Weekly Winners (Apr. 4 – 10)

April 11th, 2010 20 comments

I am compiling this entry on Friday night (Apr. 9) so no photos from the 10th. If I get any good ones they’ll sneek into next week illegally magically. I’m actually out for the night with my husband at a show, so I built this entry and set it to publish at the proper time FOR me.  Ah, if only other things in life were as handy-dandy as WordPress.

For all other Weekly Winners — check out Lotus and the list there!

Weekly Winners (Mar. 28 – Apr. 3)

April 4th, 2010 22 comments

This week, I had over 50 photos to try to bring down into a top 9 (which is my maximum photos each week I allow myself for this project). For other Weekly Winners outside of my 9 photos, go see all the participants listed at our hostesses site: I am lotus.

Texas Wildflowers

Spring in Texas means Bluebonnets and Indian Paintbrushes

Muster

Muster logo on the Muster Statue on the Texas A&M University campus.

"Sully"

The statue of Lawrence Sullivan "Sully" Ross stands in front of the Academic Building on the Texas A&M University campus. When students have a test, they'll place a penny at Sully's feet for luck.

New Building on Campus

This building did not exist when I was a student at Texas A&M. I think the architecture is fascinating, and I loved how the shadows fell the afternoon I was poking around campus.

Albritton Tower

Albritton Tower on the Texas A&M campus. I had my bridal portrait taken under this bell tower.

American Flag

Love

Love bracelet.

Grandma Bunny

My grandma gave me this rabbit figurine. She holds two baskets to put candy in at Easter. I treasure this figurine so much!

Happy Easter

Wishing you a Happy Easter!!

Weekly Winners (Mar. 21 – 27)

March 28th, 2010 24 comments

I have to admit. I miss doing a 365, and I definitely plan to start another one on my next birthday. I’m sticking with my Weekly Winners plan for this year, and this week I approached it a LITTLE closer to my old 365. Mostly random images coming your way with no theme whatsoever. They’re just all photos I took this week.

For other Weekly Winners, check out the list of participants at the now-back-in-Texas Lotus!

Mocha Java Chiller

Mocha Java Chiller -- Coffee ice cream goodness!

Flip Flop Charms

Flip Flop Charms -- My niece took First Place in Jewelry at the local Livestock Show Home Economics Division competitions. This is the charm from one of her pieces.

1st Prize

My nephew painted this picture and, as you can see, took First Place!

Curl

A solo curl.

Looking into the Sunshine

This is my "Hollywood Look."

Steeple

This is the church, this is the steeple, look inside, there's all the people! Does anyone else remember that?

Suchi

Sushi. Love.

Vanilla Skinny Latte

This is a SKINNY Vanilla Latte, so please hold back judgement.

Palm Leaves

This weekend is Palm Sunday. We went to church tonight, and I had to include a photo of our palm leaves.

Running behind this week… having too much fun, and then I had this need for sleep.  haha A variety of things to present this week! And a goal to actually comment on everyone else’s Weekly Winners posts. Unlike the lame sick me of last weekend. To see all those other posts, go visit hostess Lotus.

Mostly close-ups this week. Stressful week. Then, I got started to get sick Thursday. Pushed it too far Friday, and I’m only just now feeling remotely human again. Creativity levels are lowwwwww this week.

For far more creative people than I am, visit the WW hostess, Lotus.

Theres just something I love about an American Flag against a clear blue sky.

On a chain

I had an irritation on my ring finger one day this week, so I ended up wearing my wedding ring on a chain. I just liked how it looked.
