I moved.








In case anyone stopped by here I also wanted to let you know that I have a new blog Sanukipity Creatives. Come check me out. I don't even know what happened to all the photos and such from this blog but what a mess it looks.

Help!

I know I haven’t posted over here in awhile, I haven’t been creating anything other than photography lately. And I am so happy that I am up to 100 followers now too. That is why I am posting this at both blogs.

I am seeking advice, help, ideas, suggestions. Whatever you want to call it.

I want to start a website. I have a cool name for it all picked out. I sort of know what I want to do with it. I want to be able to attach my blog to it as one of my menu links.

I don’t want to pay the $12 a month that Squarespace charges even though I like the set-up they have.

I like how Karen has her’s set up so that you click on Project and can see all her different projects at Chookooloonks. I love how Mighty posted her life list and under it she shares how she accomplishes her list at Mighty Girl.

Those being things I want to be able to navigate in my website, it is very important for me for it to be clean and crisp. I also don’t want to spend a lot on it as right now it is just me and no sponsors or anything yet. Without giving away my idea, it is all about happiness and serendipity.

I tried using pages on Blogger once upon a time and had a really hard time adding to the extra pages and it still looking clean.

So, this is where you all reading this come in. I am up for any, all and bits of any suggestions and advice. Thank you. =)

My New Companion

Since I decided to start taking my camera everywhere with me, I had bought a bigger purse to carry it in. This was really starting to weigh on me though. I have been searching on Etsy for the bag I wanted. I found this Deluxe DSLR Camera Lens Bag Case zipper pocket more padding - Soul Blossoms Magenta - INSTOCK

but it comes with a $85 price tag. I am still paying off the camera, I can’t afford that bag.

I was so happy when Cindy at Cameras and Chaos shared her new project yesterday.

I went to Kohl’s today (I wanted to go to TJ Maxx but it is on the other side of town). I didn’t want a purse as tall as Cindy’s because I only wanted to be able to put my camera, with lens attached, in it and have a little pocket for maybe wallet when out shopping. I mean to take it everywhere (except work). I left with this purse for only $31.65 (and $10 Kohl’s cash)DSC_0130

I picked up a piece of padding for $3 and material on sale for $5 (I ended up only needing a half of yard). As I have mentioned before, I can’t sew well. So I cut out my three pieces of padding and covered them each separately, using FabricTac to seal it all up. I then used small pieces of Velcro to attach the three pieces. I love it. I didn’t even take the purse in with me to buy the fabric. DSC_0131

Thank you Cindy for the great idea.

Moving to Wordpress

At least my new photography self. I moved all my photo posts over there but since they are here they will stay here too.
It is a lot harder to edit your blog there than here. I went through themes like no other trying to find one that left the pictures the right size and didn't cut into the sidebar. I have played around with the fonts, also not done like Blogger. I think it looks crisp and clean, let me know: http://lilisview.wordpress.com/

Shutter Love Tuesday with Trendy Treehouse

I tell you, I am seriously loving me some photo challenges. Another new one to me is Shutter Love Tuesdays Button and the theme this week is Cookies. I decided to make a trip to the mall and look in the luggage store for a camera bag that would actually hold my camera with lens attached. And while I was there I was going to take some pictures at the Tollhouse kiosk. I sadly learned, neither are there anymore. On the way home I stopped in Smiths and while deciding if I wanted to take pictures in the bakery aisle, I watched this lady cough all over everything so I decided to pick up some cookie and go. (Doesn’t hurt to have good cookies either.)

Handwriting Challenge

Did you know that Kevin and Amanda create fonts out of your handwriting? Just a thought as I have come across the handwriting challenge over at Vintage Wanna Bee. Here is my handwriting results (it has changed a lot over the years but the simplicity of it has stayed the same):

I boobooed on Cranberries but you get the gist. Join along over at Created By Chelle.

iHeart Faces: Best Face of February

I know this is my second post today, but since I wasn’t following the rules on iHeart Faces before I want to make sure I only post 1 picture for the challenge. I have become a photo challenge maniac. It helps me take pictures and think outside the box. My 365 Days of Photos project also helps but some days I don’t get outside and have to find something inside to take a picture.
Here is my best face of February (it was hard to choose, but I wanted one I hadn’t posted before and this one jumped out at me). I also love how he is reflected in the water pooling under him:brendan4
