OK, I didn't win the last contest at I *heart* faces, but I am going to try again this week. This is a photo of my son (SOOC); I could photoshop it to make it pop more, but this is what he looks like so I'm going with it just the way it is. I love this photo, especially his eyes; I hope you do too! At least these contests are getting me to update this neglected blog once a week.
This is my first photo contest entry. The theme is Joy and I have the perfect photo of Evangeline watching her cousin while they were playing in the fall, actually winter, leaves. This is pure joy.
Design Mom is hosting 12 amazing Giveaways on her web-site on December 12th for the 12 Days of Christmas. Go to Design Mom on Friday for your chance to enter 12 separate Giveaways. Design Mom is a great blog you should be reading anyway, I don't know how I lived without it.
Found by a Facebook friend; thought it was pretty funny, so I decided to share here.
I saw this list on someone else's blog and decided to post it on mine. You're supposed to bold the things that you've done in your life. After reading through this list, I realized what an incredibly full life I've had. I never really realized it before, but it was kind of exhilarating to be able to bold so many of these.
