Good luck on your first wedding! I have shot a few weddings myself and have also done lots of portraits. I used to make good money doing it. Now a days I own a daycare and that keeps me pretty busy so I only do photos by request. When it comes to photography I prefer to shoot nature and animals . I love the outdoors so that kinda goes hand in hand with photography

Thanks for sharing!
I have to admit I re-decorate my house all year long LOL Good thing my husband does not mind.

Container gardening can be an art for some people. I have several containers placed thoughout my garden that I mix and match different plants. Some of the plants I move indoors when the NY fall/winter hit.

I absolutely love gardening, flowers, veggies, fruits, anything and am having major Spring Fever right now; not a cold weather person. My favorite flowers are the lillies. We live outside during the spring & summer. We have a pool so after I'm done in the gardens, I'll go for a swim and lay by the pool, reading & relaxing. I also enjoy crafts, home projects, and walking/playing with our 4 dogs (Bassett Hound, Black Lab/Pit Mix, 2 Pomeranians). I do pilates to work out but have gotten a bit off track the last couple of weeks! And I love to cook, especially experimental cooking!

I spent all day yesterday raking dead leaves and cleaning up the yard and garden areas preparing and anxiously awaiting the time to plant. My husband makes fun of me and says we're going to run out of room for anymore flowers, bushes, trees, etc. So I found 3 trees to remove!! He removed 2 of them yesterday and we moved 1 to another location. Of course I also have a ton of indoor plants and our sunroom looks like an indoor tropical oasis!! I moved all our tropical plants from the pool indoors for the winter. Its a bit of an addiction.

This weekend I will be raking, and cleaning up my garden.
I actually make drawings of my backyard and where I am going to plant. LOL I catch my hubby chuckling at me.........oh well LOL

I used to have lots of my "garden" plants inside but kinda ran out of room. Our house does not get much sunlight so I have kinda had to stop bringing them in.
I would love a sunroom Oh hubby.......

I love to cross stitch and read and I adore animals. We have a St. Bernard, a Chihuahua/Rat Terrier Mix, a cat and a Meyer's Parrot. We also used to have 3 ferrets and about a billion dwarf hamsters (bought two pregnant females on accident), but we had to downsize a little.

Isn't that the truth!!! My 4 furbabies are my world and always know how to cheer me up! Or at least make you laugh!

Have any of you dog lovers read "Marley & Me"??? It is a wonderful book about the worlds worst dog! I laughed, cried, and laughed some more. We have one of those "worlds worst dogs" (our Bassett Hound) but I wouldn't trade her for the world!!
