{Tattoo's and more}


William and I got matching tattoos for Christmas, because getting someone's name on your body permanently is just bad juju, I'm sure you know many a couple who got their significant others name tattooed on them and now they are no longer together - how embarrassing. 

Well, I didn't want that so we looked and looked and finally decided on two dragons forming a heart, the red one is for hubby and the blue is for me. Hubby wanted a celtic knot circle around us and I just wanted the dragons. They turned out AMAZING!

For my birthday I went back a few days later and got a cheshire cat on my other wrist. I love how it turned out! In January I will be getting one more for my grandparents who past.  Pictures will come when I get it done after the new year...can you believe in a few short weeks it will be 2014!!



My mom got me interested in Persimmons and I have been eating them like crazy, I just can't get enough of them. They are super yummy and just what I want right now. I must be missing something in my diet if I am craving them sooo bad, glad they taste good!! You should try one. Just a quick note, this is a fuyu persimmon and tastes good no mater it's ripeness the others are bitter and dusty if not properly ripened.


My girls have been wanting me to paint their nails with dots, so of course I oblige and have taken to doing the same for myself too. I use a dental pick to apply the dots, its the perfect tip and easy to clean afterwards too, plus they are super cheap and reusable. The girls nails look amazing but mine as you can see from the photo below could use some work, but I don't care too much since I did it myself with a three year old trying to "help" me paint...haha

{My Month in Review}

I was a vendor at Nampa's Art Festival this year and shared a booth with 3 other wonderful artists - this is my table.

this little moth loved our booth

His wings reminded me of bits of twigs

He loved my dolls too

Sorry loves drinking out of the faucet, she prefers her water strait from the tap

I asked Myrna to quit moving but as you can see, she doesn't listen

I just adore this little face


She finally crashed in my lap

My hair is now long enough for pigtails

this is what I wore for my booth since most of the other booth mates were steampunkers
I made 3 ingredient banana cookies: 1 cup oatmeal, 2 smushed up bananas and a handful of chocolate chips mix well then bake at 350* for 15 min.

dehydrated some ripe bananas for the kids

this is my new to me dehydrator

mmmm, banana chips!

{It has been a while}

Alot has happened in the time I last wrote until now. Let's see, since I last wrote I got everyone who was staying with us out of our house, closed my photography business, started up my crafting in it's place (but mostly as a hobby), found a new home for Ceasar (due to him not liking Myrna and peeing everywhere he could - I know another dog down but he was found an amazing home thru a pug rescue with a loving lady who has time to retrain him to not pee inside plus she is kid free), William got a puppy, we bought a new car and fixed up our backyard. 

Life has been crazy insane and hectic but we made it thru, a little more insane because of the crazy chaos but that only makes life interesting, right?  Below are some pictures from my camera phone because during this "break" I put my camera down and never picked it back up and then downsized it and I am sorta starting to get out of my photography funk and pick up my camera but it will still take time to get back to where I was before (thousands of pictures over the course of a year).

Over the course of this next school year, I will probably write about our homeschooling experiences since I am going to be homeschooling the oldest 3 using K12 Idaho virtual Academy. FUN!!

Pictures below start from oldest to newest. Enjoy!!




Sam turned 10! Crazy, right!!
