Assignment- Light

What better time to show off my crazy father's Christmas lights, then now?? My Dad starts putting up lights on Labor Day weekend, and doesn't stop until the first or second weekend of December. He is very proud of his house, and I am sure would be pretty psyched about me using it as an assignment. :)

The full deal
His running stream into the lake complete with ducks and deer taking a drink :)

Assignment- Symbolic

When I think of our beautiful city of Snoqualmie, there are usually two things that always come to mind. The gorgeous view of Mt. Si, and our historic trains downtown. So, that is what I choose to take this week. :)

Christmas Card

I absolutely love designing announcements and cards now! I am still learning, but I am having a ton of fun! :) I thought that I would share the card that I designed for our family for Christmas! I hope that you like it!

Assignment- Thankful

There is so much that I am thankful for, it was difficult to narrow it down to just a few. But, here are some of my top choices! :)

I am so thankful for my happy and healthy boys, and that I have a husband who is actively involved! :)
I am thankful that we have become a family, and that we have a warm and safe home to raise our children in.
I am thankful for my heritage, and family. This is one of my favorite places in the whole world, in Portage Utah. It was my grandparents home, before they passed. My great-great grandfather helped found this town with the early Mormon settlers, which I never knew about until I was baptised myself when I was 20 years old.
And, I am thankful for all of Heavenly Father's creations. The beauties that are around us everyday, especially the little tender mercies that we tend to miss. I love how beautiful this earth is, and I always find myslef wanting to photograph everything around me!!
