a one of a kind touch

Custom cake toppers by the Small Object. Aren't they beautiful? She has three currently in stock in her shop. Grab them soon though, they are one of a kind and handmade, so who knows how long they will last!

got craft pictures!

A sneak peak of the holiday Got Craft, seen from the view of Blue Olive Photography, is now up on the Got Craft blog. I will be updating the Got Craft flickr account soon with all of the new images. Trust me, there are tons. Over 200!

In other news...

I stumbled across this while reading a new blog which led me to another new blog and so on and wanted to share with you the work of Ana Serrano. Check out her website here. Her work is absolutely amazing. Of course, while reading blog after blog, I somehow came across this image and immediately thought of Teenie from Blue Skies and Daisies :D I like to play Nintendo DS and I especially like games with cute characters. For those that do not recognize the bunnies, they are from the game - Rayman: Raving Rabbids. Thanks for coming over tonight!!

A few snaps from our last wedding of 2008 by Kyla Hemmelgarn.

shake it like a polaroid picture

(Us in the last 4 years)

Cleaning off my computer desktop and playing with goofy applications on Polaroid. It is so fun! When you download the application, a little Polaroid camera pops up. Then drag your photo to the camera and the picture pops up. Make sure your sound is on as you don't want to miss the cute little camera sounds! Shake it to make the picture develop faster.

so little time

So many things to say... so little time! I am not ignoring you. I have just had my hands full. Indie I Do is this Saturday and my to do list has a lot of points that need to be checked off.

However, I wanted to pop in quickly and show off these lovely buttons that Mustache Press put together for the show. These are just a sample. There are so many different designs and so many more colour combinations! I want to keep them all. Yup. All 500 of them. Do you want some too? Come to the show!
