Project 52: Week 30

I finally got up the courage to try some lens-flipping after hearing about for quite some time.  I love how these turned out!

Ribbon

Izze bottle cap

 Safety pin

 ponytail holder

 moldy playdoh

And a dartboard with the lens flipped:

And normal

We had to make tortillas from scratch because we forgot to get them at the store. They were good.

Have a good week!

Project 52: Week 29

Sometimes I wish I hadn't started Project 52, but then I remember that I'm more than halfway through and if I've done it this far I can continue through the rest of the year. It does force me to take pictures nearly every day to come up with creative ways to capture the same things. I am a day late sometimes, like today, because of unforeseen happenings the day before.

My older sister had a birthday last week. I and some of my other siblings bought her this jewelry tree. I think it is quite cute.

This is what she had instead of cake. It was good.

Table decorations

My brother got the camera one up from mine to take to Bolivia on his mission trip. I think he likes it.

We stopped by this tree on our way home from a funeral in North Texas. I was surprised Dad stopped for me. I would've taken people pictures in front of it, but the 105 degree heat kinda discouraged us! I like weeping willows.

Breakfast for dinner one night.

 The kids love it when the afternoon makes my candle reflect spots of light all over the room.

Clearly I need to work on my self-portrait skills! It's surprisingly hard to see what it should look like and tiring to run back and forth because you don't have a remote for your camera.

Project 52: Week 28

For an online photo shoot. The theme this time was "red"

I'm slowly adding decor to my new walls. This was last week's project. I got corkboards at Wal-Mart and covered two of them with material that went with my room. It was fun. :)

A few random pictures taken around the house.

Project 52: Week 27

   We found a great patriotic idea for strawberries in a magazine. It looked so good that we just had to try it. I used Ghiradelli white chocolate. It just may become a 4th of July tradition. 

Playing Round Robin on the 4th in the garage was hot, but fun!

And what's the 4th without fireworks? We were under a firework ban this year, so we only did sparklers and a few fountains. The neighbors though, somehow missed that memo and shot theirs off right over our house, so it was rather hard to miss. We got our fireworks this year without having to pay for them and thankfully there were no fires. :)

Project 52: Week 26

 A bird got stuck in our currently-not-working fountain. We couldn't figure out if it was too sick to fly, or hadn't learned yet. 

Fun new nail polish colors for summer!

 When you have a sister who loves to paint nails and is quite good at it, your toes can always look professional!

Project 52 is halfway over.... and 2011 is also halfway over. This is hard to believe. It's going by so fast!
