a NEW edited photo of my week

editminis

Happy Wednesday!  You know…sometimes you start playing around with photos and never know how they’ll turn out.  This isn’t typically my ‘style’, but it sure was fun creating it!  I never really imagined I’d turn out something this….this…abstract? weird? crazy?  I’m just trying out NEW methods.  It’s kind of liberating!

These pumpkins that I picked up from the store today went from this… to this…to this:

Have a great day!  Try something WEIRD and out of your norm today!

Miscellaneous Monday…NEW stuff i gotta share

monocollage

Happy Monday!  So along with the above collage of miscellaneous monochromes…here’s a few other random things I’ve found interesting lately:

I saw this recently and loved it!

marktwainbicycle

The décor at my hubby’s work office…(the very few personal items he has there, at least)… is a bicycle theme – so I HAD to print this out and frame it for him to take to work.  :o)  It made me laugh.

I also recently read…

confcode

…and enjoyed it very much.  Why?  Because I’m such a brain science junkie, I guess.  It had lots of research backing up their statements.  I saw a lot of truth in it…just from observing people throughout the years.  To boil it down very simply:  Confidence is linked to DOING.  The more we DO something, the more confident we are that we can succeed at it.  I know that’s not rocket science, but the book had a lot of really good advice – especially for women, and it was well-written.

And lastly, as tradition goes…here’s my weekly NEW food find:  I’ve never heard of taro root before – not to mention taro root ice cream.  Sounds interesting!  I hope to try it….sometime. :o)

Have a great day!  Do or Learn something NEW!

 

 

 

 

a NEW photo of my week #56 and a short Sunday sermon

lanternbrokeframed

Happy Sunday!  I chose to post this broken lantern today because this photo reminds me that we are all broken (or, at least, we are all imperfect)…but we can still be a light to others.  Our imperfections can be forgiven through the atonement of Jesus Christ.  I love Sister Chieko Okazaki’s explanation of the atonement and what Christ did for each one of us…individually.

a NEW iphone photo find

wetleaf

Happy Friday!  Here’s my iPhone photo find of the week.  This leaf was actually pretty tiny and I almost just stepped on it on my way into work one day.  I thought it looked kind of cool with the water droplets, so I quickly snapped a pic.  I love how photography has trained me to LOOK for small little droplets of beauty in our world!  Have a great day!  Do or Learn something NEW!

I’ll link to Kim Klassen’s Friday Finds.
