Spring Break

April 25, 2009 by Crafty Teacher Lady +

It is time for me to bid adieu to April vacation! I feel as though I have spent most of it in the car driving here and there to appointments, visits with friends, and errands that just can’t seem to get done any other time! But, here are a few pictures from vacation:

Bradbury Mountain…my friend Amanda and I went hiking at Bradbury State Park which is only about 30 minutes away from my house. The weather on Friday was perfect for outdoor activities.
Craft Project Time!!
I did manage to accomplish one craft project this break which was a duvet cover. My bedroom is pretty neutral so I wanted to add something with a little color, especially moving into spring and summer. It was a really easy project…I bought 5 yards of striped fabric for the top and then used a flat sheet that I already had for the bottom. The total project only cost $2o!
Photography Makeover
I have decided to give my photography business a tune-up. I am changing the name, designing a new website, and hopefully learning more about the technical side of things this summer by taking some classes. I also think I would like to gear the business more toward senior portraits, since they are about 90% of my business as it is. The new name of the business is House Eight Photography and I will be sure to post when the new website it up and running. In the meantime, here is a link to an iMovie I made featuring senior pics!

We picked the best berries, then went home where my little sous chef practiced her fine motor skills by cutting the strawberries for homemade shortcake- my all time favorite dessert (and quickly becoming C’s favorite, too)! 🍓 

The last couple of months have been super challenging regarding some unexpected health challenges for me, resulting in an emergency surgery 4.5 weeks ago, and getting back to feeling good enough to go on outings like today was at the top of my priority-list! I felt good and had a wonderful time with my best little bud!! 🥰

Also shout out to @browdersfreshpickins for allowing us to pick all along the outside rows so that C could easily use her walker in the field!
