Guess who has two thumbs, a camera, her own little space on the web and has been awarded the Kreative Blogger Award? That’s right, this girl right here. Can I tell you how excited I am about this? Well, I’m very… I was given the award by Natasha at Houseful of Nicholes. If you haven’t…

Photography Challenge {One in Thirty}

Hmmm… I think I’ll call this one “Monkey Love”. Truth be told, that is the ugliest monkey ever created but I love monkeys, so I had to have him. I merged a picture of Jasmin that I took yesterday with a picture of the monkey that I took this morning to form the picture you…

Miss 17 is Going to The Haven

On Saturday, the hubs and I took Miss 17 for a final tour of Lock Haven University before we drop her off for good.  This was my husband’s first time seeing the campus, so this trip was more for his sake than for my own.  Like I said the first time I wrote about our…
