Hello Blog.....

I'm ever so sorry for not posting at all last week! And I apologize because it might be another week of little posting. I'm shutting down the store, so that has kind of taken priority for awhile.... I don't know yet how to put to words what I'm feeling about shutting down / I don't have the time to sit here and try to type it out when I'm up to my eyeballs in paper work and clothes haha. Once I'm done with everything,  have a few days to process and look for a new job I will share on here :)
But for now just a few random photos of what my days look like...... paper work, and walks.

A Tuesday Night (as seen through my phone)

Last night was a pretty normal night for me. Sewing, watched a movie, played some piano..... I didn't want to get out my big chunky camera to take photos so I decided to take them all with my phone. They aren't the best quality but I think that's why I like them so much.

Weekend Wrap Up

Saturday night sushi is awesome.... just saying.

After sushi we drove to Regina and sat in Mc Donalds (Starbucks was closed) waiting for Caleb's flight to get in.

(Jesse, Haley, Greta)

I didn't know what planking was so I got shown an example.

Sat in an airport.

Sandon surprised us and showed up in Regina too.

Sunday morning coffee/ Abby sleeping in her chair.

Possibly my new favorite top.

And after Sunday night service a few of us went to a park and ate cupcakes out of mason jars.

It was a wonderful weekend!

Feathers for Friday

After having feathers in my hair for over a month I finally took some out today! I did leave 5 in and will probably add more again sometime this weekend. But I'm impressed with how nice they stayed!(especially since I put them in myself haha) So I've decided to make DIY (do it yourself) feather packages. They will include everything you need to add feathers to your hair, instructions, and photos! Hopefully I can have a few ready to go later next week :)

While we're talking about feathers I'll show you guys how I used some to decorate!

I found these cute little jars at Salvation Army for $0.25 each and couldn't pass them up! I put a few crystals in the bottom (small rocks would look cute too), a couple feathers in each, and put them out on display.

I hope you have a lovely weekend!

p.s. like my daily reminder? It's one of the first things I see every morning when I wake up.

Taking Photos

I always have my camera on me, always! Some days I can have up to 3 in my purse at once (digital, disposable, and film)  you just never know when something beautiful will pop out of no where and I like to be prepared. Maybe I'm just weird haha but I love capturing something that someone else might just walk past and not even notice. For example the next 4 photos were just taken while I was out for walks.

I loved being able to stumble upon these images just as they were and capture them.

So now lets talk about taking photos for people...... this has always SCARED me! The nice thing about taking photos of "things" is that you don't have to figure out how to place them, and they can't talk so they won't tell you if they don't like the photo you took haha.

I was honoured a few weeks ago when a couple friends asked if I would take their maternity photos (part of me was super nervous!) The first thought that went through my head was -oh.my.goodness.I haven't done photos for people before.... what if they don't turn out....- But I got over that and said yes of course I would! I'm so happy I was able to capture this beautiful stage of their lives, and soooooo honoured that they allowed me to! :)

So that's it for my random post today. Hope your Thursday is Terrific!

Weekend Wrap Up

Sorry for being M.I.A. lately I've been crazy busy!! But, I wanted to quickly share a few photos from my long weekend before I get back to paper work. I got to go up to Saskatoon and see my little brother for a bit on Thursday/Friday, and then I headed down to Minot to watch the races on Sunday and Monday.(plus do a wee bit of shopping) :) It was a SUPER weekend! I'm beyond blessed to have such an amazing family and group of friends in my life. Spending time with them this weekend was just what I needed after a hard week. So if you guys happen to be reading this thank you for being so freaking awesome!!!!
I hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday!! ~ J.

Hello September

I can not believe how fast August went and September came!
As much as I love summer I'm starting to get excited for fall, and getting to wear sweaters, scarves, and boots  :)

(all these photos are from last Sept. and Oct.)

Points why I like fall:

• The pretty leaves
• Scarves
• Hot chocolate
• Fires
• Pumpkin Spice Lattes
• Not so many bugs
• Fall Photo Shoots are always great
• Going for walks

But I'm hoping the weather stays warm for us this weekend! I won't be posting tomorrow (as I'll be out of town) but I can't wait to come back and share about my many adventures I'll be taking this weekend!!

I hope you have a fabulous, and safe long weekend!! ~ J.
