My Weekend: Grandmother's Baby Shower & More

Monday, June 1st, 2009

Well, I was out of town this weekend so I didn’t get any editing done for my fabulous & oh, so patient friends (you know who you are!).

However, I had a fantastic weekend! Chris & I went to visit my mom & I attended her “Grandmother’s Baby Shower”. I hadn’t heard of this idea before, but I think it’s both fun & practical so it has my approval. Since my beautiful sister-in-law, Caleb, & their little boy Noah, who is about 2 months from joining this side of the world, live a few hours from my mom, her friends at work threw her a party so she could gather some necessary items to have at her house for little Noah’s arrival & visits.


This duck works not only as an ice cream holder, but also can be used as a baby bath tub. Cute, right?

Some (literally) yummy details!

This is a list of names for “grandmother” from other countries.

Here’s my sweet mother mocking me because I had trouble getting pictures with her eyes OPEN! : )

Yes, she’s playing with a teddy bear puppet.
Doesn’t she look like the best grandmother?

A lovely “Sock Corsage”, again, I’d never heard of it, but I thought it was adorable!

One last little detail.


Obviously not the baby shower. We visited the HSU campus so I played with perspective shots. Just because. I can. : )


These last two are just the gorgeous lighting as we were headed to visit my mom & the sky line of West Texas! I love Texas. : )

I haven't Forgotten you!

From Blogger:

Oh my little blog & all of my awesome blog readers, I haven’t forgotten you. : )

And I haven’t moved to Wordpress without telling you. That’s still in the works. But I’ve been busy doing other important things. Like sleeping, eating fabulous food & being on the beach…

Not sure what I mean? Here’s a photo hint:


Me & my fabulous Husband! : D

Anyway, if you want to see more, I’ve got some photos up on Facebook & Flickr.

I’ll have more updates soon. (I have a few fabulous sessions from earlier in the year with friends that are the BEST & most patient! Ever! Seriously.) And that move to Wordpress is still pending.. but don’t worry, I’ll keep you posted on that too!

Exhibit

Thursday, April 23rd, 2009

I will have an official exhibit up in the TTU School of Art. It’s on Flint & 18th (more or less) and if you enter through the South Side door, you’ll be in the middle of my work. (The School of Art is the 1 story building, not the super tall one on that intersection).

I’d love for all of my seniors & couples to go & see because about 95% of you from this year are in it! : )

It’ll be up from April 27th – May 9th. If you’re coming to my graduation (on May 9th) then we’ll all be going over there afterward (we all means my family & anyone else interested). But you don’t have to wait until the last day. Swing by & bring all your friends & tell them how awesome I am! : ) Or you can just take them & they can actually decide for themselves what they think (I’d go that route personally, but someone has to do my self-promotion).

I think I’m going to leave a little sample on here, mostly because posts are best with eye candy. However, maybe it’ll convince someone to stop by.

P.S. to everyone whose image is in the exhibit – if you like your image & are interested in buying it, do contact me about it. I promise to give a reasonable price & you can then have a unique image of yourself that was famous (haha) enough to be in an exhibit. — Oh, and the frame is included, you’ll be getting exactly what’s on the wall at the exhibit. : )

Edit: Here are the Exhibit times:

Monday – Friday 8:00am – 5:00pm

Saturday 10:00am – 5:00pm :: Sunday 12:00pm – 4:00pm

Parking:

BTW everyone – if you’re not going on the weekend, the best idea for parking is to go to the top level of the parking garage (near the light on 18th & flint) and pay the meter (50 cents to a dollar) to park. I don’t want anyone to get a ticket & Tech can be grumpy about their parking.

There is also parking right in front of the building, & the … Read Moreprice to park is the same but there aren’t usually open spots.

Finally, there maybe a free place to park but you’ll have to go to the Parking Booths (they’re in the middle of the street – one on 18th and Boston & one furher up Flint) and ask them because I can’t park anywhere for free since I’m a student.
