Double Take Thursday

Happy Thursday everyone!!! Gettin excited for iNSD this weekend???? I know we are!!! We have some yummy stuff coming and a new guest homey this month!

So this week, we explored MOVE! I found this word a bit easier this week, how about you? I actually didn't even have to think about it much! A few weeks ago, we set the trampoline back up in the backyard and it's like a whole new fun toy to play with again! AND, when you've got a big trampoline, you've got LOTS of movement! I had so much fun jumping, of course, but taking my camera with me and capturing my kids in the air!

Lauren went a little slower in her movement.... inspired by watching her daughter in a soft flowy dress with her hair blowing in the breeze.....a beautiful peaceful moment that would warm any mama's heart.

Here's our takes this week!


We're so excited some of you have begun to play with us!!! It's fun right?! We have coupons for you, so be on the lookout in your inboxes!

Next week's word is SHINE


For those of you who may not know, we're giving out coupons to our digi goodies for EVERYONE who plays with us! So come on, you've got nothing to loose, and you can take your photography to another level! Make sure your email is included in your post/link so we can can reach you!


See ya tomorrow!

music monday | kate nash

I love, love, LOVE this Kate Nash song called Merry Happy. You just can NOT listen to this song and feel mopey at the same time... it's impossible!

This is NOT the official video, nor is the lady in the video Kate Nash, but this video cover makes me giggle, plus the sound quality is perfecto. :)

OH, and please do me a favor and speak in her accent ALL day today... I promise to do the same! :P




enjoy!

PS. Thank you for all your amazing applications to our CT call! We are now officially starting to sort through them and will hopefully get that all sorted out this week and have decisions posted around the 6th-ish. :)

Double Take Thursday

Can you believe it's already Thursday! It just floors me where time goes....

So this week's word was WHISPER! How'd you all do? Did it get you thinking? I hope so! It sure made me think of different ways I could relay something visual to something almost without sound....i kept thinking of a sleeping baby, haha! I think i have some unfinished business there! I ended up going in a different direction when it started to rain ever so softly on Easter....I have a fascination with reflective surfaces, and a drop of water is just perfection. I thought the sound of a drop of water was as soft as a whisper....

This week, Lauren's and my take is so similar in color and texture. She photographed a kite softly blowing in the wind....together, they feel so serene, quiet and peaceful...



Next week's word is MOVE


Have fun and don't forget to link us up!

Double Take Thursday

It's hard to believe we're on our third week already!!! WOW! Talk about time flying!

This weeks word was SMITTEN which is defined as very much in love, enamored, infatuated, taken with - and yes i looked it up to make sure it was a word! hahaha!

Here's our take...


Lauren chose to photograph her much loved and bountiful notebooks she takes everywhere in case inspiration strikes! I was torn but came to photographing my bowl of Meyer lemons that my mother-in-law sent me last week. I can't tell you how amazing they are and the fact that she grew them and thought of me to give them to....well make me smitten!

Next weeks word is WHISPER... oh yaaaaa

Don't forget,  everyone who plays receives a coupon for TTP goodies!
