glimpses of october

Well, it's that time again! Here's a little peek at our month of October. I'm a little short on words today; we just got back from a 3-day getaway in KC and I have 134 emails patiently waiting in my inbox. ♥

And last night, Photoshop crashed on my computer and I lost everything. Everything. I had all my actions backed up except for one set, but it's just months of organizing and personalizing Photoshop the way I like it. Actions organized in certain 'favorite' folders (gone)...all my saved shortcuts (also gone), all my original actions that I worked so hard to create (gone - I never even thought to back those up).

I realized I don't even know how to flatten an image - LOL! Two years ago, I made flattening an image F4, and now all this time later, I only know it as F4! All those shortcuts were deleted, so I have to figure out everything again. Fun stuff!

Welp, onward and upward, right? :-) Here's a look at October.



Oh! Did you see the pictures of my sweet TT at the library last week? If you haven't visited my Instagrid in awhile, feel free to check it out. Be sure to click on the 1st picture in the 3rd row; Livia in a shopping cart looking up at Collin. {melt!!}

Hope your week is off to a great start!

glimpses of september

Well, I've kept my promise of not continuing to post oodles of iPhone pictures on my blog, haven't I? ;-) (Remember how I mentioned there was some heckling from certain family members)? I'm keeping it all within Instagram and I have to say...I'm having a blast! The inspiration is out of this world, it's soooo much easier for me to keep up on than blog visiting, and I've met some new friends who I admire so much!

Yes, I still love your blogs! ♥ Yes, I'm still going to keep mine going! ♥ It's just that you guys know how behind I get on blog reading, and Instagram can go anywhere with me. I love not being parked in front of my computer!

And for those of you that have left comments telling me you enjoy my iPhone pics, well e-hugs for you, because that makes my day! :-)

Remember, if you don't have an iPhone, you're welcome to click on Instagram in my menu bar to view the pictures I've been sharing with my Instagram pals. (It's a different look and feel than the pics below).

And now to the point. I've amazingly kept my Glimpses project going, so here is a look at September.
C'mon, tell me how proud you are of me.


I started this collage idea in July, and last night my husband and I were taking a look back at the 90 pictures I've taken so far. It was so cool because I could tell the story behind each little snapshot. Fingers crossed that I can keep this up for a year.

OK, that's all from here! Have a wonderful rest of the week! ♥

glimpses of august

I wasn't sure whether I'd be up for another month of pictures, but this is just way too easy! Thank you iPhone! *smooooooch!*

Here is a little peek of our August.



I'm still telling myself that this isn't a project. If I do it... great, and if not... super. I'll do it until it's not fun anymore, but for now it amuses me. ;-) Oh, and you might notice a few duplicates from my Instagram collage. The Instagram collage was just me playing around with some different editing. This collage is a look at our August as it happened day by day.

Happy Tuesday! ♥

glimpses of july

Remember how I said I wasn't going to commit to any more projects...Project 365, Party of 3, etc.? Well somehow last month I ended up taking nearly a picture a day with my iphone. (I'm as shocked as you are). ;-)

Awhile back, Ashley sent me a link to Christine Pobke, a wedding photographer in Australia. She did a 365 collage with the same setup I'm using here. I emailed her asking if she would mind me copying her layout and she said to go right ahead! :-) What a sweet gal!

So, without further adieu...I present "Glimpses of July."



Every one of these pictures has meaning to me: somewhere we went, something we did, just little glimpses of our everyday life. (And no, that little brown house in the center is not mine; if you're curious about things like that). ;-)

I don't know if you'll see Glimpses of August... I know better than to even speak the words out loud. I hear it's supposed to be 114 degrees here today, and the heat is sapping my ability to form words. So...that's all for Monday. Have a great one! ♥
