Free Books! Seriously, FREE books.

A pal 'o mine is moving to another state and doesn't want to pack fourteen gazillion books so she is giving some away. She is a YA author so some of them are for young adults. (Though I don't know which ones as I am not an avid reader. She can read an entire book in the time it takes me to finish two chapters) Take a peek-see and contact her if you want some free reads!

Also, while you are over there look at her hilarious Self-Depricating Sunday posts. They will take you back in time and make you think either "oh I remember that fad" or "thank god I never wore that"!

I've got nothing to giveaway but this girl does! and it rocks.

Go check out this awesome giveaway from waterstone jewelry.

Such a cute wristlet. It's the perfect shade of brown and looks soft like butta... I think my favorite part is the stitched stem. Clever.

I've been making images since jr high when my parents bought a real, interchangeable lens camera! They got me my very own, fully manual Pentax K1000 in highschool and learned how to develop my own film and photographs and became the photo editor of my newspaper and yearbook. Nerd! I was hooked and haven't stopped shooting photos wherever I go since. I did my internship in college for a major company shooting "news" for their newsletter. I wish I had stuck with it. But for now I photograph my friends and family, their kids, and of course my own daughter. I must have the camera in my face a lot because as I was doing a '18mo' shoot for Ani, she grabbed one of my lenses and acted like she was taking a picture of me. So cute I had to share. I wonder if she'll love it like I do, or if she'll plan someone's financial future like daddy. They couldn't be more opposite! We shall wait and see... but I think this puts a check mark in mama's column. And, no i've not caught her counting cash yet so there are no marks for daddy. :evil snicker:

Oh! And the absolutely adorable bunny top? It's from my previously featured etsy store - bellabini. So cute, and so well crafted!! Check her out.
