I know, I know...I have kind of disappeared from blogging...AGAIN. My excuse is the same as it always is...life just gets really busy sometimes and since blogging isn't my top priority it usually is the first thing to get dropped. It is what it is. BUT, I'm here today! :)
Warning: this post contains a lot of Louie pictures. I can't say I am sorry about this because we just think he is so darn cute and lovable! But if you are tired of seeing our furry child then maybe you should just come back another week! Otherwise, sit back, grab a cup of coffee and stay awhile!
Louie has been so cute and playful this week. Last week we were dealing with a stomach bug that had us up at all hours of the night cleaning our carpets-fun, right? Thankfully he is on meds now and must be feeling better because he has been acting more and more like himself. We are so thankful to see him behaving normal and with his tail wagging. I love it!
Last weekend my mother-in-law, Bev hosted a Mary-Kay party and has asked me to make cupcakes. Of course I said that was no problem! They were moist with lots of pretty pink frosting-perfect for a girlie make-up party! We even had left overs, which I think Stephen ate the last one last night.
Speaking of cupcakes, I am trying to work on photographing my cupcakes with my new Canon Rebel and its been a little difficult. I can't seem to find the right natural light for picture taking...it's either too light or to dark. Any tips/suggestions out there?
This is totally random, but on the way to the above mentioned Mary-Kay party we drove through a little town that I have always admired because of it's mill. Stephen was nice enough to slow down to 10MPH so I could snap a picture. He didn't want to stop on the road, so 10 was the agreed upon mileage, ha! Isn't it quaint and pretty? They do tours on Saturday mornings and I hope to go one day...maybe soon?
Louie has so much fun when we are outside. He runs and plays and just lays around. I think that he really enjoys it. That is until our neighbors dog, Emily comes over (yes, our neighbor has a dog named Emily...yes, its a little awkward)...and when she does come over Louie will hide under a tree or in the bushes. It's quite funny! Well, he got to spend a lot of time outside this weekend while we worked on a big landscaping project...to be revealed later!
One hint about the project: the materials weigh about a ton combined!
Do you love flowers as much as I do? I love how they can brighten a space and make even a ugly house cheerful. I picked up these hanging baskets at Wal-Mart for $3! Talk about being thrilled with that find! We just love how they look hanging on our front lamp post. Spruces it up wouldn't you say?
And lastly, the before shot of our front flower bed. You will have to wait and see the after...because we are still working on it. This project is a multiple day project, ha! I CANNOT wait to have it finished and see how pretty it is!
Have a happy Thursday everyone...I am so happy the week is almost over!

Sounds like you guys have been busy! Can't wait to see your landscaping!
As far as the right light for photographing cupcakes, my advice to you would be to put them by a window and use the natural light from the window. Also, try practicing shooting in manual mode, because you get the best exposure from shooting manual!
Those cupcakes look delish! The frosting is so perfect!! I can't wait to see the after!!
what part of indiana are you from? found you on kelly's korner. i'm from souther indiana :)
You are so adorable. I love your flowers, your house, your decor, and especially your precious doggy!!! For my Canon Rebel, I try to use a lot of natural light and leave the flash off (landscape setting), but I know nothing about photography. :)
