A Weekend with the Girls...

I am blessed. Blessed to have a husband who, VERY bravely, took on both girls for an entire weekend so I could take a girls weekend with my mom, my best friend, Janel, and HER mom, Cheryl, to Seattle.

We spent Saturday and Sunday shopping, eating, meeting up with family and old friends, and enjoying some much needed peace and quiet!

My favorite part of Seattle is ALWAYS the market! We took my mom to the first Starbucks EVER! Our coffee (and tea) lovin' minds were blown :-) The flowers and produce were beautiful as always. LOTS of tulips this time of year. And some amazing daffodils. I love daffs. One of my all time favorite flowers :-)

Lots of fun. Lots of giggling. Lots of wine (for some of us, anyway!)

I cant wait to do it all again!

Here are a few photo highlights:

Wordless Wednesday...Time to get ORGANIZED!

Im going to start a new "thang" on Wednesdays that I've seen on other blogs, and I enjoy it. I even look forward to it! Its "Wordless Wednesday!" Each Wednesday (that I remember, LOL!) I will post a picture or 2 having to do with what is going on in our lives at the time.

I have had my new desk down in my "studio" now for 2 weeks. Time to get it all organized! So during nap time today, I will be in my ((COLD)) basement, organizing, setting up my heaters, and creating a lovely studio to call my own! HURRAY!!!

In the weeks to come, Tiny Belles Boutique has our first tutu birthday party, a tutu/jewelry photo shoot with Stillpoint Photography, our website is in the hands of an AMAZING and capable designer, Becky Wilberding, and, on top of all that, I am helping throw my dear friend Marie a baby shower, and preparing for Gracie Pies FIRST BIRTHDAY!! (which, of course, is coming with all kinds of fun new product ideas!)

Well, this was hardly a "Wordless" post, was it? ;-)

Happy Wednesday, Everyone!

Hello Bandwagon!

One of my ((many)) goals ((NOT RESOLUTIONS!!)) for 2010 is to take more pictures. In fact, I am even trying my hand at Project 365 this year! (Hello, bandwagon! Im here!!) I want to improve my photography skills. I've gotten a few books, and have really been enjoying playing with my camera.

I've been following the I ♥ Faces Blog now for awhile. And every week, they have challenges.

This photo of my Gracie pie from last summer. I love her sleepy face. LOVE IT!!! It is also my official first entry in any I ♥ Faces Challenge!!

My Favorite Pics of 2009

I had originally thought of posting a "Year in Review" blog, but that is mentally and physically exhausting, so here are my favorite pictures of the year!

More to come later this weekend! :-)
