all dressed up
Backstory of above photo:
I am not a fancy girl who wants diamonds and gold.
We collect odd, random, vintage stuff that please our eyes or value for resale.
Matt brings me vintage textiles, picture frames, fresh fruits and veggies from the Flea Market
(no fleas of course!)
I was laughing at myself trying to figure out a story telling pose with all this delicious embroidery and vintage artwork surrounding me...fruits and all!
But now I am convinced to be the biggest fruitcake of it all !!
...and now you know the rest of my story....(for now)
tomorrow is a brand new day!

49 cent letter to a Soldier
It only costs .49 cents to send a little love and support from home.
The Postal Service has Military Priority Boxes at Special Rate.
When I asked my son what he wished for ( besides coming home ) he explained they have access to almost anything they want. So my suggestion is use your imagination...what would YOU want if you were away from your loved ones for the next nine months?
I will clue you in to something that he did admit..."Jalapeno Potato Chips" sure would make a good day !

my backstory of a self portrait
This is the day that decides by itself to be beautiful
~ Henry Shukman ~
This is the backstory of how a self portrait is born....one of several tutorials I offer in Mish Mash
It all started one evening, in Texas, Spring 2012, when I was looking out the backdoor to witness such beautiful light.
I grabbed my twirly skirt, tripod, remote
and my handsome Field Assistant of course
since I was planning to cross barbed wire and trek
since I was planning to cross barbed wire and trek
thru a rugged cow pasture. Next thing I know we are hiking towards the pond
It takes a minute of patience and just the right angle
and of course a remote timer!!
I think we make a pretty good team, eh?

Raw Chocolate Balls
The following recipe is loosely based on several recipes
I have already tried. I suggest doing like I did and experiment
with your favorite ingredients, mix it up!!
Try orange peel, maybe some chipotle powder
or chopped bits of fresh ginger!
Come back and let me know if you like them !
And how you twisted up my recipe!!
For the next three days I will be posting similar content like I offer in my e-course "Mish Mash"
Wednesday is my birthday and I will be offering a free give-away for Mish Mash February 2014!!
So come back and see what's up my sleeve!!

Shake it Out
I am playing a new self portrait challenge on Instagram hosted by Vanessa using Hipstamatic. This amazing app creates vintage photos with one click!! All you do is shake your phone and when you have it set on "Shake" it opens a random lens,film and flash. It's always a fun surprise !!
What gives you some giggly JOY this week?

15 Feathers
One for each member of the 511th Engineer Dive Detachment
I walked the beach yesterday, cried, wandered,
let go of my Soldier Son who deployed
to Kuwait for nine months
There were so many secret messages
in the form of feathers
I gathered
I walked
I cried
I looked up
I was lifted
Do you see the Secret Message?
