Janna and the cousins

I'm very behind! I'm so sorry to all my loyal readers. Much to blog about...

My sister Janna was visiting me two weeks ago and we took a little trip to visit my cousins and aunt and uncle. Lots of fun!

Having fun with their decorations

Sleepy cousin


The big activity for the afternoon was creating paper snowflakes


Violet was making some excellent designs




A quiet portrait of Janna


and another


and a not-so-quiet one


I always love shooting Janna's dreadlocks

Kelly and Matt's album

I recently finished Kelly and Matt's album design. I had lots of fun with this one!

Cutest measuring cups ever

What would we do without Ebay? I was in need of a set of measuring cups a few weeks ago and instead of buying some nice traditional silver ones I explored the depths of ebay to see what folks were selling. What I found is now my new favorite item in my kitchen.

The cups all have little colored bees for handles! (we're looking at them upside down)


So darn cute


And when stacked together, they form a beehive! What more could you want in a set of measuring cups?








I'm currently waiting on my rooster and sunflower measuring spoons :)

Ice

Ice in Chicago! Travel was slow on Saturday, but it was so pretty outside!

Dinner time

Every year my friend Ron's parents and grandma invite all his friends over for his grand birthday dinner. We always look forward to tons of great food and lively conversation. This year Ron and his wife Lisa moved to Ohio, but his family still wanted to keep the parties going!
