Foto Friday: Week 38

We didn't do very much traveling for this Memorial Day weekend, so we had to make due with a tiny little trip with all our little bitties down to the corner IHop for breakfast. 

I'm sure the other girls of Foto Friday have waaay more exciting travel plans than I. Let's look, shall we?

Jessica Sprague 7 Days in May Challenge

Have you guys heard of Jessica Sprague? She's a fantastic Digital Scrapbooking Guru and the owner of one of the best scrapbooking sites around. 

I've been a part of her mailing list forever, but I finally checked out one of the newsletters she sent me and I found the most awesome challenge- 7 Days in May!

I figured it would be a good way for me to start thinking outside the box with what I generally create and start actually "scrapbooking" more and adding journaling to my photos and designs. So I dove right into the challenge and created this digital layout:

Designs used: Rhonna Designs Quatrefoil Papers, Persnickety Prints Tangerine Papers, Rhonna Designs Quatrefoil Kit for the photo mask, and the free journaling card download from Jessica Sprague. 

They have a new challenge today and a free download frame, so head on over there and join in the fun!

Foto Friday: Week 37

 I have wanted a Macro lens for sooooo long, so I borrowed my sister's Macro lens attachment- pretty confusing and hard to use :( So I just snapped on my 50 mm and got as close as I possibly could to my veggies I harvested this morning from our garden! Photographing the veggies might be my favorite part about gardening (um, after the eating ;)

Lemonade Teacher Gift

Penelope & Landen's Last Day of Preschool was Tuesday. We were so sad to see their Preschool teacher go, but we are so stinkin excited for the summer! I've been hoarding a ton of ideas to make this the best summer break ever for both me & my kids, I can't wait to share them all with you guys. But first, I'll share my impromptu teacher gift that I whipped up for Miss Crystal

I snagged the pitcher at Wal-mart, then swung by the produce section and grabbed some lemons & some fresh mint. I threw in a can of my mom's Lemonade Mix she juiced and mixed with a simple syrup from all her glorious lemons from her tree. I topped the jar with some directions, and added a wooden spoon I also grabbed from Wal-mart, and a tea towel embellished with my favorite yellow damask fabric I quickly sewed onto the towel. Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy gifting!

Her new Prize Winning Mom kit will be released tonight, so either stalk the Rhonna Designs site or sign up for her newsletter STAT so you can get crafting tomorrow!

Baby Update: 18 weeks

Here's a before & after pic of my "chalkboard" frame for my maternity shots. Landen wanted to help ;)

Now I must go and search for a Pear Cake recipe, which I have a sudden strange hankering for.

La La's Lemonade & Cupcakes

So, now that Olivia dressed up like a cupcake baker, all she's been asking to do is have a cupcake stand in the front yard. Of course, I'm happy to oblige and scour Pinterest for fabulous Lemonade & Cupcake Stand ideas. Here is the best of what I've found.

Brand Launch of the new Rosemary Watson Creative

Oh, I'm so happy to finally be launching this. My new blog, Rosemary Watson Creative will be filled with all my photography projects from my new company, Rosemary Watson Photography (which I showcased here a couple of weeks ago). I also have a new Facebook Page, so I'd love to have you all join me there! My new blog introduced to me a ton of new coding skills and techniques, and I'm still learning and will be adding to it as I go along. Once I'm happy with the outcome, I'll be giving my personal blog ( I Love Rosemary Watson) a makeover so stay tuned for that!

Also, I'm offering an awesome deal through May in case any of you are wanting to get family photos taken for Mother's Day! Email me and I can get your session booked!
