SPF 07/07/06 – Wedding Edition

First I would like to send good vibes and well wishes out to Kristine and Shaun for their wedding – Tomorrow! Have a great day you guys This week for SPF, Kristine wanted to see -
1. Your Love (show us some love)
2. Take us on a Honeymoon! (bring us somewhere with your pictures)
3. Something Blue (No sad faces before my wedding!)

I went digging through my archives for this week and let me tell you there are slim pickings there! I just recently got a digital camera so most of my photos are *gasp* real. And I don’t have a scanner, so short of me holding them up to the screen, you ain’t gonna see ‘em.

Time to drop it like it’s hot.

My Love

My two loves – The Hubband and The Boy doing something they love – flying a kite.

Honeymoon in a photo

Our honeymoon consisted of one night in a B&B – sorry no pictures

This is a photo I took at my family reunion, in Clinton, Maine. I just love the shot and it makes me want to go back and visit every time I see it.

Something Blue

I love the colour blue so one would think it would be easy to find pictures of blue things. Apparently that is not the case. I found a few pictures of the sky and water but wanted to do something different. This is a picture of a jellyfish in the harbour that I tinted blue. The picture, not the jellyfish. hee hee.

Did you play? Go on, it’s fun!

Asleep at the switch? I wasn’t asleep, I was drunk! – SPF 06/30/06

This week Mr. Random and Odd has taken over Stuff Portrait Friday… will the madness never end!?
In his infinite wisdom he has asked for some very special items this week, complete with instructions.

1. Something with a story behind it. – Photograph something that has a story behind it. And yes, you might have to actually write a little bit on this one. Good, sad, funny, made-up….does it really matter? It IS the internet. Be creative.

2. A Random and Odd photo. – Pick anything. A picture you’ve taken, one that you’ve found on the net. Doesn’t matter. I’m making the rules, so don’t tell me what your usual blogger tells you to do! For this picture, the reader on your blog needs to write a story or caption for your picture, so get something unique.

3. In keeping with the recurring wedding theme, a photo of something borrowed. – This is pretty self-explanatory.

Ok Shaun, boo for making us all think, but yay for keeping it fun
Without further ado, here are my entries.

Did you play?

SPF pictures OR How do I hate blogger, let me count the ways.

1. Something with a story behind it.

Have you ever seen the art done by elephants? Pretty neat eh?

This is not one of those.

Wouldn’t it be crazy if it was…

This is what we having hanging on our living room wall. A few years ago I was visiting my mother and we went yard sailing. I saw something that was, at least in my eyes, gorgeous. A mosaic horse coffee table. How can you go wrong with a mosaic horse coffee table? You can’t, that’s how! I brought it home where The Hubband and I realized we already had a perfectly good coffee table and were unwilling to get rid of either one. So we took the legs off and hung it on the wall. And there it stays. I find the neverending stare comforting. Or unsettling, I can’t decide.

2. A Random and Odd photo. – Actually two…just because.

Ladies and Gentlemen, start your engines! This is all yours.

3. Something borrowed.

Our friends Joan and Nick have a delightful collection of movies and TV shows on DVD. As a result The Hubband and I are frequent “renters” at the Jick Video Store. This is one of our rentals that is way past due!

SPF, SPH, WWC – Revenge of the acronyms.

The last few days have been pretty hectic. I went back to work last Tuesday and didn’t get a chance to participate in “Stuff Portrait Friday“, “Saturday Photo Hunt” and “Weekend Words Challenge“.
This annoys me greatly, as I had every intention of doing them this week but my camera died.So, now that it is better I am doing them all now. So there.

Let us begin -
SPF – Kristine wanted to see Your Drinking Glasses, Your Address Book or Stationary, and Something New.

My Drinking Glasses

I cannot do much of anything with out my glasses, let alone drink! I have very bad eyes and my friends like to wear my glasses sometimes because it makes the ground look like it is coming up towards you. They call them “drunk glasses”.

My Address Book

The book on the bottom is all addresses and phone numbers that I started for our wedding. The book on top is actually one of my journals, but I wrote phone numbers in the back so I can take it with me.

Something New

This is the way awesome coin purse I bought for 3 dollars a couple weekends ago.

Looking at something changes it – Werner Heisenberg. SPF 06/16/06

SPF again! It seems I am looking forward to this more than eating and/or breathing…does that make me a bad person?
This week Kristine wanted to see – Your Puzzle, Your Best and Something Old. Holy High water pants! Lets get this wagon rolling…..

My Puzzle

This is my “arts and crafts” area. The puzzle would be, how in the name of all things holy can I get it to fit! It is so disorganized, messy and annoying.

My Best

This is the best thing I have ever done. Ever.

Something Old

As you may already know, The Hubband’s Grandma is here visiting and the other day we went to the Anne of Green Gables Park. I saw this gorgeous tree and had to have a picture of it. Little did I know how handy it would prove to be.

Just a note – My first idea for Something Old was The Hubband! He is 6 years older than me and just had his 30th birthday on the 14th. I have been teasing him about his age for a while so I didn’t think this was a good time. You will notice that it didn’t stop me from telling the internet about it

Did you play?

Here it is again – Stuff Portrait Friday! How did a week go by so fast?So Kristine took her cue this week from the dictionary – ap·er·ture – and our assignment was – A wide open space – Brightness – In the dark. Ooh so open for interpretation, I can’t wait to see what the other folks came up with You should check them out too!

Without further ado, here are my *Masterpieces*

A Wide Open Space

This is our mailslot, a small, wide open space.

Brightness

The street lamp in front of our house.

In the Dark

The Hubband, who was in the dark both literally and figurativly when I took this picture. He was sleeping and when the camera flashed he woke up “Why all the light? What are you doing?” Ha ha, so he was “in the dark” as to why I was taking his picture in the middle of the night!BQotD from You Can’t Make It Up

You can observe a lot by just watching. – Yogi Berra – SPF 06/02/06

Sweet corn on the cob – It’s Stuff Portrait Friday! I can barely contain my excitement.

Now that I am cool (now really, if anything I was too cool before, but I digress) and have a digital camera I can do the fun stuff like play Stuff Portrait Friday! If you don’t know what that is float on over to Random and Odd and check it out. Kristine is a freaky genius photographer.

This week she wanted to see – Something Sparkly – Something Dull – Something Colourful.
Sounds easy enough, right? Well here are my very first SPF entries – Are you excited? I sure am.

Now bear with me as I am a horrible photographer….

Something Sparkly -

This is a Rosary I made as a gift for The Hubbands Godson. I realize you cannot see the “sparkly” but rest assured it is. Sparkly in a good way, not sparkly in a Sparkle Fairy Barbie Doll sort of way. Ooh so sparkly.

Something Dull – My walls. Not only are they “dull” in colour, but they are also “dull” as in boooring.

Something Colourful – My Ribbon! Yay for Ribbon. Isn’t it fantabulous? Oh yes, I lurve me some ribbon.

Did you play? If not go on and check out all the other players awesome photos! Go on, you can do it….its fuunnnnn.
