oh, victronica, how i miss you...

...let me count the ways:


(i was just beyond giddy over this place...wow...)







- THat might have been an overload of pics, but i couldn't help myself =) i think i'm a little attached to them, because i had a hard time choosing which to post - i'd LOVE to hear your faves! --- so isn't my favorite muse GORGEOUS?!?!? i'm so sad i had to move away - i may be biased, but i really think she's the next big thing, you know, like america's next top model - for sure! miss you so! ;)

swap

look at all the fun stuff i got from Stephanie! (also, not pictured [because i forgot about it because it's in my CD player] is a CD she mixed up for me). not only did i get in on Steph's swap, but i also found THE BEST recipe ever (i ate it today for lunch, in fact!) that she shared. it was so fun to get an unexpected package in the mail full of fun stuff - the boys were singing me happy birthday, ha! Thanks so much Steph!

Eyes - Rogue Wave

i don't know, maybe Rogue Wave is old news to you all, but i just found them through Amy's blog (which i love, btw - both for her inspiration in photography and other things) - i LOVE THEM (thanks AMy!)

mine

who's that adorable little guy in my new banner, you ask? why, he's mine =)

family

my husband's sisters and their girls came to visit - I just love my nieces! Since I have 2 boys, i just soak up the girliness when i get the chance. I had to snap a few in great-grandma's kitchen. These two ADORE each other. [this one's for you, Gma K.!]
