My mom had time this Christmas to decorate the house a little differently then she usually does [I think she holds the same creative level as Martha Stewart]. But as I searched the house I found this throw back picture of me and my older sister and brother...

My dog Meadow was excited for the Christmas Festivities!

My siblings and I draw names for Christmas... Blythe had me! She got me Seasons 1 and 2 of Friends [Major YAY! I want to have all the seasons by 2013!] and she also gave me some head shots she had taken over this past year! I have posted a few of my favorite below! 

               

My daddy and I! :] Love him!

If you want to see anymore of my sisters, Blythe's photography check out her Facebook! She does engagements, Senior pictures, family pictures and whatever else you need!! Also check out her blog... it will be updated while she travels the world!

I hope you had a very Merry Christmas and will have a Happy New Year! [New Years resolutions post coming soon!] My goal this break is the read Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers! I'll let you know how it goes! :]

Sisters and Creativeness.

I am not sure if you have seen the movie My Sisters Keeper , it caused my mind to wonder back to all the years my sister and I spent fighting. To be honest my sister and I have only recently become actual friends. I think thats what happens when girls grow up, and don't have to share things any more. :] Anyways, this movie really touched me and opened my eyes to how blessed I am to have a sister, even if we fight.

And today I felt a craving to create something. Do you know what I am talking about? Sometimes I simply have a spark of excitement and longing to DO something! So, to satisfy my creative craving, I had to create something. I thought about writing a short story or something but, I am tiered of writing. So i thought about painting again, but I am certainly not in the mood to clean anything.

Then i thought about pictures. For the past 4 years I have been using the picture editing site PiCNiK. It's free and AWESOME. If you enjoy capturing memories in a picture, this is the site for you! It's easy to use, and its SO fun. 

So, with the combination of me missing my sister, & wanting to be creative -- I created this: 

This is one of my favorites I've done on picnik. :] Here a few more that I have done, and I like! Enjoy! 

Like What you see?! Check out Picnik! Seriously!! :]

If anything this makes me want to buy all the adobe 'stuff'. 

One Day. :]
