WIN My Blinds

March 11, 2013

I hope you had a nice weekend! The Mister and I went away for the weekend to the Berkshires in Western Massachussets, sans kids. It was so relaxing and a much needed break. Anyway, I'm back today, totally refreshed and excited to give away something good! Not a new car, sorry. But instead blinds. And they aren't just any ordinary blinds, but the same style I have in my home and truly adore. Payless Decor, who I endorse 100% and have worked with for over a year now, thought it would be a fun idea to have one lucky winner win the same blinds for their home, that I have in mine. … [Read more...]

Get Focused: Creative Tips for Better Photography + Ebook Giveaway

November 29, 2012

I'm finally not as frustrated with picture taking as I used to be. I'm now taking photos that I always desired. My photography skills are really coming along and it's all thanks to Kristen Duke. A few weeks ago Kristen gave me the opportunity to review her Ebook, Say NO to Auto. With her easy-to-understand writing, I learned so much about the basic steps to understanding manual camera settings instead of always depending on the auto-setting. I loved having so many camera revelations after reading Kristen's 1st Ebook. After experimenting with my camera for quite a while, I was ready … [Read more...]

Auto versus Manual: Understanding Camera Settings + Ebook Giveaway

October 23, 2012

For years, to take a picture, I simply picked up my digital camera and snapped away. I was never thrilled with the results, but I didn't know how to change it. Sound familiar? How were others getting such amazing photos? I often thought to myself, what was I doing wrong? Well the answer is AUTO. Leaving your camera on the Auto setting often results in dark, flat, and blah photos. Since upgrading to an SLR camera, one random day I switched the button from Auto to Manual and my photography life has never been the same. Don't get me wrong, I'm still learning, but I've come a long way from … [Read more...]

Paint Tips & Techniques: My Favorite TIP & a Fabulous Giveaway from Small Wall

May 12, 2011

Today is very exciting! I am sharing my #1 FAVORITE paint tip, as well as offering a super awesome giveaway. What do you do with your paint brush or roller in between coats? Do you wash it with water, and then are left with a runny brush or roller the next time you use it? if so, Problem solved! There is never a time when you're painting that you'll be done with the brush or roller after your first coat. Either you need to take a break OR you are waiting for the paint to dry.
