Since having my new camera and being in Minnesota, I decided to do a fun photoshoot of my sisters. I think they look gorgeous but I’m still in the process of learning my new camera settings. We took the pictures at an old mansion in Rochester, MN known as the Plummer House (click on the picture to view it larger). Where are some cool spots you like to take pictures at??

I got a new camera!! It’s the Canon Rebel t1i! I’m so excited about this camera but first I have to learn how to use it! If anyone out there has it or one similar, any advice would be great! Here’s a photo I snapped of my nephew, Will (click on the image to view it larger). Come back soon to see some pics of my sisters!

The best gifts many times go unnoticed. This past week was my 26th birthday and I was blessed through a young boy and a few scribbles of color.
Going back to a few days before my 13th birthday I remember feeling depressed, worn down, and disappointed in myself. I had had a rough couple months and was not looking forward to celebrating. However, God knew a fresh start was around the corner. As my family prepared my birthday cake and presents I glanced out the kitchen window and saw a beautiful rainbow painted across the sky. Immediately it brightened my day.
Rainbows kept flooding my way throughout the day from rainbows printed on birthday cards to a rainbow colored birthday cake and even a small metal rainbow attached to a ring. These images were not planned but rather an encouraging coincidence. From that day on, I knew God had a great year in store for me.
Thirteen years later, I was reminded again of His amazing love and promises. This birthday God sent my rainbow in a different medium. As strange as it sounds, in the midst of telling my 13th birthday experience to friends at my birthday dinner, I realized what my friend Ashley had presented my gift in 15 minutes prior. It was a craft bag with a rainbow hand drawn by a young boy named Spencer.
This random rainbow that God sent my way brought back reminders of His immanent and personal nature. He longs for a relationship with me and chooses to reveal His beauty because He is a loving, encouraging, and comforting God. And by the way how cool is it that this time the rainbow came through art!

Sorry I haven’t posted in a couple days! I am in Minnesota (my home state) visiting family and friends. I’m excited for this week and have some fun projects and blog posts planned.
This headband I made specifically for a friend. Hopefully she will like it! The match to the vintage earring was used in my last headband. So here’s my question today: What was something special you made for someone else??

Oops, I don’t think you are supposed to buy things for yourself right before your birthday but this time I couldn’t resist! My friend Jenna invited me to a showing of a vendor that sells all sorts of jewelry, gems, and stones for wholesale prices! That means cheap! If you want to find precious gems and stones – Tucson is your place to be.
Here are some of my finds. All of this is sterling silver and authentic stones and I got all of it for about $50. Favorites?
