The Leaf

The other day I made a photo story as part of a new photography project that I want to start working on. Since it's super cutesy and kinda silly, I thought that I would share it. :) Enjoy.

Once upon a time, there was a leaf. But it wasn't a normal leaf, it was a little different. When I found it on a tree, I though, "this doesn't belong here!" So I set out to discover where it really did belong.

So, I tried to put it on other trees, but it didn't match the berry tree.

It looked too lonely on the tree with no leaves.

The leaf looked not right on a trunk. I'm not sure why, but I know that the leaf did not belong there. By now, I'm sure that it was getting lonely, so I tried other places for it to belong to.

But, it definitely was not part of a pine tree.

The flowers and the leaf were not meant to be either.

Well, the push pin and the pumpkin matched, but the leaf still
didn't look comfortable.

So, I made the leaf its own tree!

THE END!

from my dorm window

One of my first nights back at NWC I took these fun photos of the sunset. And I made these sweet vases, so I took pictures of them too! Yay crafts and sunsets!

just a little artsy tartsy

I've been making lots and lots of crafts lately, but here's an art project Chance and I did about 3 weeks ago that I never shared with you. It was the result of a deeply discounted water color set at michael's and a splash of creativity on my (and Chance's) part. I think it turned out really well. I'd hang it on my wall at least, but then again, I might be a titch biased.

prying up the paints

arranging the paint circles

gluing down the paints

playing around with the flash. Doesn't it look kinda sweet?

For the Love of Arts and Crafts

I'll be going to the cliffs with Chance in just a bit, but I thought I'd share a preview of a still frame movie that I just made in conjunction with making Chance's anniversary present. Love you all!


This is part of what I used to rig up my camera. Unfortunately it didn't work and then it broke the glass for my frame. Good times.

My lovely snuch (snack and lunch) of garlic humus and vegetables, minus my fritos.

I love this quote! I found it in the book that I used to get all the fun things for my collage!
