Boo and I made the little charms shown above using Instagram photos and jumbo popsicle sticks. Aren’t they cute? We made a few photo magnets with them too for our chalkboard wall. (Just a tip: make sure to use neodymium scientific magnets.….they are super powerful. But keep them away from kids under the age of 3!) [Read more…]
Kind of old and creepy looking right? I love it. I have an old Holga camera and I love it. I even have a Polaroid attachment (for the peel apart Polaroid film) for the back….the only problem is that the film gets so expensive. What is a Holga? It’s basically a toy camera that is known for it’s photo imperfections: the shadowy vignette, light leaks, distortion. Add in the grainy quality of a pinhole camera and you can get some pretty haunting photos. Chris Keeney has some great galleries of pinhole photos and Holga photos…..among other fascinating altered camera photos.

I was at the doctor yesterday describing how I’d passed out the other day and I used this as an example: I collapsed, you know, like when Jake Sully gets unplugged and his avatar body collapses in front of the Na’vi. I got a blank stare. The Na’vi, the indigenous people of Pandora? Blank stare. I guess you didn’t see the movie…. I’ve got an echo on Monday and more blood work and then hopefully I get a break from doctor appointments for a while.
So glad it’s Saturday. I woke up early (or what I thought was early) and Boo immediately said: I ate the last cinnamon roll. You should have woken up earlier. She’s right. The cinnamon roll was fair game. Mr. LBB had to work early this morning. He had the chance to eat the last cinnamon roll but he didn’t. Boo played quietly and got dressed by herself, letting me sleep in as a peace offering.
So, we are going to Seattle soon for some much needed vacation. What should we do while we are there?
