RANDOM POST

My mind it a little all over the place right now so that’s how the blogging is gonna be today.

 

Thank you all so much for the sweet comments, both here and on Tara’s blog.  I so appreciate each and everyone of you taking time out of your day to stop by and say hi.  I love the connections that I have made with you.  When I started blogging I never imagined that I would meet some of the sweetest, most talented women from all over the country.  I feel blessed.  You gals are the best.

March is here.

Can I get an Amen!!

There is light at the end of the tunnel.

But in order to get to that light we are wading through a lot of gross, sloppy muck right now.

Spring thaw is bad on our driveway.

Eric needs to get out and grade it.

A few times.

I had a photo session yesterday for the cutest little guy who is going to be 1 in a couple weeks.

Isn’t he adorable.

One of my favorites.

The lighting in their home was amazing. 

All I did was add a little sharpening to this one. 

I went to see Dear John a couple weeks ago.

Good movie.  I like his books and movies. 

Eye candy.

Since then I can’t get the beach out of my mind.

I could so move to the beach in a heartbeat!!

To walk the beach every morning would just be heaven on earth.

 

And I can hear this place calling my name.

Can you hear it?

“Traci, get down here.  You need to relax.  You need to sit on the swing in the morning, drink your coffee, read your book and watch the world wake up.”

My favorite spot when I am at the cabin.

 

This weekend I head to Starved Rock for a weekend filled with great friends, tons of laughter, way to much food, a little booze, piles upon piles of photos and lots of dollars worth of scrapbooking materials.

ScrapFest ’10 here I come.

I just need to pack – everything.

I am a procrastinator!!

 

So there you have it, a whole lot of nothing.

Have a wonderful day!!

xo!

    I am ready for spring too. These gray days are getting to me. I have done pretty good with the weather until the last few weeks. I think that after two months of now sunshine, it will do that to you. Have fun on your trip.
