Kids.

Matt and I often talk about how our future kids will be.
I always say well I want a girl with blonde hair and blue eyes, and yes that is me, but I was super cute as a kid. Why not?
I also want any of my kids to be Matt. Meaning to be just like him. Because he is the nicest, sweetest, loving and caring guy I've ever met, so if my kids are like him then what can go wrong?
He then proceeds to tell me, no I want them like you. Me? Why me? I'm loud, in your face, always sleepy and feisty. No Heather, he says, your smart, beautiful, creative and loving. Our kids should be like you. Love!!!
Needless to say our kids will be blessed and hopefully have a mixture of both of us.The one thing we agree on is creativity. I'm a photographer, so I feel creativity ooze out of my bones. Matt is a genius at music. Guitar, Drums, Bass, Piano, Tuba..anything. Jealous? Of course! So we both got that creativity bone kickin in us.
Perhaps we'll have a girl that rocks the camera and the tuba. Or maybe a boy who adores science (which we both are awful attt!) No matter what, we will love them!!!!

To complete this random blog post a picture of us, because Matt really does not come in front of the camera often!

J Star

Have you heard of her? If not I suggest you are crazy. She's Jasmine Star, a OC based wedding photographer and I drool over everything she does. No, literally. She is what I called my crem da la crem of the photographer I want to be. I stalk her blog every day. Yes, my day does get better when I see a new blog post! And I love it.
Right now she is doing a five day course for free, live! And I am soaking up every second. I am learning so much and I lovelovelove it.
She's talking today about branding yourself. I'm learning to put more of myself out there. Because all my prospective clients need to know who I am. What I love.
So here it goes!

Jello?

If you know anything about you know I am addicted to the show 'The Office'. So it should come to no surprise that on one of my co-workers last day, I surprised him with an Office gift! He loves the Office just as much as I do and naturally he's the only one who truly understood the joke! Needless to say, it was fun to make so I am going to show you how I made it. So enjoy!


Things you will need!:




Jello. I only used two boxes. It depends on the object you want in the jello or the size of the container. I would not recommend red though! It came out way to dark! Green or Blue will prob. be your best bet.



A random object! I used a calculator because it was only a dollar and they used this on the show, but you can use anything I supposed. They also used a stapler on the show as well.





A bowl. I have no idea what size this bowl is. But it fit two packets of jello in it comfortably!

Now just follow the instructions to making the jello.
I had a ledge in my bowl that I could shove the calc on but I suggest using other things to make sure the object you want in the jello will stay put otherwise it will float!
Just pop it in the fridge and let it harden and your done!
Now I presented the gift to my co worker will the jello still in the bowl but on the show Jim put it on a plate like he could eat it.
I forgot to take a picture of the finished product but I asked my co worker to take some photos of it. He put it on the plate.








In other related news since other people know of my love for the Office, another one of my co-workers picked up an Office game just for me. It's just a trivia game but Matt and I have loved playing it randomly! So cute packaging too :-)











And!
Found the clip of the Jello :-)
Enjoy! Happy Monday!

Blog Design

Ok this blog needs a spruce. Perhaps more people will come to it if it had that WOW factor. I'm good in photoshop with photos but no guru when it comes to designing headers and backgrounds and yadda yadda yadda. This is where giveaways come in. I am dying to win this particular one:

Itunes Mix Monday!/Tuesdayissh

Whoops...so much for me being so on top of my blog! In my defense I was busy yesterday and totally forgot to do a mix but there should be no excuses! I will do better, promise!

It's weird how what I listen to changes so often. I gave you a kick back, mellow mix last week and I was truly listening to exactly those songs. This week is a complete turn around. I am listening to heavy stuff or heavy to me. Like Emery, Underoath, Anberlin, Paramore and so on. This mix may not be for everyone, some may only like laid back music. But what I listen to changes so often! Next week I'll prob go on an Indie spree, we shall see.
I've learned that this mix is perfect to listening to when your super angry. Not saying that's why I've been listening to this for awhile! But whenever I am in a horrible mood I blast a loud screaming song and three minutes later..my mood is gone.

Well happy Tuesday!
I need more to blog about. Any questions? Anyone out there?
