Eye Candy-My Fave Blogs

If you're like me you blog surf. A lot.  And what with the advent of Pinterest, well, we have sooo much more to look at, right? And even though there are thousands upon thousands of blogs, I find myself going back to a chosen few because frankly my brain desires them. It's like my eyes crave them. These blogs are not only filled with creative ideas, photos, and stories they have gorgeous colors! Yes, colors!! I love feasting my eyes on colorful photographs. So today I will share with you what I crave and what I consider to be the ultimate in eye candy :) Enjoy:  First up is a fairly new to me site. I love her site, because not only is it SUPER informative, but the crafts are just so cute!!

Inking Idaho  And she even provides tutorials on how to make these with downloadable instructions! Fun, fun, fun :) G...

Thankful Thursdays-Uncovering Your Hidden Talents

Yesterday my daughter and I attended a cute little play at my little guy's school.  It was a take on the story of Rumpelstiltskin with a modern twist.

A PR guy who has the queen sign over her first born child in exchange for riches. I tell you my little guy had the audience in stitches! But I digress. You see, for some time now, my son, who is 9 years old, has been in a self esteem rut.  What with being the youngest of three children and having super talented older siblings, well the kid thought he didn't catch a break when talent was being handed out in heaven. Well he was wrong! I wish you could have seen his face beaming at the applause they all received at the end of the performance. I mean these kids were TOTAL amateurs and the teacher took them and ta...

Blue and Gold Decoration Ideas

As promised I am going to show you some really cute table decorations from the Blue and Gold banquet event I photographed a couple of weeks ago. I thought they were so clever.  Each den made decorations for their tables. Each had a certain theme. I thought I'd post them here for whomever is in charge of scouts, maybe you can get some inspiration ;) Den "A" Den "B" Den "C" Den "D" More Dens I think it's wonderful to see all the creativity these boys show here :) I loved walking around and looking at everything they boys have been working on before the awards ceremony began. I hope these photos inspire you as they inspired me. Have a great week. Patty
