Winter is Here

A few days ago, Fort Wayne recieved our first snowfall (pretty early for accumulation) but today resorted back to the typical grey Indiana winter. It wasn't quite cold enough for snow, but we did get freezing rain. At least snow would have been pretty for pictures! Instead I was scaping sheets of ice from my windshield.

In Search of a Good Bag

I have been wanting a new purse for a while now and can't seem to find one that I like that isn't over my budget. Who pays $300.00 for a purse? I am too fickle to spend that much on something that will only last a year. These are the 3 I am eyeing right now.



I also need a new dress to wear to J's annual work party at the end of December. Last year, it was below zero for the evening with a very chilling wind chill. Looking at dresses only makes me cold.

It has been forever since I posted a blog on this site... I have been a little better on my feyphotography blog but not that much. I have been contemplating switching to wordpress since I have heard better things about them. Will never switch to typepad- not free! Since I haven't been posting here is a list of fun things rotating in my life:

1: Really want new camera. Eyeing the new Nikon D300 but I am waiting for some reviews- just came out a week ago, and I need a few more $.

2. I dogsat my sister-in-laws puppy this weekend. Sweet as can be. I NOW WANT A DOG! The cats don't feel the same as me.

3. Target is awesome! If you look a bit you can find more environmentally friendly products everywhere. They have organic sheets, recycled gift bags, soy wax candle, Nicole by OPI nail polish (to see rant click here), etc. I am also eyeing this rug but in white ( the white picture didn't show up too well). You also have to imagine a baby crawling on it. Would be an awesome portrait prop.

4. Thanks to my husband we have new tile down in the kitchen. No pictures until the whole room is finished.

5. Have been working more than ever to get a little holiday cash so I have had no time for blogging or thinking. The laundrey will take over the house eventually. Since the tempature was 50 degrees today I did do some holiday shopping.

A Disturbing Trend

Twice today on my daily blog stalking, I came across two disturbing events that have been happening on some of my favorite photographers' blogs. Mean people are effecting their blogging. Susan Stripling has to censor all posts left on her blog due to rude (aka jealous) people and Stacy and Mary are now no longer posting work related pictures due to rude phone calls from clients (mad because a photo they didn't like was posted). The former I really don't understand because when hiring a photographer, you should know what type of images to expect from them. As for posting rude comments, if you don't like- don't look. No one is forcing you to look at the blog. People are weird.

On an unrelated note... look how cute Andy and Chelsea are.

Do We Really Need Trees?

Because they are seriously causing me some allergy pain. Yuck my throat tastes gross and I can't breathe again.

Tired Flowergirls

Weddings are a long day for everyone. These poor girls just needed a nap :(

Also, it doesn't help that some strange lady keeps shoving a camera in your face.
