Julie Blackmon

Front Porch

Candy

Time Out

Camptown Races

Birds at Home

Rooster

If you are looking for some cool photography, look up Julie Blackmon and her creative take on the "Jan Steen household" philosophy, the home full of disarray, rowdy children and boisterous family gatherings. Coming from a family of 9 kids with 3 of her own, Julie explores the issues of the domestic in her photographs and captures the reality of everyday life. It was too hard to pick my favorites, so you will have to click over to her website to see more.

.

Lovely wishes to everybody!

Playing on my record today...

I am so busy today! But not for school reasons-- something much better. My new baby niece was born early this morning! Hooray! A new little something to hold, I can't wait :)

.

Anyone looking for new music? I am always on the hunt, and I love Amy Seeley's sound-- right up my music alley.

.

You can listen to a few of her full songs on her website or at YouTube, and if you like what you hear, download her album, Eight Belles on itunes.

.

See you soon!

P.S. Check out Grosgrain for her fabulous patterns-- they are to die for! I am hoping to snag myself this dress. I love the pattern.

Scribble Project

Looking for a little creativity? Wanting a small project that will unleash your artistic mind? Try the Scribble Project. I saw these pages posted around, and I loved the whole idea. I have yet to print my own copy out, but it will definitly be on my weekend to do list.
