Turquoise & Chocolate

Yes I did take pictures of my bedroom. Kelly thought it was funny that I had pictures of my bedroom on my camera. I've got to practice on something since it's getting cold outside... and I am proud of the way my room is looking so far. :) I still need to hang pictures, find night stands and lamps. I'm hoping to make it to some auctions this winter to find some unique finds. Accomplishment = I finally got my IKEA curtains hung!! I will probably take a pic when they are hemmed and looking nice.

**Two more days until I'm off for a week for Christmas!**

Bostonian Brownstones

Last weekend was a fun weekend/adventure much needed for my dad and I. We got lots of bonding time...since my sis had to work on Friday and Monday of our visit....and we had to stay an extra night, but I'll get to that later. This is my third visit to Boston and I got to take my new SLR with me! It was fun learning and practicing, but I also slowed the travel pack down a bit stopping so often. I still have a lot to learn.

To sum up the weekend, there was lots of father & daughter bonding time, several trips to Trader Joe's (a day), wine from Chile, Belgian beers in tiny glasses, snuggling up to Holiday Inn (better than White Christmas by the way), and lots of walking the city (its no Columbus you know, apparently we're in the top five for unfit cities!).

I'm still practicing editing photos in photoshop, hopefully they don't look overdone. Here are some of my favorites:

This picture was from our hotel on our extended stay. We ended up spending hours in the airport, and did get on a plane. They then made us all deplane and did cancel the flight until 5 hours later at 8pm. No so fun, but I did get some cool shots of the city.

Colorado

This is my first ever blog post, so here it goes...


I pulled up a few pics from my family's trip to Colorado in 2005. It doesn't seem like it's been that long. I completely fell in love and fantasize about moving there, but I guess I'm just too realistic. We rented an RV for a week and traveled around the state. Such a great vacay and beautiful scenery! Just doing some experimenting with retouching with photoshop.
