I ♥ Danger!

 I have been scouting a new point and shoot camera for quite awhile. It's for those times when you're not purposely taking photos, but you're at an event where you'd like to take A photo that has better resolution than your phone.

I bit the bullet on Friday and bought a new Sony Cybershot. I had it narrowed down between that and a Canon Powershot, when I discovered that the Sony could do this...
 Hello Panorama! When I bought it I thought - Oh that might come in handy for a few shots here and there, but after using it a little bit I kind of want to shoot EVERYTHING in panorama! It was great to hang out with Kat this morning, she graded papers, and I worked on my Series 7. Life is good.

Let's just say... New camera + Roller Derby = Happy!

I somehow caught Megan in the corner of that one... It also shows the President and CEO of my company enjoying the game - It was so fun to hang out with some co-workers and share the passion I have for this game!

Sending healing thoughts and vibes to Megan as she begins what is an uphill battle against a knee injury she sustained this morning. Stay strong lady - and all I can say is, I totally know how you feel.
The Grave Danger pulled out a win from what could be one of the most epic Derby bouts I have ever witnessed! After seeing a double ejection in the Sockit Wench vs: Throttle Rockets bout I totally didn't think I could be more amazed. But alas, Grave Danger surprises me and shows me what derby is really all about! I walked home with a HUGE smile on my face, and some hurt in my hands from cheering so hard - oh yeah, and a new shirt that says I ♥ Danger! I love this sport - I finally know how Eric feels about baseball - I can't get enough, and I want to share it's awesome with the world!
Speaking of awesome, I saw Quadzilla rolling around the track. This man could probably skate better with one wheel than I can with 8. He's amazing. He decided to amaze me even more by jumping over not one, but 3 derbygirls and a photographer - I can't WAIT to see what that shot looks like! 

Thanks co-workers for the night of Awesome, and thank you Danger for a great match up!

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!

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.

Merry Craftmas!!

When I was little Mom had one of these to put out every Christmas. I remember her tossing it out having fixed its hot glue after every warm summer in the shed, she wasn't particularly attached to it but I was. Having collected enough baby food jars (finally) I put it together this weekend! Looks just like I remember it and now it is sitting in my closet awaiting its debut next weekend!
