prizes and collages and an inspiration request

i have been getting a steady stream of treats in the mail ever since i won danielle's amazing giveaway!
these are just a few....
there is one photo of my arms full of packages(see it down there?)
i took it in the mirror as i was walking in from collecting the mail.
i actually took a few.
the first one few looked kinda....relaxed.
for this photo i sucked my stomach in so hard that i may have pulled a muscle...just being honest.
ha!
don't you think it would be funny/shocking to see all the "throw away" photos we take when we are just trying to get one good photo of ourselves?
i'd have A LOT of reeeeallllly ugly photos, wouldn't you?
i have the funniest process of getting a good angel of myself....
i'm a real piece-a-work.

as you can see, i am trying to learn how to make collages on my new computer.
i am trying not to loose my patience and just be ok with not being great at it yet.
i do like to be good at things right away, so it is a....challenge.
i promise to get better.

i am also having a sorta rough time blogging lately (again?)
i just go through weird phases.
sometimes i have no idea what to share.
and sometimes i am overwhelmed with a need to put myself out there.
i need inspiration.
does anyone have any questions for me that i could answer?
or ideas for anything you have been wondering about me?

  2. NICE HAUL! Holy cow you cleaned up! Wish I were involved in that giveaway :)

    Well since I'm new here, there are a lot of things I'd love to find out. But I guess I could go into the archives if really necessary. How did you and Reedo meet (and Reedo, is that a legit name!? What nationality is that!?)

    I might have more... that's all for now.

  5. Hi. You don't know me. I can't remember how I found your blog but your photos and projects are awesome! I know what you mean about blogging phases. I'm right there with ya. Sometimes wanting to say nothing, sometimes probably wanting to say way too much. Anyway, I'm starting a poetry series on my blog - have you ever written a poem? Try it! Or just stop by to check out mine :) But really, you should try it!

  8. This one may be pushing too many buttons (I hope not), but I'm wondering what it's been like raising a daughter without having your momma around. I've still got my mom for now, but I'm nervous about that.

  10. I'm own a flower store and am a mom of two young kids, so it always intruiges me that you were a florist. How long did you work with flowers for? How did you get in to it? What was your favorite thing about being a florist?
    Love your blog :)
