Last week I had the amazing priviledge of shooting an engagement session for a dear friend, who also happens to be one of my favorite people in the world… I thought I’d share a few of my favorites, from the shoot…
Category: Misc.
ok… I’ve done some thinking and Rainy Day in may isn’t going anywhere quite yet… but i am going to revamp it a bit, over time… I think I just need a break, of sorts… but a new post is coming soon!
oh my dear blog…
I feel like this blog has run it’s course.
I’ve heard that happens, and i think that, in this case, it has. Not only have I lost so much of my passion for it, but I find myself so often staring at a blank cursor.
I am contemplating starting a different sort of blog, which would deserve an entirely different beginning. Maybe less public. There are many amazing women that I’ve met through this blog, whom I’d love to share that with… If you are interested in moving with me, to a new blog, please email me at rainydayinmay{at}gmail{dot}com…
And thank you for reading. It’s been a journey over beautiful years, multi states, heart aches, joys and so much more…
a dose of creativity…
I am not a crafty person, by nature. In fact, I have to say that crafts in general sort of turn me off. Show me a good piece of furniture restoration or a uniquely awesome interior design project and I’m super excited…
But to be clear- plastic canvas does not equal awesome interior design project…
I could walk through thousands of art museums, pour over art exhibits and countless books on artists- with genny- but sit us at the kitchen table with some construction paper and a glue stick and i sort of go numb in the brain and start drooling.
it’s just, simply put, not my thing.
I’m not a scrapbooker. I’ve made them. i’m not horrible at making them, but they don’t hold my interest. However…
As a writer, i love paper. All things paper. And paper crafting, (scrapbooking aside) sort of rocks my minimally artistic nature. It’s fun, in an obsessive way. It’s a creative outlet that works for me.
After months, (literally) of debating about it and going back and forth in my decision- I decided to join my girlfriend’s monthly card club. I second guessed my decision all the way through missing the June meeting and making my way to the July one.
But- i liked it. I like the magic of doing a project together and learning from the creativity of others. Plus, i got lots of paper, which is like crack to me- so it worked well. (but in a completely less self destructive way than crack- DOUBLE bonus!)
Every month, at the meeting, the club does a card swap where each member distributes cards (one design) for each person. I came home with a stack of great cards. Anyway, this was my July contribution to the card swap. If you look close there is a little design faintly behind the Eiffel tower. They are ok, not my favorite at all. When I sat down to make 8 cards, my brain flow literally froze. I was totally intimidated, imagining that I would be walking into a room full of the Divincis, Van Goghs and Monets of cardmaking- but as it turns out, I’m ok. :)
So ok, in fact, that i came home and made my August swap cards. :) (yes, i am actually AHEAD in something!) Oh yeah, and i totally registered for a really cool workshop for paper crafting too. :)
July:
