Cosmos Flowers in Kin

We all drove up to the cosmos again this year! Logan got to come this time and we got some great pictures!

I love Design

Sometimes I like to play around with photoshop! In fact, that is what my husband refers to as "my game" because I think it is so much fun to wast time on! 

As I was learning how to make watercolor backgrounds I remembered a picture of whales I'd seen on Pinterest. So I made this loosely based on that. I love it! I think I'll have it printed and find a place to hang it up in the house. 

Just last week my niece had a Star Wars themed birthday party and I got to make this birthday invitation! Next to attending the party, I thought this was a pretty fun way to help my sister with the it!

I really have so much fun making things like this. Sometimes I think it would be way fun to have an Etsy shop for prints, invitations and clip art but when you go on there it is so saturated with stuff like that I don't think there would be much new I could offer. 

My other problem is that I have a ton other hobbies that I bounce in between. Some weeks it is editing a photoshoot, blogging, I still have a quilt to finish binding, Connor's baby book and recently I've taken up the role of "master baker" for my little sister's wedding and have been working on perfecting my cupcake recipe and frosting technique. I guess I'm just doomed to love too many things. 

Adventure Group: Miyagi and Ikei Island

I was really brave and went out with the Adventure Group this week. It was early and a little far away so I hadn't planned on going the day before. That morning I was woken up by what sounded like banging on my door but no one was there by the time I checked. So I went back upstairs and got back in bed but I was wide awake. Then 40 minutes before I needed to meet up I decided I would just go! I showered packed us breakfast and lunches plus things to keep Connor entertained and then woke him up, changed him and threw him in the car! We totally made it to the meet up spot on time! So off we drove over the bridge to the little island chain next to Okinawa.
