Friday Features - Graduation

Graduation time is here again! How exciting for these graduates to be moving on to the next stages of their lives, be it college, grad school or work. A new life awaits!

As you know, I'm partial to gifts involving photos :) I love to make scrapbooks as gifts and personalized gifts are always on the top of my list. I searched Etsy and found awesome photo gifts that would be great for any grad!

Lake Photos

Okay, I've been telling you long enough that I would share my pics from the lake...so here they are :)

Jesse being ornery and shooting his uncle with the water gun!

The sun came out for one day so the guys took advantage. Here are Jesse's brothers jumping off a cliff!

Here we are celebrating Jesse's birthday :)

I met Sadie at the bar on our last night. My nickname has always been Legs...but I think she put me to shame! She was so cool and nice :)

Of course I took more than this, but I didn't think you wanted to be here all day...LOL :)

I've Been Tagged...Twice!

I must be popular today, because I've been tagged by two of my fellow EtsyBlogger friends :) I love any game that allows me to show off photos :)

The first tag comes from Deb at StoryBeader. I am to show off my 10th photo in my 1st folder. Well, this folder only had one picture in it, so it was pretty easy to find :) This is a photo of Jesse on one of our trips to Wyoming. He had eaten hot wings and I was trying to get a picture of his messy face and he was attempting to hide from the camera :)

The second tag comes from Sharla at BeadedTail. I am to show off my 6th photo in my 6th folder. This one doesn't fit well with the season, but it's a good one :) This is our friend Jeff on one of our snowmobile rides this past winter.

Who knows how my folders will be organized next time I get tagged. I am always moving them around and refiling them. They start as folders marked by the day they were taken, then they get organized by the month they were taken, and finally they get organized by year. I try to keep everything in place so I can find them when I need them. I think I just found my next project!

Oh yeah...I need to tag 5 friends.

First Snow!

It was so nice to wake up yesterday to the falling of beautiful snow flakes! There's just something about that first snowfall to get you in the winter spirit :) And every year I have to take a few pictures of the first snow...it's a little tradition I've started the last few years. We didn't get much accumulation...just enough to cover the ground. It's best that way...gives me a chance to get used to it :)

The best part is...when it's cold and snowy outside...I get more work done inside :)
