Summer Blahs

While the rest of the country gets moody in the winter, I feel like it is the opposite here in Arizona. Triple digit temperatures all day, every day wear on you after a while. We are all trapped inside for most of the day and getting in and out of a hot car is nearly unbearable.

I have been feeling a distinct lack of motivation in most creative areas of my life. In all areas, actually. We have been going through some changes lately and it is hard to get back on track.

Anyone out there have tips to get the motivation back? This is my first step.

Ella Turns 1!

Our little friend, Ella, turns 1 today and Saturday was her magnificent ladybug-themed birthday party.

Here is a little tidbit for you...

P.S. I really can't wait until she gets a little older. I have my eye on some excellent play-doh sets. Just ask my husband, I was drooling over the toy section of Target.

August Breaking

I'm trying out this idea Susannah had called August Break as an way to get the creative juices flowing.

Here is the flickr group if you want to enjoy everyone's photos.

And here's my first attempt (iPhone camera, hipstamatic app)

The idea is simple: take photos during August and upload them to flickr and/or your blog. Then, enjoy.
