A bit of a delay

So this blog started out to be a New Year's resolution to help keep in touch with my bestie who is not in the states anymore, but I've come to realize how little time I spent on it lately. Instead, I have been spending more time doing projects than I have been writing about them. In all honesty, that is okay with me. My latest "finished" projects have been curtains for our bedroom! You appreciate them even more when the school that you work at is just across the street. I'm okay with my kiddos seeing seasonal decorations when they look at our windows, but that's where it stops. My second project has been the use of the di-cut machine at work. I make a leaf garland using illustrations from a children's book that I got for pretty much free at the wonderful Emporia Public Library book sale (it's one of my favorite events ever!). Now that Christmas is on its way I'm making a Christmas one using the leftover scrapbook paper from our wedding. I also have one project that is dear to my heart for many reasons. I went out of my photography comfort-zone (yay!) and did engagement photos for our friends. I have been editing them and am proud to say they are done and I am pretty proud of them! I am now officially open to doing portrait photography! Never thought that would happen! I am constantly reminded how much I love using my camera to capture something amazing. The world of art and craftmanship......it's quite lovely! So there it is folks, a microscopic glance at my life.
