Church Photos

Today I got to take photos of all of the beautiful ladies in my sunday school class. This one is my favorite so I chose it as my photo of the week for my 52 Week Photo Challenge.

Cheese Cloth

There are many great uses for cheesecloth but I have been wanting some for photography props for newborns. There are many sellers on etsy that have them and I have even put them in my cart but I could never follow through and buy them. After all, Its a piece of fabric that I could buy and dye myself right?! I just couldn't see myself spending $12.00 on a piece of cheese cloth that would cost about 3 at JOANN'S. Last month when I received my coupons there were TONS of 40% off coupons that made me seal the deal. I bought a package that was 6 yards and I also got a couple of dyes. I think they turned out great and all three of mine cost less than I could have bought one from this seller (custom photo props ) on etsy. I can't wait to use them. I have a little baby boy that I am photographing next weekend!



Bahama Blue
DYLON
The dylon dye took longer but I love how bright it is. It also didn't  leave any marks on my hands when I was rinsing the fabric. I forgot to buy gloves at the store and I just wanted to get it done. lol



Royal Blue
RIT DYE




This one I dyed with tea. I didn't want something super dark or bright but I didn't want to leave it white. I just boiled a pot of water on the stove and added about 8 teabags. After about ten minutes I turned off the burner and added the cheesecloth to the tea. Just let it sit for about an hour and a half.




I had purchased some hair bands over the winter and I haven't got to really use them yet. When I was sorting them last week I realized that I had more than one that was cream. I decided that since this blue color was so great that I would dye the bow at the same time so that it would match if I decided to use this fabric for a little girl later.



Giveaways!

I have spent a somewhat large amount of time entering giveaways this week. I may have a small addiction. Like going to vegas, I probably will walk away with nothing but on the plus side I dont have to lose money to walkaway with out any. I have entered several and I swear that one of these days I will win. It really would be a great way to get some new props. So a few minutes of clicking the mouse and leaving a little love for all the vendors is totally worth it to me. One of these days maybe I can have a giveaway on here! Wouldn't that be fun. I have alot of growing to do before that could happen. Maybe I can do it in a year for a blog birthday party?! Here are some links to a few of the giveaways I have entered and some others that I plan on entering if I get a chance to do it today.

Weekly Photo Challenge.

Well I started a 52 Week Photo Challenge this week's challege is "It's Green." I played around with lots of green things today. I made some zucchine, Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies with Haylee. Then zested and juiced some limes for tomorrows cookies we will be making. Here is my green!

I also decided that I would post my food blogs on another page so that I can keep it seperate. Visit me here too SUGARLESS. There is also a tab on the side that you can click at anytime.

Have a great night!

Welcome

Welcome to my new Blog.. As I have said before I am not the best blogger. I'm pretty forgetful and I never keep it going long. I will post some photos and some other fun things but it won't be on a daily basis. I really wish I was one of those people that could keep up a blog on a daily basis but I guess that my life really isn't interesting enough for that anyways.

My project 365 came to a screeching halt around day 17 when I got sick. From there I never really started again. I know, I know... Shame on me! I have decided to make it a bit easier for me and switch to a 52 week photo project.  This way I will have more time to actually get something done. I will be trying to follow the suggestions here (52 Week Project) Go figure, this week is GREEN! Haylee and I will be making some Minty Shamrock Cookies tomorrow. I found the recipe on a great blog that I am looking forward to following. We will be rolling them though!! I also have some other recipes up my sleeve that I am hoping to try. Hopefully will be making them sugar free! I also have some errands to run so I may make the sugar free stuff on Saturday!! We shall see. See you back here sometime.
