Corner Shelves

There are six little corner shelves in my kitchen. Three on either side of the window ~ above the sink. They've been there for almost eight years. I still haven't figured out what looks good on them. Right now five of the shelves are empty. This is on the sixth.

Elijah

Elijah turned 2 on 1/7/10. We all got together and celebrated that special event today. We don't get to his house very often but we did today! Elijah in his own space is a sight to behold!

Life is Good

It really is.

I have absolutely nothing to complain about.

My family is near and all are safe.

I have food and shelter.

I have so much to be grateful for.

Thank you Lord.

Tossed Aside

Charlotte likes to play with this hat.

When she's finished playing with it, I toss it up on top of the stack of quilts on my chest of drawers ~ until next time.

I'm Excited

I just discovered that my new camera takes photos in sepia and in black & white!
I think that's pretty neat!

Ready & Waiting

We did a remodel on our laundry room in 2009 ~ early in 2009.

You can read about it here, here, here, here, etc.

The remodeling is done but the decorating,

well that's another story.

I have some neat things to add to the room ~ now I just need to take the time to do it!

Inspired Again

I got a new camera for Christmas. At this point I don't know a whole lot about it....except that it's much "better" than my old camera. My husband said so. I will learn why!

This is my new camera.

I thought it might be nice to document my improvement in using this camera. Hopefully I'll improve....but if not I'll have 52 photos to look at a year from now. One photo a week. Someone or something in my home or yard or life that strikes me ~ for whatever reason.

I hope to post the photo on Saturdays or Sundays.

I've been thinking about doing this since I got the camera and was inspired by Toni at Waking Up in Bavaria. She takes amazing photos and shares them on her blog. She decided to start another blog called One Hundred Photos. You can read why she started it here.

I have no real photo taking knowledge ~ point & shoot, that's me! But learning more about it and taking good photos is on my "bucket list". (Yes, daughters, I've started one of those.)

Re: learning more. I think I'll take a look at composition first. Right now all the word says to me is: "How I spent my summer vacation" is a good way to start a composition.
