being surrounded by snow.  It makes everything so magical. 

All these things are so little yet so big in life.  Taking the time to take in what you have can sure make life seem fulfilled.

Christmas Morning!

Hello lovies!! It is Wednesday, and as much as I wish I was linking up with Oh, How Pinteresting...... Wednesday from the Vintage Apple I just had to share some pictures from Christmas morning.  I have been slacking on the blogging....yikes!!! But just on the posting part,  I have been out taking photos all day everyday.  So many photos that my iphoto is full again, which means I have to go back and re learn how to take all my photos off the computer and put them on my extended hard drive.  Oh joy!!! haha!!

I have been enjoying my time in Canada :) It has snowed the last 2 days!!!! All white everywhere, which means I will be out again today to take more pictures for you to see.  I have been ice skating on a pond and played hockey (very Canadian),  went and watched my mom curl in her curling league (also VERY CANADIAN), hanging out with my cousin lots and lots, and of course photographing the beautiful scenery! ...... oh and today I am shoveling the drive way!

Take a look at Christmas morning with the Jordans! I did get my Hunter's in red!!! Camera bag is being shipped!! and season 4 of GG!!! Guess Ryan Gosling got lost on his way here :( maybe next year!

Bubbly Tuesday!

Photobucket

Happy Bubbly Tuesday!!!!!

 I am experiencing some technical difficulties today as you can see in the photo above!
I was up in Canada not even 24 hours and I managed to slip on some ice helping my mom move some boxes and down I went.  I cant believe it! I guess Arizona shoes are not always meant for Canadian snow.  So at first I just thought It was sore, as the day progressed the swelling got worse and it turned blue.  The next morning, it was tripled in size and completely blue.  Awesome!! I am not a Canadian resident how am I supposed to get this looked at? So I got on the phone to my insurance in the US and they said as long as its an emergency I will have a deductible and 90% will be covered.... up to the emergency room I go. We all know how long that takes!!! ahhhh.  I sat there for 4 hours getting x-rays and waiting and waiting.  Finally doc says, Well good news the thumb bone and the wrist bone is not broken! yay! However it is too swollen to see any other bones in the thumb and palm of my hand, there is a great possibility that those could be broken or fractured. I tore the ligaments that connect my thumb and index finger :( talk about pain! Now I am stuck in this cast for who knows how long.  I get to go back to the doctor in 10 days and have more x-rays done!

Today I am relaxing! Thats all.  I may be going out to look for some rugs for my mom's new floors she got done, but other than that I don't want to move!!!

What are you doing today?!? Make my Tuesday Bubbly with your stories :)

Christmas trees are so special to me.  Something about them just brings magic into my life.  Ever since I was a little girl I would sleep under the tree, dance around it to nutcracker music, and sometimes just sit and stare at it for hours.  Last night I got to decorate our tree again and all those feelings came back!

This year we went with all white lights, white and silver balls, and silver bows. Just perfect!

What does your Christmas tree look like?

Ever wonder what to wear on an airplane? It is always difficult to pick the best outfit.  I mean you never know who you are going to meet, run into, and of couse you just always need to look fabulous.  I counted the other day, I have flown 13 times since January first 2011!! I have become very comfortable with airports and plane flights. I used to way over pack, have a carry-on that weighted 25 lbs, two purses, jackets, books, you name it I had it.  I have since learned to dress warm, yet casual, and still look very put together.

Travel safe to everyone else who is flying in the next couple of weeks!!

Happy weekend!!!!!!!!!!

The Christie's Christmas 2011

Let me have the pleasure to introduce to you the cutest family around, The Christie's! 
These little girls could possibly be the most well mannered, fun loving, darling girls I have had the honor to work with.  At ages 3, 1 1/2, and 7 months our day was consumed with chhhhheeeese, cccchhhheeeese, chhheeeese!!! The open mouth laugh, tossing the hair, and of course the posing.  What fun we had.  Not to mention, Mom and Dad were pretty awesome themselves. When families feel like they are at home the best shots are taken.  

Tell me what you think of this sneak peak!

I have 3 days left until I take off on my jet plane so all this editing must be done! phew.  I better get at it.

TOMS

Good Morning!! Happy Monday to everyone.

Today I wanted to talk about one company that I am a huge supporter of, TOMS shoes! I know most if not all of you are familiar with TOMS and the great values they have.  Every time you purchase a pair, a pair goes to a child in need.  TOMS are not only selling shoes now, they have boots, and heels, they have gotten into sweatshirts, and now sunglasses!! The company is just growing unbelievably fast.

I cam across some old pictures of TOMS that I have taken in the past few months. I am thinking of stopping everyone I see wearing TOMS and snapping a photo.  In that case, if you have a picture of yourself wearing TOMS email it on over to me :)

Remember tomorrow is Bubbly Tueasday!! Get ready to link up!!!!

Happy FRIDAY lovies!!!

I can NOT tell you how excited I am to have the weekend. holy smokes.  I have spent all week staying up to the wee hours of the morning editing, doing photo shoots, yelling at my slow computer, trying to blog (I apologize for no post yesterday, it was 1:30am and I had to get to sleep and my computer would not cooperate with me), and yes and I wake up every morning for work at 5:00am.  Man,  I am tired! Thats ok though,  I know all of you are just as busy so I will stop my complaining :)

So what's in store for the weekend?? It is my last weekend in Arizona before I head up to Canada (or as people at my work like to refer to it as "the hat").  I have to get all my Christmas shopping done, and also search for warm boots! I am on the look out for black boots with a heel. I am very picky about black boot for some reason, call me crazy but I feel like they either look like pirate boots or hooker boots.  I can't seem to find black boots that I like. So any suggestions my ears are all open!

What are you to this weekend?
