Thursday Thought

With super busy times right now, I have to remind myself of quotes like this one.

Life is a challenge - meet it! Life is a song - Sing it! Life is a dream - realize it! Life is a game - play it! Life is love - Enjoy it!

-Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Bab

I tell myself to enjoy the present day and not to wish it away. This is a good way to look at a day if it's going bad.

Wish List

I have been racking up a few things that I want. I can't always get everything that I want so I will just have to stare at these images for awhile until I can have them.


I am currently in Photo 2 at school and carry my camera wherever I go. I still do not have a case for it. It has occurred to me multiple times that I need one. What a more stylin' way to carry a camera. It could also act as my purse. Man how I really want one of these. Just look how cute the inside is too!

And of course, the lovely Polaroid itself. There's not much to say other than I am in love, but not in love with the price of film.

Awhile back, my friend Mollie gave me this book called How to be an Explorer of the World by Keri Smith. I love how creative this lady is and her style. She has come out in the last year or so with these three books. I want all three and they happen to come in a box set! What a great way to show off your creativity!

These are just a few things on my mind.

Halee

Today is this little munchkin's 1st birthday.


I love my little petite Halee. She's such a sweetheart and has quite the personality. Love you Hals!

Happy Labor Day! Since most of us have today off doesn't that mean rest from our labors? Not for me, I have a huge to-do list that consists of me catching up on homework, going out to lunch with some friends that I have promised, and hopefully putting everything together in my apt. It sure does make everything a bit nicer if everything was in order. I know that makes a big difference for me.
I apologize for not taking any photos recently. I don't know what my problem is. Well I best be gettin' ready for the day so I can begin my list of to-do's. I hope you're enjoying your holiday weekend.

Thursday Thought

I have decided every Thursday I am going to post a random thought or quote that I have found and like. This is what I found this week:

That's what I keep telling myself. Who knows what's going to happen in my near future, but that is why I am always going to be prepared.

I hope you have a fantastic weekend. I'm spending my "last" summer weekend at the Lake. What about you?

Weekend Wrap-up

I survived the move! So grateful my very good friend Chris was willing to help me. It made it go by a lot faster. So thank you, Chris. After unpacking all my stuff, my next thing is to decorate. Instead of just doing brown and orange like I have I want to add some color. I love this picture. I am definitely doing something like this in my room and I can't wait to get it done! (if you happen to come across any cool ways to decorate; send it my way)

Have a great week ahead of you! Mine consists of starting school and that's about it.

Cousins

Happy Friday everyone! You know how you just can't wait for the weekend to be here? Well I cannot wait for this one to be over. It's called moving weekend for me. I have a lot to move out of my apt still before I can start cleaning the place. It will be over shortly-I hope. On a happier note here is a layout that I made using American Crafts new lines: Dear Lizzy Enchanted and City Park. There are a few other lines of American Crafts that I used as well. Check out AC's website for the new releases!

(About the photo: Just recently we had the whole Hansen clan home for the weekend so we thought it was the perfect opportunity to take photos. Luckily we were able to use our backyard for the back drop. Unfortunately we weren't able to have a prof. photographer there with us so I ended taking the photos that I wasn't in. I am so glad to capture these three littles together. Oh how they love each other!)

What are you doing for fun on this wonderful weekend?

Carnival Love

Lately I have been drawn to carnival related photos. I am loving these images. They make me so happy! If you know me, then you know that I love color. I'm working on a project that will be carnival-themed. Once I get it all figured out I will share.

Summer time

is about over.

Summer time is definitely Summer loving. I'm sad to say that it's almost over since they are pretty short around here, but I am also excited for change. A lot of changes will be happening my way in the next 2 weeks; moving, new roommates, and of course school starts. I am going to have to kick my butt into gear when all these things take place. I hope everyone is enjoying their last few weeks of Summer.

Hansen Family Photos

We have been in desperate need of a family photo for a long time now. Our photographer was not able to make it up this past weekend so we had to wing it ourselves because this will be the only time we will all be together until who knows when. I hope they look decent.

































Can I just tell you that I love my family!?
