Photo Challenge Update 3/17/2013

Happy St. Patrick's Day folks!! Hope everyone is wearing green! This is not typically a holiday I do much for, so I added some shamrocks, and I'm sitting here typing this out in a green shirt...for what it's worth this is the extent of my "celebration" lol! 

Here were my photo prompts for this week:

My Favorite Accessory

Tree

Flower

Colorful

Sunglasses

Fork

My Name

This is my favorite accessory! Dee Jay bought it for me a little over a year ago! It's an infinity necklace that says "I love you...I love you more"! He just melts my heart!! 

This is my tree picture! Love seeing all the shades of an Oklahoma sky! The sun was setting, and it almost looks like nighttime right above us, and daylight out on the horizon! 

This is my flower! These delicate buds, are seen all over the place in the Spring! We have two trees right outside that are covered in them! We have been watching them, waiting for the blooms to know that Spring is really on it's way! 

My colorful picture is of a T-shirt I own! I love all the bright colors!! Hurry up Summer!!

Here is a snapshot of my sunglasses! (Of course the day after I take pictures of sunglasses shirt, I need to take a picture of sunglasses lol)! I don't know about you guys, but I am really rough on my sunglasses IF I can actually keep a hold of them! This pair has lasted me one Summer so far! I always like to buy them cheap, because I know they will probably be ruined or lost in a short amount of time!

Well, this picture is pretty self explanatory! Here is a fork! A what? A fork! A what? A fork! OH, a fork!! (If you have never played that game with a large group of people, your brain has truly never been scrambled haha!)

We have three different pictures that a couple cute little munchkins have drawn for us! What you can't see in the picture is my "portrait"! Dee Jay has one too, and we then we have one with the two of us! I LOVE watching kids learn to write and draw!! They are so cute when they are all focused on something like a name, and it comes out PERFECT like this! I have millions of these stashed away from over the years, because I can't bring myself to toss them! When we have children of our own someday and they start coloring and writing, I have a feeling I'm going to run out of room on the fridge and walls! And yes, I will frame their first coloring experience, because everyone starts somewhere!! 

So there you have it! I've been slacking on the blog this week, but you guys have been back day after day checking out past recipes and that makes me happy! I promise I will do much better this week! Have a great Sunday, and until next time...

Photo Challenge Update for March

I have been completely slacking off in the cooking department! Dee Jay has had a crazy busy week and his schedule hasn't left any time for us to sit down and eat, so I've been lazy! At least I have the photo challenge to give me an update this week, before I get back to the kitchen! So here we go...

Illuminate

Color Purple

Soft

Eat

Sparkle

Drink

Something Orange

Black & White

Fruit

My illuminate picture is of our lamp in the living room! I love the soft glow you get at night instead of bright overhead lighting! 

My color purple photo is of an earring of mine with purple beads! This is one of my favorite pairs of earrings because I love adding purple back into the wardrobe in the Spring and Summer! 

These are my very soft, comfy house shoes! It kind of feels like you're walking on a pillow because the cushion inside is very soft and plump! 

My "eat" photo, is of my grapefruit! I LOVE grapefruits for a snack or an easy breakfast! Sprinkle a little bit of sugar on top, and you're in business! All the grapefruits I've been getting lately are so delicious, sweet and juicy I just want to go buy all of them! Doesn't hurt that you can squeeze the leftover juice from them once you're done eating and have a tiny little glass of fresh grapefruit juice! YUM!

My picture of sparkles is of my nail polish! I adore Sinful Colors ($1.99 at Walgreens), and I probably have about every color that they put out there! It's a bad habit, but it's so fun!

I am trying to cut back on my caffeine consumption! These are caffeine free and so delicious! 

Seeing that I was raised in an OU lovin' family, it was REALLY hard to find something orange in our house! Besides the orange crush drinks which I used the day before, I had to do some searching when I realized what I was needing to take a photo of! This is DJ's "scent free hunting spray" carrier! I found it after doing some major searching! So there's the orange in our house :)

My black and white photo is of one of my craft supply boxes!! My crafts are over-flowing and my to-do list today is getting everything a bit more organized! 

My final photo for the beginning of March was of fruit! Oh dear strawberries, how I love you! When I was little, we used to eat strawberries with sour cream and brown sugar! I can still take down a whole carton of these sweet little treats with that dip!! 

Stay tuned for some yummy recipes this week!!

Until then...
