Gibb Garden

Wow is all I can say about this place!

If you are in the Atlanta or North Georgia area this place is a must see photo spot.

It isn't exactly cheap but photography is very much encouraged!

I had so much fun doing family portraits here.

rediscovering HDR

I have been rediscovering and honing my high dynamic range skills.

I just think these really pop!

Global Winter Wonderland

If this comes back next year I recommend you attend, just be sure to get a promo code or a deal on living social as it is a bit pricey but worth it if you consider it includes rides, fake snow, circus and incredible lights.

Fall Crafts

This time of year is my inspiration for many things. Here are a couple of signs I made using old pallet wood , fabric leaves and flowers, scrapbook paper, ribbon, twine , mod podge, paint and diamond glaze 

Marie + Ryan

a tribute to Coldplay

When I first met my husband I had discovered the band Coldplay just before hand.

They were unknown at the time and I was obsessed with them

My husband says every time he hears them he thinks of me

He would call me whenever they came on the radio

He even called me from the other room one time because they were playing on the TV

 It became our thing

Then my teenage daughter discovered them

Her best friend bought her tickets to see them at Phillips Arena in Atlanta for her 17th birthday

It was the first time she went to a concert unsupervised

She said it was the most amazing thing

And then the cutest thing happened...

My son heard this song on the radio and began singing it

He said it was he and Ariana's song to each other

Skyview Atlanta

My obsession get's bigger!

New HUGE Ferris Wheel downtown opened last week.

Rode it on my birthday



Margins of Society

a little cover art for an upcoming cd release

this is one of many not sure which will be picked until the album is pressed.

Finished Sign!

All the places my husband and I have been together. Hoping to fill up the other side by the fall with our big trip up the eastern seaboard coming up! We travel as our anniversary present every year instead of gifts. Sometimes it's a big trip, sometimes it's camping. Either way it's a chance for us to explore new places and create new memories together. 

Pallet Wood Projects

I had the guys in the warehouse cut up some old pallets for me to take home. I finally got around to making several projects out of them. Here is a peek at what I accomplished this weekend.

  made several photo blocks for myself and for family

 this is still a work in progress, just need to nail them to the post and put it in the ground

I have this thing for word puns...can you tell?

Anniversary present for my love

Tales from Morningview Cemetery

I was lucky enough to be a small part of this film project and got to view the first part of the movie on Sunday at the wrap party held at the Burge Plantation in Mansfield, GA.

Dayna Noffke and Shane Morton are so talented in so many ways and it was a privilege to be a part of this and I can't wait to see the rest of the film.

The weekend in pictures

under 32 minutes and by far my favorite T-shirt from a race yet

before the race

we wandered around the park before the race while no one else was there

the new 24 story swing ride filled with crash test dummies

Not open yet. It looks ridiculously scary

The Scream machine...I have to admit, it rattled my head so much I was a little worried about my jaw!

Ariana's friend Mikah 

She met his mom's best friend while running and she was playing cupid. We hung out with them for a bit and rode the roller coasters together.

All the Vampires lined up while the citizens ran past the start line. They got a head start before we could chase after them.

The locker strip I made for Ariana

My parting gifts

Gift from my boss for Administrative professionals day

D.R.I. @ Masquerade

And finally, the hats we won playing the ring toss game
