Things are happening 'round here.

- I will be guest blogging at Pearls Events ... don't worry Aletha promised to proof read all my posts!
- We bought a new tv. (I would have rather updated my wardrobe but whatever)
- The living room is fully painted in shades of green.
- MyNorth magazine should be out sometime soon - ek! I'll take pictures of the mag spreads!
- Hank no longer has his 'boys'.
- Greg is in town for awhile!

A good compromise? Its quirky, tasteful and a great conversation starter. See the whole line of stickers here.

painting . . .

Whoa! We just finished painting the largest room in the house... the living room!

Halloween!

Snow white with her dwarfs, Dopey and Sleepy.

I wore my shoes from my Dorthy costume. I applied all the sequence myself 2 years ago. They are totally worth wearing again! I took an upclose shot but am to lazy to upload it now...!

Fall

Somehow it seems as though fall has already come and gone... some colors are still here but i think i missed the 'peak'. Greg was gone last week and I think i was feeling to sorry for myself to notice the leaves in full color. bummer. After realizing it was already fall and I had not captured any of it, I reminisced about a Northern Michigan road trip we took a few falls ago

on the road...

at a winery...The wonders of point and shoot cameras with timers, stable rocks and wicked clouds.
Unrelated but fun to post...
Hank and Pixel 'Cuddeling'

Hank's defeated sleeping position after falling from his ottoman perch (which he has done twice now in mid-sleep, yes it is as funny as it sounds)

To Shoot or Not To Shoot???

A trash the dress session (or in the bridal world a TTD).

As many of you know Greg does not like his photo taken. He said no to a couples trash the dress session but he said I could certainly do it by myself. I Love photos and I don't mind having my photo taken... so this is not out of the question. Its photos like these that make me want to trash the dress.

A concept like this is fitting because greg and I love to bike!

Something artistic and over the top...

and then something sexy... ooo la la!

photo via Jen Kroll photography and the model talent is Aletha from Pearls Events.Here's another thought... get all my girl friends together and have everyone (including me) trash a bridesmaids dress that is sitting in the back of the closet. It could be a totally over the top trash too... It doesn't actually matter if you ruin the dress!

Lastly a 'boudoir' photoshoot ... these are some HOT photos... I love this ideas however, the wedding is over and I can't exactly give this as our wedding gift any more. It could be a good valentines gift...

i loveeeee this hot photo.
