"Community Spotlight"

In the newspaper... this time for my photography! :)


I appeared in the "community spotlight" section of our local paper, The Crittenden Press, this past week. The article has referred a few more viewers to my blog! yay! ;)

[See my original Flood Book post here!]

Btw... I wrote the article! ha. I don't like writing articles about myself in "third person" form, but the fun part is that you can add any quote you want! ;D

Last night was amazing. Dancing for four hours with the best people in the whole world is so much fun. :D It was seriously the best night ever.

The dress I wore was my grandmother's wedding dress from 52 years ago. It was so beautiful! I felt like a princess!!

I hope you enjoy this collection of photos! :D

Simple Pleasures

What a lovely day! \o/

On Monday we went to a health food store and Olive Garden. Good combination, right? ;)

On our way to the store we drove across the "Black Water River" (gorgeous dark water.)

While we were waiting for a table at Olive Garden, I of course got out my camera.

 Dad and I took a walk while we waited.

 I had a short photo session with a huge pine cone..

[which of these two shots do you like best? Comment and let me know!]

 Dad and I got back to Olive Garden right before our table was ready.

Every time we eat there, I always make a paper crane out of the paper napkin holder. It had been so long since I had make a crane, I couldn't remember how to fold it! It kept turning into a lily. I finally figured it out though! :D I love tiny origami.

Hopefully this shot makes up for last time when I chickened out, Peter? ;)

The pine trees were so beautiful. I wish we had had time to stop.

It was another fun day with my family. ♥ I wish we could stay in Florida longer! :)

Blessings!!

Dreaming

"Dreams feel real while we're in them. It's only when we wake up that we realize something was actually strange."

New Page!

Hello all!! I've finally published my 'about me' page called "Me and My Gear"! Check it out and let me know what you think! =D

Blessings,

A Happy, Happy New Year

2012 is off to a good start! :) Here are a few highlights of today's activities.

After a wonderful time of worship at my grandparent's church, we drove home the 'back way' and they showed us their library ♥ and a few other places. 

The "Whiz Kid" statue near the library entrance. I loved it!

I've always loved my grandmother's decorations. They've been to so many places and have  such unique souvenirs, paintings/drawings, decorations, etc.! - mostly from England, Germany and Switzerland I believe.

 I love Gram's thimble collection! This picture does not do it justice.

My dad wanted photos of all the watercolor paintings, so I went around the house and took pictures of everything. :) Typical Emily. (this time I had an excuse)

I love their magnet collection, also. Guess which one is my favorite of these three!! xD TARDIS!!!

This is a quote from my great grandfather, Papa Taylor. :)

Playing Zonk with dad and BigDaddy! So much fun! :D

I've had a blast in Florida. I wish we could stay much longer!!

Blessings!!

Another year to walk with Christ! Aren't we blessed?!

I hope you had a wonderful 2011, and I hope 2012 brings you lots of joy!

Ginormous thanks to my parents for making this shot possible!! =D
