Summer Frills

I am quite late in sharing this very exciting news...

my work was published in this Summer's Altered Couture

- a Stampinton and Co. Magazine!

As I love fashion it seems fitting in some ways

that this would be my first appearance in a publication

yet I don't sew a lick and this has pretty much been my one and only

altered fashion experiment

I did find it amusing that they "altered" my piece

by taking the ribbons off the brooch

I wonder why? hmmmm

It was a very unreal and exciting honor for me

and I hope it will be just the first of many ^^

So now that Summer is finally here

I am excited to adventure outdoors and find great places

to photograph my Project Dress Up looks

I'm working on a collection of photo-shoots at the moment to showcase

my Yoyo Headbands

I was lucky enough to have two photographers for this shoot

but in a matter of 5 minutes I was eaten alive by mosquitoes

this shot was accidental - I was either itching or slapping at a pesky squeter

I'm not sure if I was ill that night from the bites or my dinner

but either way it was quite unpleasant :(

These were taken at the Black Canyon Dam

would be such a pretty place to have a wedding

Yesterday was our 3rd Anniversary!

Unfortunately Jim was off on a business trip

I was just reflecting this morning on how much I love our new life in Idaho

It's been such a good change for both Jim and I

My anxiety is so much better

and Jim is - well he is so much more the young man I fell in love

with almost 7 years ago

City life was just not for us

nor was all the rain!

I hope you all have the courage to follow your hearts

if you feel like you just don't belong where you are

(*-*)

P.S. My blog may or may not be under a bit of construction in the days to follow
