Bio & Headshot

Well Hello there! If you've stumbled your way to this blog WELCOME! I'm a widwestern gal who is darn crafty. I love taking all kinds of pictures,  but taking funny ones of myself are my favourite. I am a t.v. and movie addict who can remeber all kinds of movie history, actors names, dates and trivia, however, I cannot seem to remember where I put my purse, keys and sometimes my children! 

To learn more about me you can get a backstage tour by clicking on the different links and visiting the bio/headshot area.

A Golden Celebration

Today we celebrated Ella's Golden Birthday. If you are asking what is a Golden Birthday, well it is when you turn the age of the date your birthday falls on. Today Ella turned 11 on the 11th! I went a bit overboard, but you only have one of these in your lifetime, right? I am also in this photo class www.snapshotsofagoodlife.com and I was trying out some differnt angles, positions, and lighting techniques that were taught this week. I had tank tops made for all the Golden Girl's and a "The Golden Girl" tank for Ella. I took ALOT of pictures, we went to see the new Hanna Montanna movie( very cute), and then I attempted to make homemade pizza. Why I thought this was nessessary living in the Chicagoland area is kinda crazy! The girls played Wii and did some artsy stuff, danced, sang and at 12:45 I said we need to get ready for bed! So while I am waiting for the last straglers to doze off I made a smilebox of the day.But before I share that I have to say 3 moments brought me to tears today, but they were tears of joy. All the girls were just so sweet and while at the movie towards the end I looked over and they were all swaying their little arms to the music and all smiling at each other, the second, driving home and hearing all 6 sing the Taylor swift song Love Story, word for word. Then lastly, today is the first time I have taken a picture of Brad since he started showing signs of being sick, and I'm glad I did. Today, we celebrate a 11th year of life and the completion of the 11th of 12 chemotherapy treatments. Thank God! Remember to pause the music on the playlist so you can hear the smilebox.

Hi Diana,

You probably do not remember me but I met you at Tiffany's bachelorette party. I absolutely LOVE your blog site. Tiffany had texted me awhile back telling me to check it out and I have just not had a chance, until today. I can't get enough of it! You are such an inspiration. I am telling everyone I know about it. Keep up the positive attitude!
