Project Looking Through - Take 2 - Girls

My 2nd installment of PLT. Took these last night at the same time I took yesterday's installment.

Looking through the window at the girls on the trampoline. Not sure what Demon #1 was screaming at here, as they never saw me taking the picture.
This is a shot that I don't get often... the demons getting along and looking like angels.
and, of course, the dog. Saki wanted to know what was so interesting out the window... so here is Saki looking through a window!

Project Looking Through - Mom

A new project started up over at a blog I just recently discovered thanks to Karen!. It's called Project Looking Through (PLT). It took me all day to figure out something to do... but I did and I'm pretty proud if I can say so myself!

This is really the only picture I have of my mom, a decent pic anyway. I wrote about her & pictures awhile back. It's in my bookshelf, which is enclosed in glass - so I have to look through the glass to see the picture.

Also included in this picture is the stuffed kitty that I got from my brother when I was 16, which I refer to as my "Bunkie kitty".

The tiger baby is in memory of my best friends baby that passed away at the age of 9 days - her name was Katarina, which I called her KittyKat.. being the cat freak that I am. How dare my best friend name her daughter something with "Kat" in it and not expect me to get KittyKat from that! :)

There is also a knick-knack of a dalmatian & another one that is a golden retriever - for my dalmatian, Smokey, that I had when I was little and the golden... my Max, which I've talked about here, also.

Say wha? Colors

Have you ever wondered if everyone sees colors the same way? Do you see red as I see red? Do you see yellow as I do? Is my red your yellow? Or is your yellow my green?

Is there really a way to be sure? If we've spent our lives seeing red as what we believe to be red, then how can we know the difference?

Just something to think about...

Parenting on the brain

I have so many new readers that I feel I need to explain why occasionally I put these random graphic things up! I am a work-at-home-mom, with my own business. I own/run two different online stores that sell t-shirts & other gifts. I create all of the images on the products.
So along with photos and general ramblings, I will sometimes throw in what I've been working on for my stores.

The website addresses are - InsanityWear & SledderWear (a store that has exclusive snowmobile designs). I do requests & personalizations, too, so if you are ever in the need for a unique gift for someone... you know where to find me!

Also got a "Mom's Sidekick" one :)

Also got a "Baby Mommy" and "Baby Grandma" one :)

Wordless Wednesday

Not so wordless, but....

Wordless... kinda

Need more to do!!!!!

Does anyone participate or know of any fun blog memes - I still am freaked out by that word - or whatever you want to call them?

I've joined the Manic Monday one, then I've got PhotoHunters on Saturday and two (Camera Critters & Weekly Winners) on Sunday. I would like at least two between Monday and Saturday.

Open for suggestions....

Manic Monday - another first! *BUD*

Shhh... don't look at the calendar... for a moment let's pretend it's still yesterday.

I've been seeing the Manic Monday meme all over the place for the last few weeks, but never actually clicked on a link to take myself there. Probably because I knew what would happen.
I'd do it.
The rules are fairly simple:

Visit It's A Blog Eat Blog World any time after 4pm EST on Fridays to discover Monday's theme word. This will be a word with multiple definitions.

Use one of the definitions to inspire your Manic Monday Post = perhaps a photograph, a story, a joke, or a stream of consciousness paragraph inspired by the word. Be creative, and have fun with it.

This week the word is "Bud". I thought ok, I'll have to do this next week, it will be kinda fun. Then laying in bed last night I thought about it... I already did Bud and I did it on Monday!
Yesterday, my Camera Critters choice was a picture of Demon #1 and Oliver.... who she calls Buddy! I already had my bud and didn't even know it.
I should have went with the other things I was thinking of, too. Bud, as in best bud, which is my bestest friend in the whole world, Missy. Or my best never-met-in-person bud, Kimberella. I guess Oliver is one of Taryn's buds, since she calls him Buddy.

I think the world needs more buds.

Mother's Day Gift Ideas!

Need some ideas for Mother's Day gifts? I've got 'em, really I do!
Thats what I'm working on today... here's a sneek preview.

Remember... I do personalization & requests too...

Camera Critters (my 1st one! Two firsts today!)

I'm in trouble... look what I found. A meme that is all about critters!

What exactly is a "meme" anyway, can someone give me a definition on that one?

So the rules are - I have to take a picture of a critter. I don't know if I can do that, do you?

Funny... I took one today. Let the 13 year old demon join Facebook today. Mainly so I could have another member on my Oregon Trail wagon and so someone could help me take care of my baby, Ayla. You gotta be there to understand, I guess. Well, she didn't have a decent picture of herself for her profile picture so she asked me to take a picture of her and "Buddy", who is Oliver but she refers to him as "Buddy" - and it's said in a really high pitched scream/whine. I cannot believe the cat answers her. It's her cat.

Weekly Winners: April 5-April 12

My first Weekly Winners submission.

Mickey in my living room..

Poor robin... where's the sunshine?

Enjoying the last snow day!

PhotoHunt - Twist(ed)

I walked around the house this morning trying to find something twist(ed) for this week's PhotoHunt. I didn't want to do a rope, because I'd seen that had already been done, so I kicked the dog's toy rope to the side and kept looking. Then I saw it. My daughter.

Twisted.

She is. But we are going to go at it from a different angle.

"Here, pose for me"

"Not again, Mom!"

She has normal fingers & toes, btw. I just torture my kids for photographic purposes!
