new name pictures

I started doing the name pictures again today. I have 60 names to do so it may take a few days. And when I went to do the pictures I could not find the name beads I had been using previously. I have looked everywhere I cannot imagine where they have gone. I had all the picture stuff together in one spot... But no letter beads to be found. So I had to change the way I do the pictures just slightly I hope everyone still likes them.

I used Martha Stewart Glitter Pens, 6-Pack

Getting caught up

Without my camera I could not take the pictures that I do. I love my camera, I take it everywhere with me. One of the things I have to carry all my camera equipment is my awesome backpack made by 

cannon I got off of amazon. I love this case I have never had any problems at all with it.

Today I am getting ready to do name pictures. To do these I use a mirror with sand on it.

I have a poster in the background of an ocean scene and I make an new scene for every picture. Which you can imagine takes time. Each scene contains a name and random selected items such as shells, beads, small animals, fairies and similar items. 

This is my craft room which is undergoing a remodel this week. So I can have all my stuff together. I love to do so many crafts and they have been pretty much always all over the house in different areas so Im trying to get it all in the same room. 

Some of the things I love to do are scrap booking, making things with polymer clay, taking pictures of course, collecting stamps, collecting lots of different things like;Angels, ducks, dragonflies, butterflies, roses, boxes, coins, currency, and postcards. I am also the family history buff and have enjoyed finding out about my Mormon ancestors that came over on the Mormon trail and my 5th great grandfather who had 4 wives (at the same time).   So I have all the family genealogy information. 

I love technological gadgets and have all the latest. 

My kindle came first, I only use it to read books on.

 Then I got an I-pad 2

I love them both!

I also have 

which I would like to use more than I do, which has been never so far...

But I'm going to use it more I promise! And I will share those adventures with you.

So now I'm off to start on some names, I will post them later, and I am posting them in the order they came in. Due to a busy life I have been behind on the names. I am sorry and I will get them done.

Thanks for your time

have a nice day

A new idea

I want to start blogging on the crafts I have done and the pictures I have taken in my healing journey. I have found that having a hobby is very beneficial. After the loss of my grand daughter I entered into a world I had never been to before. So I started taking pictures, after entering into the photography program at my local college I found Carly's site. I loved her pictures but knew I could never do anything like that so I started taking pictures at home of names in front of a scene.   I bought my first DSLR a Canon Rebel XS 10.1MP Digital SLR Camera with EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens (Black) I must say I absolutely love this camera! With a few extra lenses and some other photo equipment I was taking pictures. 
Im going to keep taking my pictures for people and also adding my own things I like to do for a hobby, to relax, to get away, to think of other things, you name it! 
I have a love for polymer clay  I have been working on some various ideas to personalize and offer for sale. 
I also love mixed media art .
I will be adding pictures of my projects and talking about the various products I buy and use.
Till we meet again
have a nice day
~hugs~  

summer break

Im so sorry for my absence I have been busy with school, I now am on summer break and will be getting all the names on the list done. I will be doing a few at a time so I am not going to post them all at once. I am thinking of some new ideas and would like to make some custom name things to offer for sale as well as keeping the free pictures in the sand. Keep an eye out in the next week for my ideas and the name pictures to be getting started.

moving

Everything I own is now in a box. I will be moving this week and should be able to get back to doing names before Christmas. Thank you for your patience. Hope you all have a nice Thanksgiving.
