{little things}

I'm not a photographer by any means,

but I love captured memories.

Pictures to look back on & think "Oh, remember when...?"

So, here are some of the little things I captured this week...

{start at top left corner & go clockwise}

--> music practice. lovely shot of the keyboard.

lots of fond memories there.

--> that was actually my last music practice for awhile

{because of getting married & moving & such},

and the rest of the team threw me a little party,

complete with cupcakes!

--> pumpkin spice latte. YUM.

--> I Love Lucy. I really do. :)

--> my view. so pretty.

--> my handsome fiance.

putting together ceiling fans for our new home. :)

--> happy together!

--> playing rummy with my family

--> heading out for a walk, even though it's hot.

--> reading the bible. sipping coffee. a great bible study to work on.

--> one of my embroidery projects, inspired by a Fred Astaire movie.

--> he makes my heart smile. :)

...and another little peek at our new place:

It's starting to feel more like home. :)

Happy weekending, lovelies!

{instagram.}

There are a lot of things I love about my iPhone.

One of the apps I was most excited to try out was Instagram.

I am not an amazing photographer, but it's been so fun to snap a quick photo,

choose a filter, and done!

And I find myself taking pictures of little moments throughout the day,

which I wouldn't necessarily do with my regular camera.

So, I thought I'd share some pieces of my life today...

{left} Lovelies I've made for the craft fair. I just hope it will sell!

{right} My life is slowly being packed away in boxes & moved to our new house.

There are about 5 boxes of books in the middle of my room right now. ;)

I thrive on lists.

There's something about writing down goals

and then checking them off when I complete them...

{this was a cleaning list; my sister & I spent most of the day Wednesday

at my new place cleaning/organizing/putting away}

coffee + a good book = happiness :)

A couple of cute wedding projects.

I can't wait to see how it all comes together!

This has been my view every Thursday night for several years.

{I play on our church's music team}

Just a glimpse at my life through photos.

Thanks for joining me! :)
