Have a fun Day...

 It's Saturday and I'm off for 3 days! I am very excited to be working on my Honey List . Sounds boring/crazy I know, but I love crossing off when a project is completed. Of course in a pretty colored pen...
 Now don't go thinking I'm this very organized/get it done kinda girl, because I am far from that! I have projects that I have been working on for years! Shhh... don't tell anyone but I am the queen of procrastination...


Hope you have a fun day, and here are a few links from around the web...

Snap~Shot Sunday...

 For a very long time now or really for as long as I can remember... I have wanted to learn how to take really fabulous photos. I have a notebook filled with "How to Techniques," nothing fancy or really organized. Just clippings of what I think I need to know. Such as... accessories that I must have, editing tips, lighting tips, posing tips,how to use Photoshop tips, and even a pattern on how to sew a pretty camera strap.
 Complete chaos is going on inside this notebook and now to add to that chaos I have a Pinterest board labeled "Photography" with waaay more tips, directions, and must haves...
So this is what I'm thinking in this crazy head of mine... Throughout the week I will be trying to teach myself something to do with fabulous photo taking. Then on Sundays. Hence the title ~ I will post some photos and tell you what I have learned or the mistakes I have made.


This is my new favorite perfume called Chance by Chanel. The pink one...


This would be me craving chocolate, but using Olivia as my excuse to make. I knew I had children for a reason... 


This is a Bouganvilla Tree that I almost got arrested for, while trying to take it's picture. Hhmmm...maybe trespassing is against the law. I want a tree like this for my yard, so I had to have a photo to show the garden centers. Right?!


I am now totally obsessed with Instagram...

The Outside Won...


My big decision today was... "Should I do some cleaning inside the house or maybe the outside could use a little loving." The outside won...


I bought this basil about 2 weeks ago. Figured I better put it in the ground, where I want it to live before it takes root elsewhere.



Love my clumping bamboo mixed with a very fragrant jasmine vine. They are hiding a very ugly chain link fence...



Gardenia's that also need a home, other than the pot they came in...


Trying to hide the chain link fence once again with a pink alamanda vine...


Todd looking for lizards to terrorize play with...


This is a frangipani tree. They are very easy to grow! Their flowers come in lots of colors. Pinks, reds, yellows, whites, and I have even seen 2 different colors on one tree! It's a slow growing tree, but well worth the wait. They also are very easy to start on your own. By just breaking off a branch, and putting in the ground. Some say you must let the branch dry out for a few days first, but I have done both ways, with the same great results. I probably have 6 of these trees around my yard, and haven't had to buy one yet...


Just an air plant that I found walking on a sidewalk in Delray Beach. It gets a pretty red and yellow flower from time to time...


Can you see the very green baby iguana looking down from the avocado tree? He seems to have taken up residence there. I told him if he starts eating my avocados he will definitely be evicted...


My little red fox! Not really... He is Olivia's very very naughty dog. His name is "Mogley" from the Disney movie Jungle Book. We also call him "Bigels", "So Handsome" and an assortment of other names. I'm not really sure why he has so many names, but the little guy knows and comes to all of them...
