Love to Party

Ok, I am totally exhausted and my weekend is totally over.

It was all party all the time this weekend.

Family was in town to celebrate birthdays and pregnancies and engagements and all sorts of good things...it was good times.

I snapped some pics.

Actually lots of pics.

In fact, I totally filled my memory card.

Conveniently just when my photography class is starting.  Geez.

Here are some pics from the b-day celebrations...

We made like over 50 teeny tiny cupcakes!

Oh ok ok, so I  didn't contribute much to the cupcake construction since I am not allowed to bake (long story)...but the fam made like 50-something cupcakes!  Aren't they super cute?!

I can't wait until I know how to make my photos look super awesome.

I am still in that experimental composition and editing phase of my photography education...sooooo perhaps just keep that tidbit of info in mind as you look at the photos I post ;)

P.S. One day I totally want to throw a party using of THESE party boxes...SO adorable.

Hope you had a fabulous weekend!

xoxo

Ban.Do...or Don't...

I wish I were they type of girl who could wear a big yellow bow in my hair, just for kicks, and be as adorable as this Ban.Do girl...

...especially cuz this limited edition silk bow headband is on sale!  But alas, I am so not cute in big headbands, or bows, or hats really...I so wish I was a hat person.

But seriously, how cute is that bow??!  Oh goodness, to walk down the street with a big yellow bow on my head would totally be the best...it would so make me smile.

Stressed...

Equals desserts...when spelled backwards ;)

I'm stressed today.

I need some desserts (read: golden spoon) STAT.

Sparklies

I just am so in love with this ring at the moment...  

It comes in a light greenish/whitish/sparkly color too which is completely beautiful.  

Oh it would be so hard to choose between the two!  

But seriously, as if I am making this choice anytime in the near future...sheesh.

 Still, a girl does loves her sparklies.

I think this ring is pretty too...

Photo Ninja Here I Come

I signed up for my photography class today.  

I am...

SO. 

EXCITED.

Now I can feel completely legit when I walk around town with my camera dangling around my neck. For years I've been a little photo wannabe, a starry eyed dreamer, walking around as if I were a total photo ninja, totally pretending to know exactly what I was doing (even though I hadn't a clue) and yet trying to appear as if I were a total pro ;)  

Oh I crack myself up.  

Well now I am going to learn how to use my new slr camera appropriately...and perhaps explore settings beyond the automatic ones...I hope to just really get to know the basics of this new hobby of mine.  

I can't wait.

I will share some of my photos with you...if they are any good that is...I am totally only showing the good stuff.

;) 

ha ha ha.
