i am a little obsessed with ali edwards right now. jen & i met her back in november and she just seemed so cool. i really want her scrapbook room too! or even A scrapbook room.

happy days...

i think that my 366 project is helping me notice things in my life that make me happy, things that maybe i've taken for granted. it's been great.
at the end of each day trying to decide which picture to use has been really fun. i wondered when i first started if i'd actually be able to find things to take pictures of (in my semi boring life) and 15 days in i am already finding i look at everything with more interest.

i have made 2 project rules for myself...
1. i MUST be the person who took the picture-shoulde be easy enough
2. no FLASH-i am trying to learn to take and enjoy pictures taken without a flash, even if they come out a little fuzzy.

fun times ahead...

i got this fun new tripod in the mail today. i've wanted one for a while and had a few amazon.com gift cards from christmas so i put them to good use. i decided to do a 365 (366 this year) picture challenge this year and i think my gorillapod will come in very handy and hopefully help make some fun pictures!

happy new year...

i loved this movie. it was funny, sweet, painful and seriously touching.
i also LOVED the soundtrack, it's definitely getting downloaded from iTunes.

hope you had a very merry christmas

ours was wonderful!

am i the grinch...

i was beginning to worry that i had turned into the grinch. i seriously was lacking in christmas spirit these past few weeks. i am sure it's because jason was gone for most of the month. i know he often travels for work and he's even been gone near christmas before but i think this was different because we got less than a days notice that he was leaving AND we hadn't put up our holiday decorations or our tree before he left. it helped doing some of our usual things, like decorating cookies with amy, rach and their families and watching the girls make their gingerbread houses. but i completely found my christmas spirit when i found out YESTERDAY that jas would be home today. i probably should be cleaning and making the house nice for him instead of blogging, but hey when you feel it you've got to let it out!

happy holidays!
