52 Week Project: Week 8

The theme for week 8 was: "The View From Here." Immediately I thought of going outside. Unfortunately, we didn't have too many nice days. As soon as a 70 degree day arrived we ran outside to play!!!

After school, our next door neighbors came over to play!

I love how good the girls next door are with my 2 kiddos. It's truly like having big sisters for them!!! There's not much better than looking out my front door and seeing a bunch of happy kids playing outside, learning and having fun!!! It makes my heart happy =)

Next week's theme is: "Express Yourself!"

52 Week Project: Week 7

The theme for MCP's 52 Week Project Week 7 is: Open Your Heart.


Oye. A toughie. It took me a while to think of what to photograph, even what "open your heart" means. MCP is really making me think! LOL!





So finally, it came to me. Open Your Heart To Change. Yep, I know a lot about change. When you are a part of a military family change comes with the territory. Here is my photo:








Open Your Heart To Change. All the places I've lived. (Well, New Mexico is a stretch...Adam lived there while we've been together and I visited often ;)


A map of all the times my life has totally changed and I've had to open my heart to a new adventure.



I encourage you to join this 52 week project! Next week's theme is: The View From Here.

52 Week Project: Week 6

Phew, I lucked out with the theme for MCP's 52 week project this week. The week 6 theme was: Words. Well, one of Ashley's Scavenger Hunt Sunday items was "quote." Awesome, time to double dip!!!

Here is my quote/words for this week:

This is on my master bedroom wall. I nice reminder every day to make that day count!!!

Have a wonderful Wednesday everyone!!

52 Week Project- Week 5

This week's theme for MCP's 52 week project is: Muse. After looking it up, the most basic definition is "inspiration."

So here is my muse - or - inspiration:

My family. The little man was sleeping but here is a sweet moment between the other members of my family. =)

I'm also including this as my Before/After picture for the blog hop at Pixel Perfect.

SOOC:

Edit:

I don't exactly remember my editing process for this image. (I'm going a little crazy staying inside during this snow storm) Of course it went through LR3 and PSE7, with a Florabella Luxe action I believe. Oh, that reminds me. Florabella just released their Luxe II action set yesterday! The Before/Afters are beautiful!!!! Its currently only available for the full version of Photoshop (CS5, etc) but the Elements version is already in the works. I can't wait to get my hands on those actions! Fun, fun fun!

Hope you're doing well where ever you are! At least we still have power here in OK!!!

52 Week Project- Week 4

I've decided to officially participate in MCP's 52 week challenge =) You can join anytime so get cracking!!!

Somehow I missed a week. So week 4's theme is: "Soothing Repetition." Hm....interesting. I took a look around MCP's blog, FB page and Official Flickr Group to get a better understanding as to how people were interpreting this theme. Then it came to me. (After considering photographing a group of wine bottles....soothing to me!) My son's pacifier is incredibly soothing to him =) When I looked in the drawer I saw the perfect amount of blue and green pacis. Awesome!

Here is my photo, enjoy!

Soothing Repetition.

If you're interested in participating with this 52 week project Week 5's suggested theme is: Muse.

52 Week Project- Week 3!

The theme this week was 'Winter.' I was trying to think out of the box on this. As my 'box' is always people. =) So, I stepped outside my front door and it hit me, the trees! All the trees in my front yard are totally bare. Definitely winter!!

I also wanted to step out of my 'editing box' on this image too. So here it is!

WINTER!

52 Week Project- Week 2

Okay, I'm behind on this week. Already!?!?!? But the theme for "last" week is Birthday. (as it was Dana's birthday that week! Happy birthday!)



We celebrated my daughter's 3rd birthday in December, but luckily we've had this sign from her birthday up on our front door for quite some time ;)





We had a great time at her totally princess party!

BTW: I got this great sign and other princess printable from Amy @ Living Locurto.





Hope you're having a great week!

52 Week Project- Week 1

This is the first week of a 52 week photography project over at Dana's Blog.

This week's theme is: NEW

There are so many new things at our home now, thanks to Christmas and 2 birthdays! But my daughter's 2 new loves are: horses and the movie Cars. So when she started playing with them together I had to grab my camera!

The new things at my house!

Head on over to Dana's blog to play along...you're not too late, it's only the first week of the year!
