Macro Monday: Rings...
One of my favorite things to photograph at a wedding are the details, namely the rings. Here are a few shots from some of my 2011 weddings...

DIY Fleece Scarf: 15 minutes, Sew Easy!
{Yes, you can tease me for the word play in the title.}
I started with some warm red fleece from Hobby Lobby (LOVE that store!) and cut it into 2 and a 1/2 inch wide strips, I believe I used 4 strips for this. Obviously, cut it on the longest side of your fabric. I just got 1/3 of a yard and have plenty left to make some other stuff I'm Pinterested in! :) I first sewed the strips together making one insanely long strip.
I tried pinning it but then decided that was too much work when I could just jbunch it as I go. But pinning it gives you an idea of how I bunched it up to make it ruffly...
Random sidenote.... My sewing workstation makes me so happy! My Mother-In-Law's sewing machine and my grandmother's sewing table full of her old sewing notions and odds and ends. Makes me feel like I'm sewing right there with them. :)
Sewed up my ruffles...
Then I twisted up the scarf so it kind of resembled a DNA model. Yeah, I'm nerdy enough to think of that when I first started twisting...
Voilà! Now you have a cute little scarf to keep you warm...
And random thought for the day... Did you know that if you sent Micky & Minnie Mouse and invitation to your wedding, they'll send you an autographed pic of them?
Have a blessed day!

State Capital Game...
I found this free printable game with cards to make learning state capitals more fun for Jey.
It worked! Jey is competitive enough to enjoy this. He came close to winning the first game but I didn't fake it and let him win like a nice mommy would. Instead I used it to get him to study the capitals again so he could try to beat me the next time. Worked like a charm. :)
There is a game board you can print out but it didn't have enough spaces for me. I was only using the cards for the states we have covered so far and it was less than half. We went around the board and didn't go through all the cards. We played it again the next day and I changed the rule so we had to go around twice. He was okay with that and we were able to use all the cards this way. I was afraid he'd get board of the game before we got through all the states in the coming weeks but was pleased to find that he drew his own game board! It had lots of spaces and he will most likely be up for creating a new game board when we get tired of this one. Love my creative kid!
He chose some lego minifigures as the game pieces (I chose the one with no head since I didn't feel I need to go without a shirt)...
You can absolutely make this game on your own and change it up as needed. :) The best was finding Jey studying on his own just so he could try to beat me. I didn't even have to make him study! I'm always up for that!

Macro Monday: Beauty Around Us...
I fell in love with these images for some reason but never posted them! This is from May! I'm sure they got lost in the shuffle of wedding season.
I love the buttery-smooth blurred background and how that makes the subject pop in the image.
*sigh* I love this lens. :)
Enjoy!
Enjoy!
