Beach Polaroids

Here are a few mini-Polaroids taken while we were at the beach. The further away ones were taken by Parker. I didn't put the brightness setting high enough to the bottom left photo. Live and learn!

Romantic!

Toy Story

On Tuesday I brought some of my favorite mini books to work to show my trainer, Kristen. She is very nice and also asked to see the premiere ones, so I'll have to bring those this weekend. But now that I have a good amount of mini Polaroids, I've been meaning to create an album for them, especially after seeing the pretty ones other people have made. 

Yesterday during my fun errand run, I picked up this sad looking bear for Sasha at the Dollar Store. I have also been looking for some small bunny & sheep figurines for my own decoration display. I was only able to find this porcelain bunny at JoAnn Fabrics. Such a disappointment that with all the Easter decorations for sale, this was the only "cute" one I could find. (&&&.. I planted six new flowers ~ Phytomania, I know!)

Soft bear with the long torso has been added to Sasha's collection. Soon enough crucial body parts will be missing - such as the eyes from Frankenstein and Santa porcupine's nose! That's her way of showing them love. (I gave her a couple treats for posing.)

Tonight we are having a "dinner meeting" with Julie at Bahama Breeze to tell her our plans to move to North Carolina instead of Los Angeles, to see if she still wants to live with us for a year before we design & build our house (that's the current plan)! Also, Michael has a job proposition for her to see if she wants to be the secretary/manager of the new Special Make Up FX business that he & Osiris are talking about starting.

Mr. & Mrs. Leu

This weekend has been very nice. After Michael ran a few morning errands - for breakfast and to get flowers for his mom (he's such a sweetie pie!) we met Ms. Patty and Parker at the Peabody hotel to watch the Duck March. They ran down the red carpet pretty fast, luckily we had a warning. And I was still able to get this shot:

Then we went to the Harry P. Leu Botanical Gardens where Michael proposed. I've been wanting to go back for ages! The weather was hot, but the sunshine was enjoyable. We were worried that it would rain, but never got more than a few sprinkles. I have very much liked having Parker around to take all the digital photos on his Canon T2i because I feel like I can enjoy more of life when I don't have my face hidden behind a camera. However, I really do like having photo memories as well. Parker took a wonderful reenactment Polaroid of Michael and I in the "Cinderella area" where that special moment happened at 1:41pm on Saturday, September 25th 2010. There were more mini Polaroids taken, but these few were the prettiest. Michael took the gazebo one below. The light colors turned out much prettier when he over exposed it than when I first attempted it from a different angle.

Side note ~ I am currently obsessed with THIS Taylor Swift music video & am going to see if I can convince Julie to be my model for a related photo shoot in the near future.
