looking forward, looking back




I know it's barely spring, but I am looking forward to the slow days of summer. Somehow, family life has reached the level of barely controlled chaos. Which is great in its own way, but still...
In an attempt to organize something in my life, I've been working on putting my favorite photos from 2008 into a blurb book. It's been fun revisiting these photos as they bring back great memories. Here are a few that remind me of those peaceful summer days!

Oh yay! I can't wait to see your finished book. I made a Blurb book last winter and really enjoyed the process!

i love your captures - they make me feel relaxed instantly. That painting is perfect too, i'm loving old board paintings so much, they keep cropping up and taunting me!
