Day 16: A picture of someone who inspires you

Ok, so this is a topic that I haven't thought about since I was little. And when I first sat down to think about my answer, I didn't have one. And I still don't think I have one person who inspires me. I aspire to be a great mother and wife, to be a creative photographer, to be a renowned anthropologist/archaeologist! So I am inspired by every great mother, every photographer who has ever taken a photo that captivated me, and by all those who have ever made a lasting career in archaeology. There isn't really a picture to describe that. But this is what I came up with...


photgrapher: Jim Zuckerman

archaeologist/egyptologist: Zahi Hawass

i FINISHED a project!!! early!!

HOLY BOLOGNA!!! Hahha I actually had so much fun doing the 30 day photo challenge that I finished all of the 30 days! I've just scheduled my posts to come out once a day for the next 21 days! It's been so long since I actually finished something that I've started! Maybe it will give me a boost of motivation to finish other projects, such as G's flashcards, or at least to start the kids scrapbooks... Maybe... 

Day 9: A picture of the person who has gotten me through the most

Day 6: A picture of a person I'd like to trade places for a day

This one was REALLY hard for me. I like being me. There isn't much else that I want that I don't already have. Except maybe more lenses for me camera... lol So..... maybe Graham Hancock, my favorite writer... He's already been to the places I plan to go... Already seen the things I plan to see.. Except I really don't want to be a man.. even for a day.. lol wellll maybe..

some scrapbooking finds

I'm always looking for scrapbooking materials to use. This way I can get ideas for the scrapbooks as I go. I'm not always spontaneously creative. Sometimes I need a few days with something and sometimes just finding a really great paper or sticker set or even craft punch can  inspire me. 

I'm sure Dan thinks I'm crazy sometimes, for example I walked out of Michaels the other day with 90$ worth of stuff. 


I think I may have been over ambititious trying to start 2 scrapbooks at the same time. So since Kellan is still little, I think I'll just work on Garrett's for the time being. One is time consuming enough lol

a long overdue project

I started making Garrett these flashcards when he was 3. He's now 7 and I still have not finished. Procrastination and I are good friends. Some letters are really difficult to find words for. I had a theme when I started - animals - but then i added food.. But there is not animal or food that I could draw for X, so I added musical instruments too.




These are some drawings that haven't made it to foam yet. I still have to work out some kinks. And buy a new utility knife. Also, maybe some new glue. Pieces keep falling off... lol




Dan thinks my vulture is too mean-looking but I think he is AWESOME!


I've probably finished only 14. Hopefully I'll finish them by the time Kellan can use them at least.

first post on my first blog

Ok, so I'm not very creative and I don't know the first thing about blogging. But I like ranting and hearing myself talk (or reading my own posts in this case). So I'll briefly introduce my loves

My oldest boy is the strangest 7 yr old I've ever met. But Garrett IS so creative and is SUPER funny. He's my inspiration for starting a blog! He loves his little brother. Sometimes amazes me with how he shows Kellan just how much he does. 


This is the day we brought Kellan home from the hospital.
