Egg Hunt prints!

Secret project revealed!

Set of 12 4x6 prints, one of each egg, up in my Etsy Shop here.

Secret Project!

It's not ready for a reveal yet but I have been working on a special secret project the past few days. Once I am all ready to show you what it is, I will post it here. 

Fingers crossed that I am able to catch up on posting the 365 stuff as well.

I'm Alive! [and Links!]

I'm still alive, don't worry! I have been going from one thing to the next for days on end. I had a paper due, then I had to finish my Graphic Design and Visual Art assignments. And on Friday I had an interview at Michael's in the Frameshop (won't know if I got it until Monday or Tuesday). Why must college eat me alove sometimes?

Right now I'm working on a special project that you will be very excited for!

But while you are waiting for me to get my butt back on track, you could go take a peek in my Etsy Shop! There are only 2 prints up as of this posting, and I hope to get more up in the next few days as my time gets freed up.

If you want to keep up with what I'm doing, "Like" my page on Facebook, or follow me on Twitter.

Back Bones - Day 74

DAy 74: Back Bones

In the field, there are a lot of ravines.

There was a collection of cow bones spread out in one ravine/valley.

Wouldn't recommend you try to drive this...

The front of the old bug.

Really like this!

I wasn't trying to have the dog do this, but he decided he would get in my shot and sniff the sunflowers. =]

Day 60: Bubble Travel

Bubble: an orb of soap. Travel: to move about from place to place.

Back in August, I helped a friend do another friend's senior pictures. There was bubble stuff in a car and that became a prop/environmental feature. I was trying to catch a bubble in a photo, and only manage to get a couple. I like this one the most myself. Sadly it isn't in focus.

Special Treat - Day 59

Day 59: Special Treat

Actually arrived on day 58 of my 365 project.

Back in December, I donated $25 to the Save the Children fund during the Project for Awesome. The particular charity I choose was the one that Maureen Johnson was doing. The winnable prize was an ARC*  of her newest book, The Last Little Blue Envelope**. Guess who won one?! ME!

Upon its arrival, there was much joy, a little jumping around, a bit of squeaking and much, MUCH happiness.

I have never had anything personally signed to me. And the cool part was that it was hand addressed, to me, by MJ. One of my favorite authors has my address. Kinda, really awesomely cool. =D

 

*Advanced Reader Copy, bookstores usually get them for employees to read or they are for people to write reviews on.

**Sequel to my favorite of hers, 13 Little Blue Envelopes

Day 37: Hidden Agenda

Hidden: inconspicuous, non-obvious. Agenda: schedule, plan, idea, to do list.

The large flake is what I meant to capture. The funny, "bad" flake was not even noticed until viewing of photos later.

See if you can find the "bad" flake. He's pretty small, so you might have to click on the picture to view it larger. Let me know what it is that the flake looks like. I thought it was pretty funny.

Mom, you know where it is, no cheating!

You were so eager to see today's photo you didn't even notice the new header up top, did you? I'm kidding, of course you saw it! I decided I needed some sort of update, and that happily only took about 5 minutes.

Bonus photos!

Here is what I made for the drama department as a good luck charm for their performance at the state one act competition. They perform at 11:45 am on Friday in Brandon Valley, SD. Break a Leg SHS S.T.A.R.S.!

I wrote a little note to accompany the jar of 100 lucky stars.

"Dear Alice Ensemble,
You are probably wondering what exactly this is all about, right? Well, what you hold in your hand is a jar of 100 lucky stars. They will help to guide you and remind you of all the hard work you have done to get to this point.

As I made each star, I remembered many things about my own experiences at state competition. I remembered being stressed out during hell week and nervous during the competition performance. But I also remembered all the enjoyable, fun times I had as well. Remember those good and bad times, and treasure them. You may not realize it, but you have learned a great deal in the past weeks.

Take a look around you. These people are not only your friends, they are your family. Some you have known for a while, others you met when rehearsals started. If you think about it, it’s amazing how different your life is with just one new person in it.
Teamwork divides the task and multiplies the success. -Author Unknown

-Author Unknown

You are telling a story with every movement, every sound, and every word. Everyone, on and off the stage are telling a story. So:

Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end: then stop.

Much love,
