WW: Is the Sky Half Empty or Half Full?

May 1, 2012 in Uncategorized

Last weekend I had the privilege of attending our 5th annual ladies retreat at a nearby campground. We stay for two nights in a cozy lodge that overlooks a lake. We play games and laugh. We attend bible studies taught by amazing women.

This year it rained. Then it snowed a bit. Then it rained again. I don’t really mind the rain. I was able to practice some photography utilizing the rainy scene. The one you see above was taken with the Instagram app on my phone.

We hoped that it would clear off Saturday afternoon, and it did by the time of the mid-afternoon indoor volleyball game. For the second year in a row I was unable to participate. My ankle is still healing from my recent soccer injury. I couldn’t face Jer or my doctor if I reinjured showing off my amazing volleyball skills. (This last part was said with complete humbleness and humility, of course. Read this post for more on my athletic feats.)

(If you are coming over from Mom Tried It Photo Feedback, the picture below is the one I have chosen to submit. Thanks!)

The next morning it had cleared up. I headed out before breakfast to snap a few after the rain shots.

The lake was still calm and there was a little fog. It was a great end to a relaxing and spiritually uplifting weekend.

New Item: Made-For-You Photo Cards

April 27, 2012 in Photo Cards

My friend Catie recently had her first child and I have been working on a design for her baby announcements. (That is not the real size of her baby. That is my attempt at scaring her before her delivery. Also, that is not her baby. That is our youngest, Kamikaze, when we visited him at the hospital a couple of days after his birth.) A few months ago, I designed a graduation open house invitation.

Now I want to design a unique, personalized invitation or announcement for you!

Have a theme for your baby shower? Let’s design an invitation to match it!
Have a boy who loves hunting? Design a birthday party invitation that reflects his interests!

Don’t have an idea for a design, but you want something unique? I can do that too!

Sunshine. Light. Showers.

I know what you are thinking. We already heard from you today. Isn’t once enough?

Well, I am shaking it up today because I have photos to share for these challenges that I am participating in.

April 6th – Sunshine/Light

The other challenge is through MCP Actions. This weeks prompt was showers/wetness. I had a hard time coming up with something, so here is my attempt.

And finally, some other random photos from our week.

These two crack me up. They are inseparable and they are so similar in some ways, including their bouquet pose!…
