I did some work on this for my family and thought I'd share. (I know it is cheesy, but some times I really enjoy the cheese.) The first one is to fill out, the second one they could draw a picture, do a collage, a hand print. Whatever! Enjoy!

The Month We Almost Bought a House
Well, we would have been nearing our closing date... why not? You may even be surprised that we were going to buy, after all, our house hasn't sold.
The last few weeks has been agonizing! Well, the first part was, but after we made our decision? Smooth sailing!
Here's the long story:
We found a house that we liked. We could buy it. We could rent our house (we had 3 people in line). We made an offer. She accepted. Sounds great, right?
Two weeks later: more opportunities available for the Milk Man= less time all around. And we *might* want some of that down-payment money for business opportunities. We don't want to miss this!
Enter: twisted gut feeling.
Let's review what we know about life: bad feelings= maybe this is not a good idea. In fact, specifically, let's review the lives of the Milk Man and I: bad feelings= ALERT. Sign from God.
But we don't always listen right away? Do we?
We liked the house! Isn't that enough?
But it felt bad. And all the "yeah-but's" on the house started adding up (it had it's fair share of quirks). Do we really want that big of a project? Is it worth the price?
Turns out, no. After we decided to pass the house on to one of the other 2 buyers in line, an overwhelming feeling of peace washed over me. I haven't been happier or more content than I have been the last 2 weeks. What the heck was I thinking? I don't want to own 2 houses! That's not what we want! In fact, it seems like a nightmare to me.
Also: I facebook stalked the people next in line. I know them! I met the woman once years ago and I won't divulge her personal story, but: it's dramatic. She's a really kind and good person and I feel like their family is going to be perfect for that house. Like it was meant to be. (Is that crazy?)
So, we're still trying to sell our house, but with much less pressure. Which is fabulous! Really: we have so much good on the horizon, who could complain?

What Say You, Internets?
Which does your eye prefer? Just out of curiosity.
A little HDR processing?

Bored of It
Well, it's certainly not my style to keep doing something when I'm bored. I got over 100 days in my once a day challenge and I'm bored spit-less. So onward!
I am now going to work on my design skills. Most of what you see here will be experiments. Nothing special, just trying new things. My photos+ my ideas.
I'm going to work with whatever lyrics are in my head that day. So, without further ado:
The Writer, by Ellie Goulding. Love that song!
Will this be once a day? no.

Takin' Care of Business
...and workin' overtime!
Man, it's been a crazy 3 days! Wait, actually 7.
You know when you think that you have everything figured out and then "WHAM", something happens and guess what? You were wrong about your plans?
Well, I've come to the conclusion that those moments can be really good. So what if we don't get what we want? We usually get something BETTER in the end.
So yeeehaw!
Now, back to the grind!

Over One Hundred Days
Have you been wondering where I've been? No?
Well, I've been wondering where I've been. Things have been crazy lately. There are too many things. Too many options. Too many decisions. *sigh* First world problems.
