Faux Macro...

I received a wonderful Valentine's Day gift from Matt... extension tubes!  Unfortunately, this set needs to be sent back, but my new and improved ones should be here in a few days.  But before I package these babies up tonight and bring them to the UPS drop-off, I played a bit with these flowers that are making my bathroom smell lovely.

I'm practicing macro for our vacation... we will be at Disney during the Flower & Garden show which always proves to have absolutely beautiful flowers and displays.  I always see flowers that I've never seen before there, and I can't wait to photograph them.  I'm looking forward to playing more on Wednesday when the new tubes arrive!

I Heart Faces Challenge: Hearts!

This week's challenge at iheartfaces.com is "hearts"... so fitting!  :)  This is my heart; she walks, talks, dances, sings and plays, all outside of my body.

Trying New Things

Being stuck in the house during these snowstorms has really pushed my level of toddler creativity to new heights.  That's saying a lot, because I don't consider myself overly creative when it comes to activities with Lily.  I wish I was more so, but I think I might be missing that gene.

So when Lily said "want" to the crafts on top of the fridge, I prayed that she wanted play-doh.  Nope.  Crayons, foam shapes... not even the coveted markers would do.  She refused them all with a sneaky smile on her face.  Then I asked, "paint?".  Oh, yeah...



Can someone tell me why I even bothered to get the q-tips out?  Did I really think she was going to use them? 

Notice the Elmo tattoo... Could be worse!
