For Madge

Madge at I-Madge-ine the Twaddle tagged me in this post over on her blog.

It sounded like fun to dig through the ole blog again, so I'm going to give it a shot!

Here are the rules:
1| The blogger who is nominated (me) must publish 7 links of his/her own blog for the categories below. (1 link per category).

2| The blogger then nominates 5-7 bloggers to take part, and (hopefully) it goes on.

7| The Post that I'm most proud of:
 "Something New" | This post I'm proud of less for the blogging part, but more because I accomplished so much in a year, and this is my record of that.

6| The post that didn't get the attention it deserved:
"Christmas Memories" | I even called out my sister and cousin in this post to help me reminisce, and no one said a word. It's still one of my favorites!

5| The most surprising successful post:
 "Mr & Mrs. Jonathan Knight" | again, this is because of what I did, not necessarily the quality of the post. My first wedding I photographed. I am so proud of some of the images I got!

4| The most helpful post:
"Be Still : Treasures" | A little faith insight I still struggle with. But someone had hyperlinked me on her blog because she liked it, so I call it helpful (Hi Margaret!).

3| The most Controversial Post:
"Thoughts of American Pride Persuasion" | This one was really hard for me to write, because I don't normally get up on my political soap box.

2| The Most Popular Post:
 "Chicken Never Stood a Chance" | I don't get a ton of comments on my blog, So I just chose one of Aquaman that made me giggle, since he's my most popular subject on this blog!

1| The most Beautiful Post:
"Surprise for Mothers Day" | Fair warning, if you tear easy - DON'T click that link. It was the day I flew home to surprise my Mom for Mothers Day. I ♥ you Momma.

Now here are the ones who get to play along!
1| Mary at "Letting our Light Shine"
She's a "hang out at home Mom" with her little boy Owen, her posts are very well written and make me smile! we miss you here in Washington Lady!
2| Shelley at "The Sprouffskes - Life on the Farm"
I only met Shelley once in person, but I stop by her blog from time to time to check in on her, she's super nice, and has some great recipes!
3| Margaret at "Go Team Skinny"
This blog makes me laugh out loud quite a bit - she's a busy lady in LA who looks to be having the time of her life !

And those are the only three bloggers I know personally - the rest are photographers or friends of friends, and putting them on here would just kind of be creepy.
Thanks for reminiscing with me!

My Happy Place

I have a lot of happy space in my world - but the happiest of all is Marvista Park in Normandy Park, just a few short miles from my house. It's the one place where I can go, be a kid, and then feel completely refreshed afterwards. Vacation is coming... T minus a few weeks now, and I feel like I've earned the crap out of it this year! But until then, a weekly trip to my happy place with the furry one should do it!  I love his little feet trying to take on the leaves! So cute.

The Wreath

It all started with Pinterest - yes, that rant about Pinterest still stands, but this was inspired from there. I wanted to recreate a wreath of bulbs, I hate buying wreaths since they expire year after year, this one will hang in my home for a LONG time, possibly till I die... that is how much I love how it turned out! So, being my crafty (and somewhat frugal) self, I set off to find the materials to make it. Finding that bulbs are not quite as cheap as you'd expect, I found them for 80% off.  This wreath, at cost would have run me about $125. ACK! I made it for under 35%! So pretty! So pleased! Many have asked me to make one for them - my answer - you buy the bulbs and materials and I'll glue it together!

Thoughts of the American Pride Persuasion

I sat, mesmerized as I watched the “Breaking News” of the past 24 hours – Osama Bin Laden, Dead. What? I can’t really deny my mixed feelings about posting today. I don’t normally jump into the political rings but I can’t deny the HUGE news that swept our nation yesterday. So, this post has been thought out, a lot, typed really slowly, every word, intentional. Which is a huge leap from my normal ramblings of a Monday morning. We were sitting on the couch watching a movie, the movie ended and Eric turned on the news, and we watched, in awe. Just like September 11 th , I’ll always remember where I was when I heard the news. I can’t say I was ready to strap on a flag superhero cape style, and run up and down the street chanting “USA… USA… USA” like hundreds and thousands of other Americans in DC and New York, but then again, I wasn’t near ground zero, in Pennsylvania or at the pentagon the day that Osama Bin Laden became a household name. The American in me wants to be happy and
