I LOVE white winters. Luckily the sparkly powder has been plentiful this year.

Nothing beats waking up to a world of white.
The excitement on little faces as they discover softly falling snow is enough to make me feel like a child again!

I am so enjoying this project. Saturdays are reserved for family fun & date night!

A late summer session with my beautiful sister Alisia. love her!
She is normally all smiles, but this time I asked for a quieter look. (next time I will let her be her giggly self! : )









It feels so good to be editing again!
Where have I been?
Between computer woes and a large art project, I haven’t been able to sit at my computer for awhile now.
Hoping to share more with you soon!
A happy welcome & hello to 2010!

{a year of Saturdays}

If there is one photo that speaks to me more than the others that I have taken this year, it is this one.
(lucky for me, it was unposed)
It has a down & out feeling that reminds me of economic hard times.
Something we hear about on the news on a daily basis.. something that touches us deeply.
It’s been a particularly challenging year for several reasons, but my hope is that these experiences
are making me stronger, more resilient, a better & more caring human being.
I hold onto hope .. and look forward to a fresh new year!

another favorite..

I bought some vintage newspaper comics off ebay with the idea of taking this picture.
I was looking for an old airstream, but we happened upon this great old house with a red door instead.

It reminds me of a favorite memory… curling up everyday after school with my funnies and a bowl of ice cream!
I grew up without a TV so my memories include newspaper comics over cartoons.

circa 1985
love me some silly piggy tails too!

Poor santa had a tough choice, but was ultimately wooed over by the tasty treats left out for him to enjoy.
Christmas was saved and it was wonderful… holly, jolly & wintery white!

Have a great weekend everyone!



Taking a little break from all the baking, wrapping, & busy activities to wish everyone a {Merry Christmas}!
