and it just takes a second!

over the hump

it is getting closer to the end of the day.
on my mind
my massage tonight cause i feel like i was hit with a bat on my neck
getting through this week at work
getting my 2010 photo review done

i did happen to come across some old phone photos taken last year

taken in nevada


driving home from work

taken in austin

what a process

for some reason it takes me forever to post a blog entry. i am such a perfectionist so i go into too much detail. maybe i should start limiting my entries to 2 pictures or something so you can at least have a little. i swear i have like 30 half way finished entries that i forget about cause i am 1. scatterbrained 2. impatient 3. get bored too easily 4. forgetful


i am still working on the 2010 in review post cause i was not organized with my pictures last year at all. i have them in like 5 different places!


so to hold you over. here is a little something from sunday when i went antiqueing with my lovely friend skye!

photo by me (will be available on etsy soon)

2011!!

hello everyone!
one of my goals for 2011 is to blog more and to showcase my photography on a more frequent basis. i am going to be back tomorrow with 2010 review. i will also post my black eyed pea bean dip for everyone. in the south - eating black eyed peas on new years day will bring the year with good luck. we have made just beans before - but last year i did a dip and made another one today.

both the boy and i are going to be making a list of 20 things to do and 11 places to visit for 2011 and i will post later this week.

hope everyone is already having a great start to their year! i hope to be around a little more and make time for all my web lovelies.
