Playing with camera filters

Finally felt like playing with my new camera filters this past weekend.  I think the outcome turned out pretty darn good.

I use a Canon Rebel T1i.  It’s a prized possession for sure.  I’m still a budding photographer by all means, but with some simple filters I’m starting to feel like I have some skills!

Starting to feel like fall

Saturday was pretty relaxing. I worked on a few DIY projects (coming soon). Someone took a nap. Then we baked cookies. It finally feels like fall around here and we soaked it up with the windows open the whole day.  It was perfect.

Happy Sunday!

What Makes You Happy?

Happiness.

eating healthy
having time to spend with my friends
crafting
cuddling with Maggie
working out
having a rewarding job
thought of graduating from Grad School in December
spending time with family
developing my photography skills
cooking (goes with eating healthy)
travelling
having manicured nails (even if I do them myself – still puts a smile on my face)

I was having a pretty rough day yesterday.  I thought to myself instead of complaining, write down what will make you happy.  I figured I can at least do something(s) each day that’ll put a smile on my face.

 My list is simple.

It will take me to stop doing things that don’t increase my happiness and replace those items with one from my list.

What makes you happy?

How do you feel

When you have that one piece, whether it be a skirt, shirt, a pair of sunglasses or, as it is for me lately, a handbag.  I feel as if nothing can touch me.

Thanks to Kate Spade, which is my recent and first big splurge.

Rules to live by around here

I think Maggie, the pup dog, likes to remind me just which rules we follow around here.  I was so politely reminded of that this week when she wanted to cuddle real close right after I survived another CrossFit workout.

Thought this was too funny, and yet true.

Happy Sunday!
