Pictures finally here: Cannon Beach

I know, it's been a month! But the wait's over. Here are the pics!

Another fave that I want to share

Seems to be the week for posting, eh? Tonight I'd like to share a favorite blog that I frequent: Shorpy I think my grandma's sure to get a kick out of this image feast! It's a photoblog of old-time images; black & white as well as a few very stunning color ones. I love admiring the details hidden within the image that give you a taste of realism and fantasy. Just plain fun to browse through.

Here's my fave so far: It's called Lady in the Water Pretty clever!
Another fave: I forgot it's title I don't see ONE amused child in this picture. Do you? :D

Presto!

I love the short films Pixar produces before each of their films. Presto is no exception! It's freakin' hilarious! I laughed so hard that I had tears in my eyes!

Check it out!

Presto!

It's got to be one of their best yet...

Window Shopping

Hey! Just a little post to confess my addiction to etsy. I love window shopping on etsy! I haven't actually purchased anything but I love the creativity that flows when I'm browsing talented shops.

Here's a link to my favorite items and sellers: Etsy Faves

You'll probably notice that I'm a big fan of purses. And art.

I don't know if this happens to everyone that gets sucked into the etsy world, but I always come away with an itch to create something!!

Also, I just noticed I've been on etsy for over a year now with no purchases made. I've GOT to remedy that soon.

Just because everyone else is doing it...doesn't mean you have to do it too

Seriously! I saw this article Newsweek online The Case Against Crocs and I'm relieved to know I'm not the only one sick of these.
Here's a website utterly devoted to the bashing of crocs... (only because it was listed in the article)
http://ihatecrocsblog.blogspot.com/

And of course, I LOL'd when I read this:
"I like to play a game with my son, Joseph. We sit on a bench in touristy Old Town, Alexandria, Va., and we're not allowed to get up until we see a dozen pairs of Crocs. It usually doesn't take long. But the other day we were stuck at eight after a few minutes, and I was getting a little concerned. Just then my boy leaned over and said, "Don't worry, Dad. A family of dorks will come along any minute." To paraphrase Hank Hill, if he wasn't my son, I would have hugged him right then, I was so proud."

I think I rest my case.

Entry: very capricious

I thought that for the sake of blogging, I'd grant the world a glimpse into my head. Yep; watch out!

My first beef is with crocs. Mike knows how much I hate them. For no reason other than their sheer ugliness (and my stubborness). I already settled the issue of owning them back when I first laid eyes on them: it was NEVER. I will not purchase crocs for Jamie. I see them everywhere! Fred Meyer, Target, Wal-Mart, even Old Navy are carrying a rainbow assortment of these god-awful trendsetters. The fad seems to have drifted it's ugly way to Europe as well. Bleh. That's how I feel about crocs. Mike has permission to throw me out of the house if I ever come home sporting these on my feet (or Jamie's). The only exception would be when I reach the delicate age of 99. Yep, I hate crocs.


But on the bright side of the sheer erratic posting... I like having red hair. A co-worker respectfully shared his opinion that I resemble a superhero. Normally, this would be a bad thing! Perhaps it's my funny personality that likes to go opposite of what's normal, I dunno? I was never popular in High school :) But I like to call my red Fruit Punch. It's quite an accident that it wasn't as deep red as I was hoping. Instead, it turned an interesting shade of reddish pink with some orange highlights. Horrified yet? It actually doesn't look bad. However, as soon as we get a few bills paid this month, I'll be headed to the salon to give it more red saturation. I'll post a picture tomorrow so you can truly see how fruity my hair is. In a good fruity way.
Ok, photo:


And lastly, Friday is the big event at the bookstore for Stephanie Meyer's 4th installment of the Twilight series; Breaking Dawn. I've read the series and I read her Sci-Fi for adults called The Host. A word of advice; definitely not a guys' read. Unless you like to read chapter upon chapter of teenage girl angst and unrequited love for a hot vampire. The good news is; it's full of sound morals. Weird isn't it?

That's all for tonight, have a great week!

One down...one more to go!

I just finished Samantha and Brandon's wedding album...

Here's a link to view previews: The Wedding

I would love to know what everyone thinks! Also contributing to the images inside the album is Peter Serko, totally talented and taught me a lot.

Once I get the images from Emma, I'll be starting Shawnta and Ronald (Dee)'s album. It's going to be a long few weeks. lol :)
