I had my Aura photographed

So... My friend, Amy, and I went to have our Aura's photographed today.  It was such a cool experience.  I actually haven't stopped thinking about it all day.  When receiving our mini reading afterward she told me that a big reason I had a lot of yellow around my head was because I was receiving and downloading a lot of information all at once in my light right now and that is SO TRUE.  She also said that I use both my right and left (logical and creative) sides of my brain pretty evenly and yes, I feel that is also true.  I've always called it a battle within myself.  I did move my hand at one point and kinda goofed the reason as my friend told me my color started out white and purple and then when I placed my hand back down it started to turn the yellows and orange colors you see below.  The other good thing our Aura reader told us was that both Amy and I are pretty darn balanced at the moment, which is cool.   I totally want to do this again someday!  I placed my photos in a little album so I can add more in the future.  I have wanted to do one of these for so long and my friend Amy pulled through with finding the event that was offering it.  We then shopped around a really awesome spiritual shop which was, unfortunately, going out of business.  I picked up a really neat numerology deck for 10$ and then we found a really awesome place to eat that offered the best crepes in Pittsburgh and gosh darn it, they were the best! I want to take the hubs down there soon.  I got the spinach, feta and avocado crepe and it was just soooooo amazing.  I really enjoy hanging out with Amy too- we have so much in common and she is just one really cool chick.  

I hope everyone had an awesome weekend- did you do anything you have been wanting to do for a while? 

(On a side note, the head shot is said to represent what we put out for others to see where the whole body/charka one is what we are to ourselves.)

What I've been listening to:

Oh hey there! 

So I have a question- would you guys want me to film behind the scenes videos? I know I do the before and after photos but sometimes it's fun to see that! Please leave a comment if you would like to see something like that :) It would mean a lot to hear your opinion- sometimes I feel like I'm talking to no one on this blog and that I'm really just doing it for me (which it should be that way anyways but still...) 

Okay so here's the latest! 

I was so happy with this photo until I printed it. HA! I should have used more light- my other lens or my flash - just too low light and the print was only ..."eh".  I can't wait to get my new camera.  I am thinking of staying with Nikon since I have so much equipment from them (though I would love to take the leap to Canon!). 

So I made my husband (who never seems to be wearing a shirt in any photo) help me out on this one!  He was a little confused and it's always so strange explaining my ideas to people until they see the end product so we laughed a lot doing this! 

I kept rearranging his hands and he would pull my head back too far by accident or pinch my nose (his hands were too big) and we just had the giggles.  It was fun! I use to take my photos way too seriously and always be uptight when shooting but now I figure, what the hell- life is suppose to be fun- you are suppose to have fun! 

So here are some before and afters: 

Here is the oracle card - card 6 of 50 (Ahhhhhhh long way to go!)

I had my 85mm on for a hot second and got some nice shots of the dogs- I wanted to shoot with it in the garage but the space wouldn't allow it :( BOO!

How adorable are they!?

We has some friends over the other night and had some pumpkin carving fun - Tis the season! They turned out great and we just had fun hanging out, having a fire and drinking some pumpkin beers! 

Mine is the moon and stars- first time I haven't done a face in years!

We also celebrated my "Seesters" belated Birthday this past weekend too! We went out her way (south of Pittsburgh) and went to eat at a really good Mexican restaurant.  We then went to her house to have some cake and ice cream! Always a good time with her- check out Rocky in the background too! 

Also - just for fun

Thanks for reading!

4th of July

     For the 4th of July we drove out to meet up with our good friends Haileigh and Alan in Brockway, PA. What an adorable little town out in the country!  Haileigh and I work together but she works from home while I work in the office.  She comes in every now and then but I don't get to see her nearly enough. She is truly an amazing soul and I just adore her and her husband!  They had this wonderful festival going on with arts and crafts, music (Bon Jovi cover band) and a magician that was the funniest and most awkward I have ever seen.  I can't even begin to explain his antics but the best part was he threw some adult humor in there and it went right over the kids heads and we were all laughing.   We walked around and got some food and just enjoyed our friends company!  We had about a 2 hour drive home but after I snapped some photos of the country side I fell asleep.  The sun wore me out.  We got home and both laid on the bed and passed out.  Brian was just as tired as I but the day was totally worth it!  So here are some photos from our day:

Baby Mobile for a Friend

Hello all!

I hope you are all doing well and have a safe and Happy 4th of July tomorrow!  

I just wanted to pop in and post this project I was working on since it took me a long time to make this.  I made it for a friend of mine who is having a baby and I can't wait to give it to her tomorrow!  I think I may make more for my Etsy store (which- once I get a free moment I will finish setting up)! I really liked the woodland creatures theme though and this one has a special place in my heart! 

I hope you enjoy the photos!
