It's new years eve...

and guess what I'm doing?  Painting my kitchen cabinets!  I know - it sounds like nothing you'd want to be doing on New Years Eve, but our plans got canceled because Leon is once again sick with a cold and cough (and possibly even another ear infection?).  Oh well.  I'm having fun and our kitchen is starting to look AMAZING.  We still have a lot of work left to do to it.  I'll be sure to post pics as soon as it's all done - it may be another month.  The transformation is going to be unbelievable!  I can't wait to finish the rest.  What all are of you doing this lovely evening?

Well, its the time of year when we all make new goals and our new years resolutions.  I've been thinking about this a lot.  There are a ton of things I need to work on.  There are a ton of things I'd like to do better.  Here are some of the ones I'd really like to work on this year:

1.  Exercise.  I haven't done this in months and months.  I'm starting to feel the conquences of not doing it for months and months too!

2)  Get my current art work up on Esty to sell.  Shoot more art work.  This won't be hard.  It may take some time to get organized but I just got to get my butt in gear and do it.

3)  Love my husband, my baby boy, and the rest of my family more and more.  Show them that Love.  Serve them.  Spend more time with them, especially my dad - because he's just cool and a good dad.

4)  Make my house a HOME.  Get it organized.  Make it beautiful and comfortable.

5) Be more prayerful.  Be more patient.

Mostly, I just want to be a better person than I was the day before - I want to be more compassionate, unselfish, loving, kind, healthier, and happy than I am right now. 

What is your big goal for 2010??? - man, that's kinda weird - 2010!  Happy New Year!

Wishing you a Happy Holiday!

This was our Christmas Greeting we sent out this year made by yours truly.  I truly and sincerely hope you all have a wonderful holiday!  Thanks!  Merry Christmas!

Welcome!

Hey Everyone!  As you may have seen on my photo blog, I'm starting this new personal blog.  There are multiple reasons why I'm doing this.  Most of them are to keep my business and personal life seperate.  As you can see, the name of this blog is called "My Life, My Snapshots".  I'll be doing a lot of postings about my life and what's going on in it, along with my everyday photographs.  I hope you'll get just as much enjoyment and inspiration out of this one as you have my photo blog.  AND I certanily hope you'll still check out my work on my photo blog!  Please feel free to leave comments - I love seeing what you have to write. 

P.S. Don't forget to check out the post below!

Merry Christmas

I'm really loving Christmas this year.  I'm loving the way it is making me feel - giving, festive, loving, thoughtful, grateful.  I love that it is making me want to be the best that I can be.  I love that I'm always walking around singing Christmas carols.  I loved watching Leon's wide eyes as he saw the Christmas tree lights for the first time.  I'm really feeling the true meaning of Christmas and it is a wonderful feeling.  This year, it hasn't been stressful or crazy.  We're keeping it simple but still with all the merriment of years past.

This photograph is my old Grandpa Joe when he was little with his train set on Christmas.  I love it so much.  Doesn't it look like something that would be on a Christmas card?

I hope you are having a wonderful Christmas.  I know it's been said many times, many ways, but Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas to you!
