Welcome to the biggest battle of the year!

Good vs. Evil

The preverbal David vs. Goliath! A battle years in the making.

In one corner we have the grand daddy of all piss offs. the rain on her parade.

Anxiety.!!!! (insert booing noise)

In the other corner…

the underdog that refuses to give up.

the one that keeps coming back for more.

crystal!!!! ( i hope your making that haaaaaaa fanfare noise)

Seriously?….. January 15, 2011

So it sits… my office… in a fairly close state to where it was. Now, i’ve gotten down there a few times. But the more I try the more i realize it’s a futile effort. between sprownie stuff and the kids it’s a disaster on a good day.

I read somewhere “Cleaning the house while your kids are still growing is like shovelling the walk before it stops snowing.”

So true.

i think i should get rid of the toys… or the kids

Operation Organization January 4, 2011

So… Challenge number 1….

Isen’t it obvious?  I mean, where the hell is the desk top? So while I have a SHORT time between new years and when sprownies (code word for my spark and brownie groups that run back to back) starts, I’m going to try to clean up my office. I love the small square where my laptop can sit.

There’s a window there, that’s covered in wondrous piles of random crap.

There’s the fancy new printer copier fax in the corner that you can’t see because it has a binder on it.

What you don’t see in this picture is the 2 shelves and pantry unit just to the right of the picture that i’m pretty sure has not even 1 square inch of free space. Things randomly stacked, shoved and smooshed in to what tiny space I can get it in.

So I guess here is where I start. Organize my office before i organize my life. I find when my office is a mess my brain gets cluttered for sprownies. When that happens, it steam rolls.

SO… I challange you to do the same. Take a picture of your office/craft room and post a link in the comments section.

Be sure to tune in next week for operation organize…. the sequel.

New year, new project January 2, 2011

Ya, like i needed another project right?

Originally this blog started as a way to showcase some sneak peaks of some of my photography clients. But, since I never remember to get them up…this year my blog is taking on a whole new meaning.

 

While reading the Province newspaper this afternoon I found myself reading my “yearly”  horoscope. Now, I have never really relied much on what my horoscope tells me. Like most things i read, it is taken with a grain of salt. However one thing stood out to me in such a way that I felt the need to act on it.

“I am happiest using my powers to benefit others.”

Now, First things first. About me…

I am a wife, a daughter, a sister and a mother.

I take my daughter to dance, and soon, my son to hockey.

I am a spark leader, a brownie leader and a district commisioner with the Girl guides of Canada.

I am a PAC mom, and help there when I can, both in the elementary school and in the preschool.

I train my dog pepper, in agility with hopes that we will be ready to trial late next year.

I love to cook, scrapbook, make cards and photograph people.

I live a battle each and every day with an anxiety disorder that has left me housebound and praying for an end.

Every day I get one step closer to freedom.

I am me.

Sneak Peak March 24, 2009

I had the pleasure of meeting the L family this past weekend for some shots of their upcoming babe. 

 They were so nice and mom was so fun to shoot! So was their adorable little girl!

Waiting for my train to come in. February 20, 2009

Bub and i went out to Fort Langley today to play with the new urbanish portrait vibe i’ve got going.

Unfortunetly, despite a few decent pictures he was less then impressed with the trip.

Poor guy. lucky for him it’s his sisters turn next.

Load up the U-Haul August 21, 2008

As of September 1, we will no longer residing where i have for the last 8 years. In the only home my daughter has known. The home where my son was born. And where my husband and I have started our lives together as a family.

On the upside, i will have my own space. My own office. A space for shooting. Storage. now to find lights…..

I’ll start booking sessions for the middle of september.
