this precious life.

It's time for another one of those posts where I share links to little bits of great things. Stately Sandwiches -- design student Kelly Pratt has set out on a journey to create, photograph & eat a sandwich best representing each of the 50 states. Things Organized Neatly- - I was quite a neat freak when I was young... always organizing things everywhere I went. Right down to the jell-o bins at the grocery store {no joke!}. I've become more balanced about it over time but I still love the images shared on this blog:) Verily Magazine -- modest fashion, home, life & all things girly. Not that we really need another magazine like this... but this one is striving to share great fashion ideas in modest ways so it's at least worth taking a look at! Tartelette - a lovely food blog. Food photography isn't my specialty, but I adore seeing other peoples work. Oh and trying the recipes is fun too;) I See a Different You - stumbled upon this African fas...

I realize this post is quite random... I can't even think of a title at the moment... but I love these little notebooks a bunch and figured it'd be fun to share a bit about them since I'm sure many of y'all will love them too!  {These are all my opinions and I'm receiving no compensation from Green-Inspired or Target (though that would be awesome!!) and all images are taken by me-- not copied from a website! haha}  So I know I said 'notebooks' but really, I love almost all of the  Green-Inspired  line from  Target ! I just picked up some notecards the other week and they are my favorite ones this spring! Love 'em!  Not only are all of the products created from recycled sources, they are super durable/well made, come in the cutest prints and are super inexpensive!  Speaking of durable, I use these notebooks for everything from church notes & inspiration books to keeping track of photography jobs & to-do lists and they...

I've had an album called " Music Inspired by the Story " playing on my Spotify for several weeks now but just today did I really listen to this song: Be Born in Me- sung by Francesca Battistelli.  It's all about Mary and how she must have felt when the angel appeared to her and told her she would bear a son. and call his name Jesus.  that He would be the Holy One. the Messiah. the King of Kings.  so beautiful. take a listen. i'm so excited about Jesus this Christmas. more than ever. what about you?

I've rather been.... a.w.o.l. { absent.without.official.leave }...as of late. Let me just say this- March { always and without fail } is a ridiculous month. A little of everything gets thrown in to make it a really fun and adventurous time of year *but* also craaaazy busy. I've a few posts in the works but since I'm currently working on 1) catching up on Chem and Am Lit h/w{ amongst other h/w-- but these two are especially time consuming } and 2) filling 18 basketball image CD orders... blogging gets put on hold. { Oh and I would love.love.love to catch up on some personal photos somewhere in there- they've been too forgotten } {Hopefully soon} be looking for some posts that have to do with a silhouette mini-shoot, an overview of my March { *I hope* to have personal photos edited by then to go along with that post!} , a load of inspiration that hit my inbox a week ago, an introduction to my two film cameras and another gorgeous day mini-shoot. Oh yes- I'm also in ...
