This is Me

Just for fun, I took this three-question personality test today. Amazing how much you can tell about a person by three little answers! LOL

Your Personality Is

Idealist (NF)


You are a passionate, caring, and unique person.
You are good at expressing yourself and sharing your ideals.

You are the most compassionate of all types and connect with others easily.
Your heart tends to rule you. You can't make decisions without considering feelings.

You seek out other empathetic people to befriend.
Truth and authenticity matters in your friendships.

In love, you give everything you have to relationships. You fall in love easily.

At work, you crave personal expression and meaning in your career.

With others, you communicate well. You can spend all night talking with someone.

As far as your looks go, you've likely taken the time to develop your own personal style.

On weekends, you like to be with others. Charity work is also a favorite pastime of yours.

Rosescapes

Another foray into macro fine art - with my birthday roses!


And back to the lovely Miss K!

More than one person thought this looked like an ad for Baylor, which happens to be the university this talented, intelligent and lovely young lady hopes to attend. I tend to agree that she'd be a great representative! (So to the admissions staff, just know she has my hearty recommendation.) See for yourself:


And several more, because we just had so much fun:






I won't soon forget this field. Let's just say that 35 ant bites later, I was able to say that it was worth it!

Catch-Up Day!

I hereby declare this Catch-Up Day! There are so many images I want to share. Let's start with the absolutely scrumptious Miss Scarlett. She couldn't be more adorable! This session was a blast - even though we did get a little toasty trying to make sure our beautiful little subject stayed cozy in her birthday suit! So here's your little sneak preview:

Well, you know what they say....

....New Year's resolutions are made to be broken! But I'm really going to try to be better about blogging. The end of last year was "insane," (my boy's favorite word) and I found myself stretched to just get the basics done. But I've resolved to do several things better in 2008, including drink more water, get out of my computer chair and walk every now and then (!) and then come home and blog. In the interest of shooting a wide variety of things that inspire me and tell stories, I've joined Flickr's 365+1 group. A picture a day for a whole year. Think I can do it? I'm going to try. You'll see quite a few of these images here, as well.

Rolling up my sleeves...click!

Here's the first entry and the little story behind it:


Each member of my family seems to relish the idea of hanging this delicate handblown teardrop. It will soon be put away until next December, when once more eager hands will be longing to give it its place of honor just under the star.
