360 challenge……

April 26, 2011

One of my favorite blogs Tracy’s Trinkets and Treasures is doing a 360 degree photo link party… I have been wanted to participate but to be honest with 5 kids and a kitchen model half way done…well there is not 360 degrees around me that is clean.  Well, I bit the bullet so to say and took the photos anyway… someday this will be my favorite room in the house.

You really should go check out her blog, that is if you want to feel really really inspired and like there are just not enough hours in the day :)

So… currently this is the 360 degrees around me….

I guess if the chore chart is upside down it is not really being used huh?

I finally finished most of this corner this weekend…. I am loving each little bit of it.  So many memories held up on these shelves.

Another serious problem area… I love love my old sink (just look around the dirty dishes) but the wall behind and on the side needs something… just not sure what..

Living in a house built in the 1860’s has its advantages and disadvantages….. space is a huge issue, lack of closets… but….

the crown molding is beautiful and the possibilities are endless…..

Some random love…..

Finally the flowers are blooming and the spring rain is here…. o how I love this time of year.  I love the newness it brings, I really only hate the mud :)  We have been working hard on a kitchen overhaul so the blog and the laundry and most everything else has gotten forgotten for a bit… my goal is to catch up on all my sessions over the next week or so.  For now, here is some picture overload of my favorite kind… the kind of photos that really are little memories in my storage bank.  I look at them and can almost *feel* the day and hear the laughter.  They always remind me of why I love what I do so much… being a mom and then being a photographer so that I can capture all of this.

May should bring some exciting changes, a mini session announcement and a surprise for seniors!!!!!  Come on Spring!!!!
