Nectar & Light

good day.  if you signed up for the photo trade for the summer, you should have received your partner's information yesterday via email.  have fun with it friends...

some things i am loving:

~ this project by my dear friend... she is such a talent and an inspiration; this looks to be amazing.  i hope to participate myself - if you are interested, email her for more information.

~ this has been one of my favorite records for as long as i can remember - it transports me to days of warmth, laughter and the wind fingering roughly through my hair on summer road trips - so i am looking forward to creating new memories with this;

~ loving her work;

~ still loving the bright side project;

~ this photograph;

~ and you need to make these.

p.s.  i have a recipe for you on thursday... i promise.  i already took the photo and everything. ;)

1.  you were the greatest surprise of my life; i had no concept of how much you would change our existence.  we smile more, we laugh more, we love more - because of you sweet girl.

2.  it is bittersweet love - you are the baby - you always will be; but i see the little girl you are becoming take blossom and radiate with joy and love.  and though i feel as if one of the most significant times in my life is coming to an end, i anticipate the next chapters - you and your sisters growing into little ladies, with the sweetest of happiness.  happy birthday ari rose... i adore you.
