We live in the foothills of the Oregon Coast Range. We are also above 1000′ elevation. Our weather patterns differ from what happens in the valley. We average about 6° colder than our closest city and get more wind & rain. Rain. That’s what I want to know. How much rain do we get. It seems like a lot. Some days it totally bums me
Who knew I was going to become a runner? I certainly didn’t. However, I found that it works for my lifestyle. I don’t love the training, but I really enjoy the run events. I’m not fast, but I finish. It is rewarding. I feel good. I feel accomplished. Somewhere around the beginning of my running adventure I learned about the Tinker Bell Half Marathon in
About one year ago I came up with the idea to open an etsy shop selling digital graphics. Near the end of summer, fears set aside, I opened the shop. Six months later I get to celebrate 100 sales in my shop. Amazing! And, thank you!
In our Etsy shop we sell photo booth props. They are digital files that you download immediately and print at your own convenience. I have been asked a number of times about the best way to print and assemble the props. Here is a quick run down on my process.
The weather forecast is getting predictable. Rain. Followed by rain. And more rain. This December is officially the wettest month in 75 years. That’s sayin’ a lot since we live in Oregon.

Yesterday I showed how to create a photo booth background using cut paper circles and duct tape. Today I offer you fun snowman props for your winter themed photo booth.
Each year I set up a photo booth area in our living room and leave it up throughout December. This year’s photo booth backdrop was super simple since I was reusing one I put together at the beginning of summer for a graduation party. So, although it is currently being used as a Christmas backdrop, it can easily be used for most any occasion.
This year I went with a Whoville theme for our holiday photo booth. We love The Grinch, so it seemed like we would have a lot of fun with it. Which, we did.
I have a couple friends that I’ve been friends with since high school. This year, two of them have daughters graduating high school. High school! That just seems impossible. One of the girls is really active in FFA. After State Fair, when her animals were looking their best, she asked me to take photos of her and her 4 legged friends. She shows sheep, goats
Most of August was warm, dry & uneventful. However, one night there was a fantastic lightning show that I really could have enjoyed had I not been so nervous about the trees around our house catching on fire. Here in the PNW we get thunder & lightning. But no real great show. It lasts a few minutes and moves on. This time it went on
