I'm plugging away at assembling my pages. I'm glad to have a bit more time to work on the pages - even got out my heat gun to do some embossing.

I'm still loving this project and happy that I'm staying "current" with it.

I'd love to know what you are doing to record your holidays &/or what your favorite page of mine is so far - go ahead and leave a comment. (It's not scary)

God Gave Me You

My cousin shared this video on Facebook and I enjoyed it so here it is for you:



Belmont students have come together to send letters and care packages to an adopted military unit as well as produce this video to share our thankfulness to the men and women who serve this country. The video is entirely produced by students.




Also if you have not checked out drawastickman then you should click on over and give it a shot! Super Fun!

updates around here

I've been working on a couple of updates to my blog. I hope that more will come over my holiday break, but for now please enjoy the following:

• Podcasts I'm listening to :: updated on the top right
• Instagram feed :: I mainly share my instagram shots through facebook and the programs built in feed, but I'm glad to have found a plugin for my blog. Instagram is a phone app that allows you to edit photos on the fly and share them. They have many cool photo filters and it is a fun way to document the quick happenings in your life. If you scroll over a photo it should show you my caption. Enjoy!

In other news:

The local deli we love now serves fancy cupcakes!

Maple Bacon & S'more

Thirdly: Thomas and I recently went to an alum event for Hastings College and there we were asked to shot short videos about our "Crimson Connections." If you are interested you can see them here & here.

Good Morning!

This weekend we finally got 2 prints that we bought in Minneapolis framed. We moved both the frames and prints with us but needed to cut the mats to fit. My amazing friend Nicole graciously and professionally cut the mats for our prints. Then a few months later Thomas put the prints in frames (this weekend). We have misplaced one set of the hanging supplies, so hopefully that will appear soon and we can get these hung up when we rotate our art after the holidays.

a shout out to Alison for patiently helping me find a couple of good memory prints over many art shows

December Daily - the past 2 days are a work in progress. Waiting for prints to be picked up and some ephemera to appear.

I'm really loving this project and how my album is turning out (after 4 days). I'm finding that I'm able to document parts of our life that are bigger then the holidays or just December. Capturing specifics from this point in our lives that I believe will be fun to remember in a few years. Some things I hope to record include: what our apartments look like, how we celebrate the holidays as a couple without kids, our routine, and what we eat, watch, listen to, and read.

Here is a work in progress shot from day 4:

December Daily 3

December Daily 1 & 2

Well I've gotten the first 2 days of December Daily done and it feels good to be "up to date" so far. 

day 2

day 1

 I had these photos printed up at Walgreens for quickness and I wasn't very happy with how dark they turned out. 

In other news - the sleet/ice has finally turned to snow which is much more fun and easier to deal with.
