Hair Do

I took my mom for a hair cut today, and doesn't she look FABULOUS?! She always gets nervous for photos and makes funny faces and looks like she's in pain. This night I wanted to take her picture with her great hair-do. I said something funny about my camera and mom laughed - and I was quick enough to get this shot while she was still laughing. I just LOVE this picture of her.

Go Giants!

Today is the big game between New York and Philadelphia. I'm rooting for the Giants!

It's Time for Bed...

It's been a LONG day and now it's time for bed. :)

365 A Photo A Day...

Some of the girls on the Stamp Shack have decided to do a blog with a new photo each day. I thought it sounded like fun, so I am going to add this into my blog instead of creating yet another one! Since I love photography and cameras, I thought this would be a great first photo.

Happy New Year!

We had the big New Year's Day party here at our house today. Lots of food, friends, and freezing cold weather...the below zero kind. But that didn't stop the kiddos (big and small) from venturing out to slide, snowmobile, and ride 4 wheelers. I slipped out for a couple of pictures, but it was too cold for me. Right back inside with my hot cocoa and whipped cream. Oh, yeah. Maybe tomorrow will be a little warmer...

Autism Society of Maine's "Showcase Your Abilities" Craft Fair

On Saturday my best friend, Cindi, and I went to participate in a craft fair sponsored by the Autism Society of Maine. For those of you who don't know me, I have a 16 year old son with autism. He is very creative and helped me make several projects to sell at this fair to raise money for the cause. My cousin, Shirley, also contributed a basket of beautiful hand knit mittens and some cute hand knit ornaments she made. I included some of the photographs we displayed in an earlier post. Today I'm posting fun pics from the craft fair of my display and Cindi's display. The fabulous coat I'm wearing was given to me by my thoughtful cousin, Nola, who lives in Texas. Every where I went, people commented on how unique and fun it was. Even a nice ol' man at Michael's couldn't help but tell me how "smart" it was! It was a great day and we raised $30 for ASM. Not a huge amount, but every little bit helps. It was their first attempt at sponsoring a fair like this, so I'm sure it will be bigger and better every year they host it!

I'm Back!

It's been a while since my last post. I've recently been making projects for a craft fair I'm going to be participating in. The Autism Society of Maine is sponsoring it's first craft fair. It's called "Showcase Your ABILITIES". Many children with disabilities and their families enjoy crafting, photography and art. This "craftabilities fair" gives us all a chance to show off what we CAN do. These are a few photos my son, Jacob, and I will be displaying (and hopefully selling!) He shot the Circus Wagon Wheel at a Museum in Massachusetts and the Stained Glass Window is a shot he did after Church one night. I shot the Rose at a friend's house and grew the Day Lily in my own garden.
