M4H Weeks 3 - 6, Playing Catch Up!

It's been a little while since I've posted.... life has been full!

Here are my submissions for weeks 3 - 6 for M4H 52 Challenge. You can find the group on Flickr.com

Week 6 - Emotion

Week 5 - Simplicity

Week 4 - Imperfection

Week 3 - Inspiration

Thinking of a shot for each weekly theme has been a true challenge.

I sometimes wish she'd request something like 'child with pet',  that would be soooo easy!

I have enjoyed the challenge though and am blown away by some of the submissions entered.



Week 2 / 52

This is my submission for M4H 52, week 2.

Our old doggie, Scotty, became suddenly sick 1 1/2 wks ago, I think he had a stroke.  I took this shot of our new puppy, Bear, sitting by Scotty.  Bear new Scotty was sick, and just wanted to stay with him.

It's not a great shot, technical-wise, but it captured a bittersweet moment in our 'life' last week.

Amazing Canon 5D Mark II Give-A-Way!

You've got to go to

http://www.myfourlittlehensphotography.com/ and check out Sarah's

Give-a-Way!

A Canon 5D Mark II.... woot woot!

A full-framed camera.... what would I do with it? I'd find a give-a-way for a good L series lens and win that too, and go to town with both items, lol!

I have really enjoyed

http://www.myfourlittlehensphotography.com/ ,

it's a great place to hang out. I like her style of shooting as well as her personality. I love when you stumble upon blogs/sites written by people that you JUST know you'd be buddies with if you ended up in the same town.

And I love her reason for doing the Give-A-Way. What a testimony!

I sure do hope I win, but hey, even if I don't, I'll be ok ;-)

New Photography Challenge

I joined a new photography challenge group this week.

It's sponsored by Sarah at

My Four Little Hens Photography

(www.myfourlittlehensphotography.com/photographers)

She has a group on Flickr you can follow, or else you can follow her on Facebook. 

She will be posting a weekly theme. Those who join the challenge will post their weekly photo on Flickr or Facebook.

Her theme for the first week of Janaury was

Resolutions.

Here's my photo I submitted....

My resolution is to be a good steward with the 3 most important gifts we humans are given...

my faith, my family, my time.

It is my goal to post each weekly picture on my blog. 

What's your resolution?

Really.... I probably have a list twice as long as last years but haven't written it down yet1

Fun Day

Well, I guess I cross one more thing of my 'Want to Do' list for 2011.

I didn't necessarily have a 'quilt camp' here, but I did host a craft/sewing day in the desert!

Had 2 girlfriends come over for a craft day, well, more like an eating/crafting day!

Miss C. made pacifier-type clip-ons, and Miss W. made some magical soda can flowers and embellishments with her BigZ and dyes.

I didn't get much done, but here's something I did finish.

It's a wool, yoyo purse/clutch!

I am going to make another one w/ some 1930's fabric.

Snow Day 2011

Wow, we had so much fun!

Christmas!

we celebrated on the 22nd, with a big dinner and gifts. we are headed to Mt. Charleston on Sunday to go sledding! I can't wait! we're packin' sub sandwiches, hot chocolate, and extra socks!

Here's my gang this year. Sailor Boy came home on the 19th and has been spoiling me by spending lots of time with me.

I hope I get a better picture on Sunday!

We hope you are spending time with family,

remembering the most important gift of all...

Jesus!
