Blooming Business

April 23rd, 2009

Sometimes, when I’m driving, I’m so busy looking at the blooms and the green working so hard to show up, that I’m surprised I continue to drive straight on the road.

Sometimes, I don’t.  But that’s our secret.

Fragile Flower

I just wanted to pop in here to tell you a few pieces of VITAL information.  First of all, if you’d like a chance to win a Team James & Jake shirt, you can do so by simply leaving a comment here.  The giveaway ends tonight, although, since I’m in charge, I’ll extend it until tomorrow.

I like being in charge.

Secondly, my dear friend Christy is still hosting a giveaway from one of my prints in my shop, her giveaway ends on Saturday.

She’s a nice girl.

Also, if you make a purchase from my print shop, ALL of the proceeds will be donated to Team James & Jake.  I have already donated EIGHTY DOLLARS thanks to the sales that have already take place.  It’s so fun and so meaningful to see all of you shopping and some of you buying.

I love my shop and I’m so glad I did this.  All proceeds will continue to be donated through April 30th.

If you’d like to place an ad button on your blog for my print shop, you can do so by placing this button in your sidebars. (you guys are the best, I swear.)

If you’d like the code, just email me at foldinglaundry (@) GMAIL dot com.

Team James and Jake has raised over $6,000. We are effing awesome.

Don’t you think?

And finally, I posted over here.

You Capture. Letters.

April 22nd, 2009

I’m hearing that many of you struggled with this week’s subject and last week’s subject which is GOOD, in my opinion, because everything good is worth looking for.  or something.   I could easily say “take a picture of your child’s smile,” but how challenging would that be?  I want you to think and open your eyes to this vast and beautiful world that surrounds you.

I also enjoy the subjects I pick because many can be taken in 100 different ways and I like that.  Wouldn’t it be boring to visit everyone’s sites and see that we all took the same photo?  I think so, too.  So, keep rockin’ it and keep taking lots of pictures.  BIG TIP: Take lots of pictures.

Wait, did I just say that?

I take approximately 2,500 pictures A MONTH, last month I took 6,000.  Practice makes perfect.  Take your camera everywhere and if you feel compelled to take a shot…TAKE IT. Several times.

Okay, let’s get going.  This week’s subject was letters and man, did this one get the wheels in my head turning!  Up until this morning I had NOTHING.  No shots and no ideas.  So, I grabbed my coffee and drove around and I found some things that I am quite pleased with.

We have an abundance of these big x’s (and r’s) around here:
Letter X and R

And we all have these “t” intersections, don’t we?

Letter T

Little letters.  Big purpose.

Letter NSEW

Love this.

Letter library

And finally.  What’s for dinner?  I’m hungry.

Letter A

Yes.  It WAS delicious.  Thankyouverymuch.

Now it’s YOUR turn to share your shots!  And if you didn’t get any and you’re now getting ideas after seeing everyone’s shots, get out there and take some pictures and link up.  It’s never too late, my friends.

Just a few things to keep in mind:

1.  You can join in on this challenge at any time!  We welcome & love new participants.
2.  Please make sure you are linking directly to your specific You Capture post in Mr. Linky (and not just your site, for instructions, go here) and please make sure you are linking back to this challenge in your post.  If you don’t abide by this, your link will be removed.  (I know, I’m so mean.)
3.  Try your hardest not to reuse a picture from your archives, the goal of You Capture is to get you moving with your camera, get creative!  Challenge yourself!
4.  Do your best to visit the other participants’ site – everyone loves the traffic, the comments and the feedback (not just you!)
5.  And finally, post as many pictures as you want on your post.

Joy.

The Print Shop

April 20th, 2009

I have decided to do something that I’ve considered doing for a very, very long time.  I probably would have continued just thinking about  it for the next few years except I had a great idea that if I rolled it out now, it could potentially benefit the March of Dimes and our walk this Sunday.  You know, should anyone be interested in such a thing.

And so, YESTERDAY, I started this project, and today I worked with my team of consultants (my friends) on the finishing touches and out came this project:

I Should Be Folding Laundry – The Print Shop.

isbfl-the-print-shop-ad

Essentially, it’s a collection of some of the photos I’ve taken since losing James & Jake that are now available as prints in my new Etsy shop.

Right now, for every purchase that is made until April 30th, ALL of the proceeds will be donated to Team James and Jake.  This is something that I’m excited about but also nervous about because really?  Is anyone ever going to buy anything…except that you just never know unless you try, so here I am…TRYING.  And I’m pretty excited about it.

So, head on over and come back and tell me what you think.  Your opinion really matters to me.  Be sure to check back as new images will be added soon.

Don’t forget about my most favorite giveaway ever!

Bloom

April 16th, 2009

Today felt like spring.

I walked around my house and took a close look at our precious James and Jake trees and they took my breath away, with their simple green buds.

Soon, they will bloom.

Today, I have spent much time reflecting, missing, loving and dreaming.  And gazing at these beautiful trees.
