Collecting.

Oh, how I love Pinterest. What better way to avoid doing homework than searching the internet for pretty pictures. Here are a few of my latest 'collections':

Beautiful girls with red hair.




Mommies & their precious little ones.




Black & white photographs.




Don't these pictures just make your heart smile? I hope you have a happy Monday.

Project ThreeSixtyFive: Week Three.

Here are my week three pictures & a little sneak peek at a new dress that will be in Hannah's shop soon.

Project ThreeSixtyFive: Week Two.

I finished my second week of pictures, even with all the stress of subbing in 5th grade and as the school librarian (which is insane by the way- I have so much respect for librarians after this week). So now I think I might actually be able to do this project once school starts.

Disposable.

While spring winter cleaning her house, my mom found this camera for me. It was my dad's and they are letting me "have" it. My mom also found a bunch of expired disposable cameras that only had a few pictures taken on them. My brother made so much fun of me when I took one of them with us to Jackson this past week. "You have six cameras, and you are bringing that one?" Well, yes as a matter of fact I am, and I am very happy with my decision. Even though half the pictures didn't come out at all, the film didn't advance most of the time, and the ones that did turn out have a nice green vignette around then- I loved it.







I especially liked that when I went to pick up the film, the guy told me that none of them turned out & I probably wouldn't want them. It reminded me of my first Holga film experience.

Where The Watermelons Grow.

This weekend my sister's boyfriend, Kevin, asked if I would play photographer and take pictures of him for a Christmas present. His mom has been bugging him for pictures for years, so he finally caved. We took about a million pictures, here are a couple of my favorites (I used the 70s action for these, which I didn't for the ones he is giving his mom- I'm just hooked on it):













{And it wouldn't be a good blog post without at least one picture of me being a nerd}



Okay, okay, I have a confession to make, my sister took the first picture... I am just pretending I took that one. Aren't the birds so pretty?

My Dream Neighborhood.

Someday I want to live somewhere with a view, a dirt road, and an apple orchard down the street. I love Apple Hill, and plan on moving there someday. Okay, I may not actually live in Apple Hill but I at least want to move to Placerville, which is close enough for me. On Sunday Jordan and I drove up there for lunch. We bought a bunch of apples, saw two beautiful wolves, and ate the most delicious pumpkin pie cheesecake in the world. I let myself slide on the whole no eating sugar thing, I just couldn't resist. But honestly, who wouldn't want to live somewhere like this? I think it's magical.













P.S. Only 54 days until Christmas!
