30 Days of Creativity Day 9 -- Laissez les bons temps rouler & Merry Christmas
During my recent trip to New Orleans, I stopped in one of the Christmas shops on Decatur Street to pick up a New Orleans themed Santa for Aunt Nancy's collection. While in there Cary and I saw a beautiful tree decorated with Madri Gras themed ornaments and started talking about how cool it would be to do a tree like that. The next night as we ( Read more... ) -
30 Days of Creatvity Day 8 -- Gone to the Devil
Monday I spent the afternoon/evening with Cary. After watching X-Men: First Class(which rocked), we went back to the apartment for Pizza and WWE Raw. As I was leaving I asked Cary where Gage had gone because I wanted to say good bye to him. He said that Gage has recently commandeered a spot behind the couch where Cary stores extra blankets and ( Read more... ) -
30 Days of Creativity Day 6 -- Framed
A few years ago, Nathan got me a couple of frames for Christmas. My first thought was that they were the perfect size for matting some postcards from New Orleans, thus adding to my office decor at school. Then I got sick and trips to new Orleans got postponed... over and over. When Cary and I went last month, I told him I wanted him to help me find ( Read more... ) -
30 Days of Creativity Day 5 -- Thistle
Yesterday, as I was leaving Aunt Nancy's, I pulled over to to the side of the road to get a shot of a lone thistle in a field near her house. Tonight, I pulled it up to fiddle with a little. The result is one of my favorite nature shots I have taken since I got this camera:

30 Days of Creativity, Day 4--Baby Blues
Today, my cousin Katie and her two youngest kids came down to Aunt Nancy's so they could explore the 400 Mile Yard Sale that runs along Highway 68/80 in Kentucky. After they returned to Aunt Nancy's, Mom and I drove down for a cook out and to visit, since I don't get to see Katie as much as I used to lately. I grabbed my camera in hopes of ( Read more... ) -
30 Days of Creativity, Day 3 -- Queen for a Night
Last Sunday, Play Dance Bar, where Cary and I socialize when we go out, hosted a benefit show for Suzy Wong, a contender for Miss Pride 2011. Suzy is a sometime guest Playmate and her alter ego Arnold Myint is a former Top Chef Contestant and owner of Suzy Wong's House of Yum, home of the Asian Wonton Nachos I have raved about on here before.

30 Days of Creativity, Day 2--In Bloom
Between my sucky work schedule and running to Nashville when I was off, I didn't get to take as many spring photos as I would have liked. I have often passed a house around the corner and thought I'd love to get a shot of the flowers climbing up their mailbox post, but never had the camera with me when I passed by. Tonight I made a conscious ( Read more... ) -
Follow Your Heart 2.0
So the 8X10 frame was too big and the 5X7 frame was too small, which meant a 5X7 mat in an 8X10 frame didn't work either, so last night I trotted over to Hobby Lobby and had a mat custom cut to fit my cross stitch from Marika. I chose the color because it matches the middle line of the stitching. It now sits on my desk at the office.

Follow your Heart...
I've been waiting to post a photo of one of my favorite Christmas gifts until I could find a frame for it. It seemed a rather appropriate sentiment, considering it says exactly what I plan to do this year:
