Friends

I am so lucky to have close friends around me.

I'm grateful for one friend in particular right now.  My dear friend Nicole.

We spent a WHOLE summer a few years old working at at Fishing Lodge in Last Chance, ID. 

Yes, that is a real place, I'm not making that up.

We did EVERYTHING together and documented most of it. . . this was back before I had a digital camera.  Weird. 

We did stuff like this:

Nicole may be the only one laughing at these memories that I'm posting. . . or she may want to kill me for posting a picture of us lounging around eating oreos in bed, while watching Ice Age.  ha ha ha! 

Either way, I'm so thankful that I got to know her so well and that we have kept in touch.

What a beautiful place to spend a summer, eh?!

I'm going somewhere with all my flashbacks I promise!  ;-)

I'm not one to "step out of the box" by myself. . . I most of the time have to be nudged. . . well, actually shoved.  ha ha ha!  And Nicole did just that recently.  She is starting a cute little etsy.com craft boutique and asked me to make a logo for her to use on the site.  YIKES. . .it made me really nervous. 

I'm not artsy like that.  But I gave it a try . . . only because my good friend thought I could do it. 

AND, I ended up having so much fun and getting really addicted to it!!

So. . THANK YOU NICOLE!!  Love you!

Here is what I came up with:

Extra long post this time. . . but I'm excited. . . can you tell?!  ha ha ha!

JeAnna

Whenever I take pictures for someone I end up spending a lot of time looking over all the pictures.

So, I see these smiley, happy people every day and begin to believe that we are really GREAT friends in real life!  HA HA HA!  It's funny to think about.  I see them pretty much every day for about a week and they have only seen me once.  ANYWAYS, I say that because that's how I feel with my new, dear friend, JeAnna. . ..  I mean, we've only met like twice . .. but I know we are great friends already, right!?  ha ha ha!  Maybe it's just that I'm really tired, I'm really not crazy. . . I promise!  ;-)  OK, enough babbling!

JeAnna your cute little family is darling and you have GOT to be one of the most photogenic gals EVER!

Enjoy!!

Last one

Ok, this is it. . .  I promise. 

Totally overboard, I know. . . but I'm the Mom and I think she's darling.

End of story.  ;-)

Enjoy!

Part three. . .

I told you there were a lot!  I just couldn't help myself.

She reminds me of Little Red Riding Hood. . .well, Little Pink Riding Hood in these.

She was cracking me up and I just kept snapping away.
