I almost forgot to tell you...

This is what I got for Christmas!

Here's our HOUSE!!

We bought a house on Friday! I still can hardly believe it.

Here's a couple of shots of the kitchen...

Merry Christmas!

We had an absolutely GREAT Christmas this year!

Here are couple of shots from Christmas in K-town.

And here's Stella as I try to get her to pose in front of the presents.

This one I couldn't resist posting. Eric is less than impressed.

Stepping Stones

This happens to be one of the rejects from November.

The children at my aunt's church made these stepping stones and now they are in the front lawn amongst the flowers.

Lily

I went to a wedding this summer and took a lot of photos.

This is a flower from one of the arrangements there.

Mushroom

Long time no post..

I thought I'd post some photos I have taken in the past until I get some new stuff.

Here's a mushroom I found growing in my front yard a couple of months ago.

I have already posted shots of Stella, Athena, and the foster puppy, Brutus.
So it seems only fair that I also include Aphrodite.

Here she is on the mat in the bathroom, staring at Stella - making sure she doesn't come too close.

So, that's it.
I have successfully taken a photo-a-day for a whole month.
It was really hard some days (I'm sure you could tell when I had an uninspiring day).
I think from now on, I will keep posting photos that I take on this blog, but it won't be every day...

Lots of people have already put up their Christmas lights.

This is a house in my aunt's neighborhood - I really liked the simplicity of the icicle lights.

The sunset outside my house.

November 27, 2007

I have always loved candles...
I love the way they smell,
and I love watching the flame dance.

November 25, 2007

I dried all of the flowers in my wedding bouquet and put them in a couple of glass jars.

November 24, 2007

Eric's stepmother already had her Christmas tree up.

I really liked this Santa Gourd.

November 23, 2007

The maple tree in my mother-in-law's back yard.

November 22, 2007

A bracelet of mine.

November 21, 2007

LIPS!

November 20, 2007

Nutmeg.

Kinda cool, huh?

The beaded fringe on one of our table lamps.

Athena trying to sleep on the recliner, but being disturbed by me and the camera.

November 17, 2007

A lawn decoration in front of my aunt's church.

November 16, 2007

There was frost on the ground this morning...

I guess you can tell winter is on its way.

November 15, 2007

This one looks better when you click on it.

I liked the colors of the sky with the moon in the distance.

November 14, 2007

The tree in the front yard of my work.

November 13, 2007

Trying out the light box I made...

I have really been getting into stamping lately.
Here is one of the Christmas cards I made for this year.

November 12, 2007

I made chili for dinner tonight...

November 11, 2007

See Spot...

My aunt and uncle are on vacation this week, so I am going by and checking in on their two cats, Spot and Junior.

*On a puppy update: We found Brutus' owner today. I'm really glad he's in his own home again. He's a really sweet puppy, but a little too much for us right now.

At the salon where my mom and I get our hair cut.

Kitchen utensils.

November 8, 2007

Lights outside the window on the way back from Murfreesboro.

November 7, 2007

This is Brutus, the little puppy that we found on Sunday.

We are fostering him until we find his family or find him a new home.

Isn't he adorable?!?

From one of the bushes outside of my office.

November 5, 2007

A kitchen theme, apparently.
Not all that surprising as I spend a lot of my home-time in the kitchen.

November 4, 2007

Spicey Spices.

November 3, 2007

Our wedding rings.

It's weird to think we've been married almost 2 and a half years.

November 2, 2007

Stella playing fetch with Eric and the "Hurl-A-Squirrel".

November 1, 2007

Here it is.
Photo one.
In my opinion, a not so bad mirror self-portrait.

A New Day

Tomorrow, November 1, 2007, I will try to take one picture each day for a month. I may not post every day, but I'll take the pictures and post them at least a couple of times a week.

I am gearing up to do this for a whole year. November is just a trial run, so to speak.

I am hoping this will help to improve my photography. Hopefully it will make me see things in a different light.

I know not all of the photos will be great, but I am hoping that a lot of them will be portfolio worthy.

Wish me luck!
