The Traditions of Labor Day Weekend

I have grown up attending the opening game of at the University of Florida in Gainesville, FL. It's an amazing event full of promise of the season, welcome "seasonal" friends that you will welcome weekly for the next 12 weeks with chicken, brownies, stories and of course a cocktail or two. I now am a mom... so I take my two daughters (whom I've brainwashed masterfully) into the SWAMP to cheer on the Gators and more importantly to teach my 9 year old the finer points of football. I told her that it's a much more interesting conversation on football weekends with the boys than the girls who don't know what's going on!


So here's my nod to tradition, I hope you all appreciate yours and have the opportunity to pass it on.

GO GATORS!!

Tell me about your First Day of School...

As my four year old heads out for her first day of real school I feel all nostalgic. I attended Beverly Shores Elementary School in Leesburg, FL. I remember Ms. Stevens as a sweet loving teacher that taught me how to do math really well and spell. In my mind her room always had a autumn feel about it. Warm orange and gold colors with autumn leaves around the cork board. Safe and cozy...It was a good introduction to school learning....

How about you? What do you remember of school?

Travel Journals Ready

I love journals! Especially graph paper journals, so I decided to created a travel journal using my photography from some of my favorite places AND of course graph paper. I'm really excited about them. Take a peek!

I hope to have a number of different journals available soon as well as notecard sets to go with them.

Salty Sweet?

OK, I love food and cooking and all that comes with it. My kids have taken to this "lovely" combo and I just don't get it. Is EVERYTHING better with bacon? OR are there some things that could just be left baconless?

bacon and whipped cream?!

Let me know your thoughts on this very controversial subject.

With all my Sympathies and Love

There was a horrible loss yesterday. He was older and always seems bigger than life to me. He was the big brother (and cute, btw) to my wonderfully funny, warm and genuine friend. In honor of him today, just remember the people that made a difference in  your world whether they realized it or not.

A View from Heaven

For my dear friend MGP and her family,

My thoughts and prayers are with you.

When are you an Artist?

I've been doing things creatively for as long as I can remember. I know so many extremely creative people. Some make a living at it, most don't. I was just wondering... at what point are you an artist?


I have been doing photography for over 30 years. Seriously... more than 30!!! I've been paid, hired, educated to take cool photographs. I'm just now feeling like I can honestly call myself an artist. Why is that? Are artist just so self deprecating that it's just the way their nature is?

There is Never Just One Way...

For all of the budding artist and closet creatives... Stand up with your work and take ownership of it, tell the world that it was created by an amazing artist and that this is just the beginning. As for the closet creatives, step into the light and let your imagination go wild!!!
