love & lovelys

dear heavens me...
i would like to apologize for my utter disappearance into blogging nothingness.  my only excuses: school and simple procrastination.


so here are a few things to fill the space.




things i'm loving


#1


oook so i was a bit disheartened that Picnik is disappearing until... i found Pixlr
Pixlr is ahh-mazing.  it's like automatic photoshop! you can take a simple picture and turn it into etherial with a few clicks.  i took this one...




















and turned it into
this one...


amazing right?!?!


#2
more love...

 amid my procrastination, i found this darling, charming, and happy blog: Apple Blue
aaaaand not only is this blog fab-u-los, she is having an amazing giveaway!  An adorable wallet, fabric, darling headband from Sunshine and Carousels (their stuff is supper amazing cute), not to mention the sweet robin-egg blue vintage kitchen timer.



#3
my new camera

unfortunately i don't have a picture of me with my new camera but Cammie is tried and true and fabulous.  i bought her from my sister who is a photographer because she upgraded to a better camera.   i love using Cammie, a Canon Xti.. fabulous...  the bridal pictures below i shot with Cammie on a joint bridal shoot i did with my sister.

#4
tarzan

the original movie. the silent one. the first time around.
now this is interesting because i am not exactly a Tarzan fan.. as in  i saw the animated version like 2 time and the old black and white once.. long time ago.  but then i found out that weekend after next there is a tarzan festival in honor of the anniversary of the original film because it was filed here in Louisiana!  and the Shreveport Symphony concert master and local branch of NPR classical radio host wrote a score for the film especially in honor of this anniversary celebration...
i'm suddenly excited about tarzan...
which is strange... i was always weirded out by his oddly large toes in the cartoon version.



#5
literacy!

Rock the Drop!
in honor of Support Teen Literacy Day gather up any books you don't want, or ones you want to share and on 4/12, a thursday, deposit them in public places to be picked up and enjoyed by a curious mind.



grab this here image, print it out, and affix it to the cover and spread the love of literature!



lovely things
brides


a certain ms. Katie Daisy has a shop on Etsy call The Wheatfield and it is filled to the brim with lovely water colors of lovely sayings and images.  such as this sweet reminder that we are special, beautiful, and loved.


also lovely... these are some of my favorites from the shoot i did with my sister.  i tossed them into Pixlr, tossed them around a bit and hey, got some pretty decent edits :) 


 








so many lovely things fill my lovely, yet busy, life!

love you all...
