I'd better go and pin that one! what a great list....and anything to get that camera moving is always good. (my camera sat for a long time until I did a workshop and the aha moments ever since have been amazing. in the mean time you are focusing on composition anyway and that is never a bad thing)

another pinterest find.... i've been noticing that my camera is definitely not getting lots of use lately....and then it seems i blink and a whole month goes by and i've barely taken any photos. well...that's not entirely true actually. thank goodness for the camera in my phone which has enab...
totally worth it if they make you smile :) and i always say that earrings (and shoes and handbags, etc. etc.) are always fantastic because they fit you know matter what and they don't need to go in the wash! great pic G!

the tree farm was magical..... just magical
A snow shower passed through while we were at the tree farm and turned it into a winter wonderland. The sun was setting and the light was so pretty. Big, fat fluffy flakes were coming down and there was no wind... it was so peaceful and beautiful. :-) Sarah and Ben were looking up to the sky ...

Providence!
Here it is!! Beautiful florals and stripes combined with vibrant, sophisticated tones or orange, green and a hint of blue create the classic palette of Providence. This friendship themed line with coordinating buttons, stickers and chipboard is just what you need for capturing the memories of t...
Well I guess there has to be a positive side to APEC. Happy Birthday to Emily for last weekend - that jumping castle looks like fun and I am glad to hear that 12 year olds still get some fun out of them. Love all those cup cakes and that ice-cream-meringue cake looks great!
Love, P
weekly catchup...
Weeks come... and weeks go.... we've had another busy week here in the Carter family. I've had a few scrapbooking projects which I've been working on. A few have now been posted and on their way to the US to be displayed at Memory Trends. I'll share these when I've been given the all clear! Emil...

National Trust, Science week and daffodils

a quick catch-up
I feel like I've been MIA over the last week. Lots of things, good and sad, have been happening around our house over the last week or so. My girls continue to make me so proud of their achievements and who they are as individuals. So many good things are happening in their lives at the moment. ...
