Bring on the green beer!

I can't believe it's already St. Patrick's Day again. How is time going this fast? So scary. Well, here is my accessory of the year! Have a pinch free day!

Gotta love the Guinness Fedora...

A Christmas Wish.

This is the first year that my grandmother is not with us to celebrate Christmas. I look back on all of the memories we have with her and know that she is looking down on us from heaven. She is here in spirit, and this season may everyone take a moment to realize life's great treasures.

Merry Christmas to all! This is one of my most favorite ornaments. An angel holding the Eiffel Tower. Not only do I love the design of it, it brings back memories of a wonderful European experience. I think I will start collecting ornaments from different places. What a festive tree I will have of my own one day!

A New "Age"

My baby sister turned 21 last weekend. All kinds of fun things were planned...and to finish the birthday weekend off, a night of Hard Summer. Oh wait, they shut it down. Fail. Anyways, excited that my baby sis is now 21! Love her to death, but sorry she didn't have as good of a 21st celebration as I thought she would :( ...I will be making it up to her because I am such a good sister!

A nice Cali sunset to top off the evening...

Happy Father's Day!

Today is a day to recognize a very important man in my life. I love you dad.

Father's Day dessert...7 layer bars.

The hummingbirds hatched! I'm sure they have one happy dad.

Hoppy Easter!

Today is another glorious holiday. Celebrating Jesus rising from the dead, drinking champagne, eating delicious food, watching the Master's golf tournament, and spending time with family. As I have done in the past, I photographed our home Easter decor. For some reason I find interest in shooting stuff like this.

Easter basket!

Specialty drink of the day.

By the way, have you ever noticed how different the shape of an egg is? I wish everyone a blessed and Happy Easter! Chicago on Wednesday! Awesome.

Spring Weddings...

Shot a wedding last weekend. First spring wedding this year! Tis the season for marriage and new life. Photos shall be up soon.

Easter weekend coming right up everyone. One week until Chicago! Happy Wednesday. Tomorrow my weekend begins. I apologize for slacking. Too much working during the week! I will have some things posted after this week and of course photos from Chicago after my week adventures! Good thing I have my 8 gig mem card!

Google is my Fave

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Oh Google, how you are truly loved by all. My favorite part of this search engine is how festive this logo can get during the holidays.

Don't forget to wear your green and have an Irish Car Bomb, or two, or three.

Sprinkles Cupcakes!

Today I took my first trip to Sprinkles. Talk about branding. It's pretty amazing. Love it all from the presentation of the shop to the fun dot on the "i" which right now is a clover, how appropriate! Who would have thought cupcakes would be the dessert. Forget ice cream!

Since it is almost St. Patrick's Day they had two special flavors which I was very much wanting to experience, Irish Chocolate and Green Velvet! Pretty tasty, I must admit.

Hopefully this has convinced you to take a little trip over to Scottsdale Road and Camelback to experience it for yourself.

Excitement! and Green...

There are a lot of things going on in my life within the next couple months. My first friend to get married will have her wedding on Saturday, the Rascal Flatts concert is next week which I won 4 free tickets to, St. Patrick's Day is just around the corner, the Lenten season is now which means Easter will soon be here, and then my trip to Chicago in the middle of April! I just today booked my flight. I have never been to Chicago, but soon enough I will be able to say that I had the pleasure of touring the city for an entire week! Two Chicago locals who are my dear friends will most likely show me an incredible time. One of their birthday celebrations will be during that weekend as well. All of us LMU girls will be sure to get a little wild because, well, it's just expected.

In the meantime, I will continue on my job hunt in hopes that things will fall into place. Speaking of jobs, I could soon have a small part time job doing some golf tournament photography. I think that could be a great start in the sporting world! We shall see what ends up working out.

Now for something visual...my photog for the day consists of a green obsession. What can I say, I just love this color! You could say I'm a green freak, but not really in the sense of how the economy uses the word "green". And no, I am not a tree-hugger. And yes money is green, which I do like, but that's not why I obsess over this color. There is just something attractive about the color that turns me on. Bathing suit, mouse pad, headband, flip flops, bracelets, business card holder, scarves, cup, all green! Love it. You can be sure that when I get married this color will very much be involved in the scheme of things.

Speaking of green, I will surely be ready for St. Paddy's Day! Happy Hump Day!

Happy Mardi Gras!

I uncovered an ancient mask and some Mardi Gras beads for tonight's crazy celebration! Find your purple, green, and gold! Last hoorah before Lent begins. ;)

Happy New Year!

I am a huge dummy. It is 2009...and I have yet to dedicate a post to the New Year! Unfortunately I didn't get any really awesome photography on New Years. Probably a good thing that I didn't in fear that my camera could have been ruined! So here we have it...2009.

I can sense a good year. Maybe not so much for the economy or the new president, but for creativity and exciting challenges. There will also be many firsts and certainly not lasts, which you will experience in my blog throughout the year.

Some things I hope to do this year...
1. STOP biting my nails...shesh how old am I?
2. Try much harder to have some fun photos to post everyday, if not everyday almost everyday.
3. Include more design as well as well as create more stationery to put in my blog.
4. Design a few wedding albums as samples for Bowser.
5. I really need to start working out again. Now that it has been almost an entire year that I have taken off after 8 fabulous years of competitive swimming, it is time to get the booty in shape again! I think I need to make some goals, or find something to train for. That usually seems to help.
6. Another thing, I MUST make more of an effort to learn flash/HTML so that I know how to use it more efficiently.
7. And then I can make myself a flashy new website! Which will have a link to my blog and photo gallery! Yesssss!

Alright well that's all that I can think of at the moment. I'm sure this list could go on and on, but maybe I will save it for Lent! :)
