3 for Thursday!

With the 4th of July just days away, I thought I'd share 3 web sites, 1 gives you tips on photographing fireworks and 2 that have spectacular fireworks photos!

The first site, Photojojo.com (I love this site!) offers 11 Tips for Taking Sparkling Fireworks photos!

This next site, BetterPhoto.com, has pages of Fireworks Photos! Very inspiring!

And this last one, digitalpicturezone.com, has 35 Spectacular Fireworks Photos. Spectacular indeed!

Have a safe and Happy 4th of July!

Monday Musings

So, it's raining yet again here in Massachusetts! I believe we had 3 total days in June that had "more sun than clouds". Seriously, enough already, please! And all of those rainy days aren't including April or May (when we usually have rain here!)

So, because it's raining again, I have begun working on some new items for my Etsy Shop! I will be introducing a new eco-friendly line of cards that I'm very excited about! The cards and envelopes are 100% recycled material, and the company that makes them uses wind power as well (more about that later). Also, I will be offering checkbook covers as well as some other items.

I really just want the rain to stop so I can get out of the house and play with my camera, work in the yard, get more of my veggies planted, etc.... but for now, I'm stuck inside so I may as well be productive. I look forward to sharing my new goodies with everyone soon :)

The Jeep

When I opened up our shop on Etsy I let everyone know that any of the proceeds from Nicolas' sales would be going towards his purchase of his first vehicle. He has had his heart set on getting a Jeep and has been saving every little bit he makes and has been searching Craigs List and Ebay for months. He won't be driving for a few more months, but he found "the" Jeep! It's supposed to be delivered tomorrow! He's around $200 short, so we're lending him the money to cover it. Hopefully he can make a few more sales to pay us back :) I'll be sure to get pictures tomorrow of him with his new toy! I'm also trying to add more of Nicolas' photographs to our Etsy shop, he looks at things so uniquely!
