InstaFriday

Sadly this is the only regular post that's been happening. I do love my iPhone and take a ton more "life" photos because of it.



The incredibly flexible girl.


The Lorax in chalk.


Chalk.


And more chalk. Hers reads: I think about Skipper.


Impromptu tea party.


Soccer via some fun Instagram filters.


Reading in bed with her pooch at her side.

Insta Friday 3.23

This week's installment of InstaFriday...all photos are from the phone. Dig it! Join in at Life ReArranged.
 Cool building in Pigeon Forge, TN and the beautiful scenery leading in to old Gatlinburg.

 Dave's 91 year old grandmother. My three waltzing into the Hillybilly Golf. We are classy. That is all.

Super projects that the kids each made this week. A space shuttle and a Lorax rocket.
 A creative shot of the four of us with our golf balls and clubs.
 
 My girl and her creation.
And a Santa Claus parade, on St. Patrick's Day in Gatlinburg, TN. File this under: now that's something you don't see everyday! Pin It

another project life *ish page

Really and truly loving the design of these pages and filling up the spaces with goodies, words and photos.


This is the first non-monthly layout summary page for my 2012 book and it is about ME!! The idea of clipping my photo across four openings here is one I have seen done several times on the internet and I loved it too much not to copy. And it did not take me too terribly long to accomplish this in PhotoShop. Leave a comment if someone needs specifics. Here is one of the layouts that inspired that:

Pinned It, Made It: Afghan

This is one of those Pinterest pins that leads to nowhere specific so...all I know is that Lion Brand yarn somehow deserves credit. When I pinned this, I shared it with my Mom because I don't know how to crochet. Cannot.do.it.

Today we celebrated our birthdays and she gave me this...
 (photo snapped by Shelby with my iphone into direct sunlight)

I'd snap a better photo of it now but it's already gone through the washer and is in the dryer! What you cannot see is the blue is really a perfect shade of turquoise and along with the beige and cream are yellow blocks too. It is so lovely. Totally a modern take on an afghan. I cannot wait to display and it use it in our family room. I have been wanting to add some touches of aqua and this will get me off to the start I need. I am already considering painting my lamps blue!

Thank you Mom. I love you and Happy Birthday to you too.
