Wow! This week sure has been busy! We’ve had family come into town and we’ve been busy having fun with them. And now we are getting ready to go camping! It will be our first trip of the year… we were planning on going a couple weeks ago, but got rained out. The weather is starting to look like rain again, yuck! But we are still going to go. I think it will still be nice just to get away for a couple days!

I thought it might be fun to do a little photography challenge while I’m out camping. My creativity needs a little jump start! I’m going to get my sister to join me, she just got a Nikon D60 last month! It will be a fun way to learn some more about our cameras.

So, my challenge. I would love for you to play along too!

“The ABC’s of Camping!” …or wherever you are this weekend! So simple really! Well, maybe not but it will sure get you thinking! I am going to try and find something throughout our camping trip that starts with each letter of the alphabet! I think it will be fun and kind of cool to see what my sister and I come up with.

Join us if you’d like! I’ll be back on Monday or Tuesday with my results. I would love to see what YOU come up with!!

Have a fun (and dry, hopefully!) weekend!!

Join me and let’s have some fun together discovering some new favorites!!

This week, I knew I had to post this! I took this picture on our trip into the foothills last Friday. I wanted to experiment with some different angles and I’m so glad this turned out how I wanted! I gave it an edgy look and now I just can’t stop looking at it! It is definitely my favorite picture at the moment!

Another favorite is the new Pink Grapefruit Tic Tacs! I found them at Walmart last week  and they are already eaten. I need to go get some more before they’re gone, since they are limited edition! So… what’s your favorite thing this week? I want to see!!
