Found it!

As I sit here watching Avatar for the umteenth time during this holiday season...it is the new version so there is something like 16 minutes of new footage which is, in fact, a bonus. Anesa announces at the beginning of even new scene..."new part" which was really funny, cute and I thought intelligent until we started our multiple viewings then it was just kinda funny, kinda cute and the jury is still out about the intelligent part. I just happened stumbled on the review that I have been searching and searching for. Here are some images from the review and the link below....

Here is the link to the review of the 3 bags...http://angs3six5.blogspot.com/

Now I am torn as she says that the hobo is not as padded and that could pose to be a problem for me...lol!

Gotta {heart} holidays!

I LOVE holidays!
I have been surfing the net over the last 2 days and have found some projects that I want to start in the New Year!
First thing I want to get done is my digital album which seems to loom over me like a bad case of body odor!
Next I want to redo our buffet that has been housed downstairs in the "danger" zone...will have to go through every drawer as Rowyn has taken to stuffing things in every hiding spot she can find!
Another thing that I want to tackle is our pantry....I am really disappointed with it and it drives me nuts...secretly of course ;) I wanted our builder to do something different with it because I knew that it would not be functional but being the push over that I am I let him convince me that it was totally what I wanted (I am sure it took him all of 5 seconds to sway me). I have many other things on my to do list but will only post 3 b/c if hubby looks he will have a conniption fit and avoid me like the plague in hopes that he will get out of doing any work...lol!
Last but not least I would like to order a new camera bag that can will double as a purse...I would love to have it before we go South during Easter break....so....
Here is the picture that has me leaning away from the ginger...it just seems so bulky to me and I don't want to be lugging around a suit bag (as my kids would call it)!

Does it look too bulky? Not sure if I would like to carry it around as my every day satchel? And lets be honest...there is a slim to none chance that I am going to have the lens that she is shooting with attached to my camera...EVER...so maybe I don't need that much room....

Now that I sort of have it narrowed down here are my other options that I like...

b-hobo in Muted Teal

OR

b-hobo in Almost Black

Can't Decide!

Me and my indecisiveness...lol! Can't decide between these 2 camera bags but want to order it asap!


Kelly Moore b-hobo in Muted Teal

OR

Epiphiane Ginger in Black

What do you think?
I am leaning towards the b-hobo...for this minute anyway ;)

And I thought they didn't look alike!

Anesa had way more hair but after looking through some pictures from 2 summers ago I have to say that the girls look alike! Never thought that before and now looking back at Anesa's pics from that age they look very similar...Anesa has darker hair and skin but there are some similarities!
Can you tell who is who!?!?! LOL

Try... Try... Again...

I have been trying to figure out how to order pictures online and I am having serious trouble...lost my information 3 times! Going to have to call the helpline and THAT is going to be painful as I avoid the phone at all cost! Hope to get it done tomorrow night!
ARGGGGGGGG!

Decisions ~ Decisions ~ Decisions

Anyone who knows me knows that I don't like to make decisions! I can't even order prints for crying out loud...because I can't decide which ones I like! So I just haven't printed any pictures off for 18 months!!!! 18 MONTHS...that is CRAZY! So now I am going to have to develop 2000 loonies worth of pictures and try and put them in albums...otherwise why take a zillion pictures?!? I have decided that I am going to take the plunge and order some pictures that I have taken over the last year or so. I am going to order most of the prints small and then see if they are good enough to enlarge but I livin' on the edge and ordering a few on masonite as I want to see what they look like!
Here are some pics of ornamental onions! I have been fooling around with textures and of course I can't decide which on I like the best(even though the difference i miniscule). Just wondering which one you like best?












I want to get pictures on masonite of the girls for our bedroom! What about these or are they too cheesy?!? I have them edited in a chocolate brown...what do you think?:-}

Textures!

Why couldn't I have a cheaper hobby...I don't know like knitting, planting herbs or cross stitching?!? Thanks Jana for helping me figure out textures...looks like I am going to have to buy some that suit my fancy!

Happy Halloween!!!

Cakes...

Thanks for making the cakes Jodie...they were delicious!
Anesa's Cake

WOW! Can't believe Rowyn is 2! You will always be my baby (even thought I want to erase the first 18 months from my memory ;)

I've Been A Slackin'

This going back to work thing has put a damper on my blogging ;) It was on my list to catch up this weekend but seeing that I didn't do any thing else on my list I figure I am doing pretty good! Went to try and get some pics of the girls in this sweet, evening light! Went out yesterday and took on the wind while the girls played at the park! Today went out with a good friend and we tried to capture our kids on the move!


My FAVORITE pic! Thanks lady ;)


Anesa posing for her pictures :)


Love this pic even though it is overexposed!!
