My Best Friend.

On this day, 14 years ago, I married my best friend, J. (Seems like just yesterday!)

And, I don’t know how it’s possible but I love him more and more each day! :)

Happy Anniversary, J! Love ya. And thanks for the cupcake, you really do know my heart! Can’t wait to see what the next 14 years will bring! xo

Hugs,

Yum.

Hey you guys! Did you have a good weekend? I sure did! It all started on Friday with dinner at Kerbey Lane Cafe — sloppy joels — yep, joels, ha ha — sweet potato fries and crunchy dill pickles. Yum.

(Photos taken with the instagram iPhone app — love this app so much!)

Then Saturday I got a sketchbook at Michael’s — I’m planning to use it for ideas, would you like to see it as I go along? (My other one is full.) After M’s, J and I went to IKEA where I got some new crafty storage — it’s almost put together, yay! Can’t wait to show you.

I didn’t craft as much as I wanted to, but I did make something that I’m going to share tomorrow. Just have to finish writing it up. (Don’t want to spoil the surprise, but let’s just say it involves jewelry and upcycling.)

It was so great seeing your experiments with ISO, aperture, and shutter speed for the Card Photography Series. Got a bunch of questions from you too — keep them coming, I may not always be able to, but love trying to help! I’m almost caught up on answering them all — I tried to stay off the computer yesterday for Memorial Day. (Have the next tutorial planned out, hoping to do it tomorrow eve.)

And that’s not all! I’m almost ready for another Make-It and Mail-It challenge, too!

Did you have a fun weekend? I’d love to hear!

Hugs,

My little secret.

Yep, that’s a picture of veggies. (Were you expecting donuts? Or cupcakes?)

They’re from the Angel Valley Farm stand that’s just a few miles from our house. Aren’t they pretty? I took the photo to tease my Dad in Ohio (where it was still snowing just a few weeks ago — no fresh rainbow chard for him, ha!)

Plus, I didn’t want ya to think that all I ate were donuts and cupcakes.

So, now that you know my terrible secret, it’s time to announce the random winner of the second-ever Make-It + Mail-It Challenge: Hey Sweets!

It’s….

…

…are you ready?

#11, Isha! Yay! (I emailed you.)

Thanks so much to everyone who entered the challenge — it really made me smile BIG to know that mailboxes around the world would be filling up with those fun cards.

I’ll be announcing another challenge just as soon as I can — have a big work deadline looming right now. (eek!)

Hugs to all, and hope this post made ya laugh a little :)
