This weeks theme is ON THE SHELF.  You can tell I’m the mother of small children because all the ideas I had were Elf related. This cross was a gift from my sister after we bought our first home… three homes later it is still one of the first things I had to have hung up.

Now head on over to  see how Jenn Duguay, Valleyview, Alberta Photographer interpreted this weeks theme .

The theme for this week’s Project 52 photo is: WORDS.  I knew instantly what I wanted to do, I just had to wait for the right time to do it.  I have seen this technique done several places before but had never attempted it myself.  I’m quite proud that it only took me 5 tries to be satisfied with the end product! For those of you wondering how it was done, I used a tripod and a flashlight in a pitch black room with a long exposure.  Pretty nifty, huh?

This week my little family got some big news!  I am currently 19 weeks pregnant and we had our Level II ultrasound this past Thursday.  The baby is growing perfectly and weighs approximately 9 ounces right now.  We also found out that in June our crew will be welcoming our third baby

Our theme for this week’s Project 52 shot is “Landscape.”  And if you’ve ever been to the mid-Atlantic states in January  you know there isn’t much to look at (unless it happened to have snowed recently!).   I was really stumped.  Everything around here is BROWN right now.  Dull, uninteresting, monochromatic brown. So I put off this assignment until the very last minute.  Literally, as the sun was setting on Thursday night I wandered outside to try and find some beauty.  What I saw and realized I loved about our new neighborhood is that the landscaping is mature in every yard… and very pretty to look at. In particular is this ivy that grows on so many of the trees here.  So yes, there can be beauty found in a cold and dreary landscape.  You just have to look for it.
