Imperfections

 

And

 

A good life

 

 

 

 

 

 

I am participating in project: 365

{i am not actually using this link I just googled it to explain what project: 365 is}

and am using a photo prompt from fat mum slim

 

and most of my photos this week are from the prompts.

I love the prompts cause some time life is boring

and how many photos of the grass, sun, my bed do you want to see?

 

so with that said here is a week in my boring life

I dont have kids so I dont have a little one doing something super cute EVERYDAY!

 

1. time, screen shot of my phone

2. drink, starbucks cups consist of a lot of my photos

3. Bella being goofy in her pj's at starbucks

4. something i hate to do

5. i love the look of the sun peeking through the clouds

6. my handwriting {yuck}

what is washi tape:

 

 

 

Over at paper issues washi tape is in the spot light right now!

 

 I thought I would share some photos of this fun stuff

 

I use this stuff everyday. Instead of using plain boring scotch tape

I reach for the washi tape to spice things up.

Did I mention I worked the Love My Tapes booth at cha?

Yep that’s how much I live this hot new item

 

So what is this stuff you ask?

Well its Japanese masking tape

You know that blue painters tape that you used to mask of the molding in your living room, yep it’s just that with a pretty design on it!

All the different craft companies have different names for it like:

 

Tissue tape

Mix Tape

Paper tape

Washi tape

 

 

 

love my tapes booth at cha

 

 

 

love my tapes on my phoe, yep bored!

 

 

 

dressing up some glassine envelopes

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Check out the paper issues store for all your washi needs, don't see the one you want message cassie via etsy and ask if she can get it for you!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

march photo a day:

it's here, it's here

 

Chantelle from fat mum slim has her March challenge up!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Are you gonna play along?

 

here are the details...

 

♥ Starting on March 1st take a photo each day with inspiration from the prompt. For example prompt 1 is 'up', so take a photo looking up. Or of the word 'up'. Or something that lifts your mood 'up'. It it totally up to you how you want to interpret it.

♥ Once you've taken your photo you can share it on Instagram, Facebook {on your own profile or business page}, Twitter, Flickr, your blog, Pinterest, Tumblr or even just keep them in a folder on your desktop. If you're sharing on Twitter or Instagram add the hashtag #Marchphotoaday so others can find your photos too.

check it out here

 

 

 

Also I am linking up with Chantelle @ fat mum slim for the Febuary photo a day challenge

 

 

 

Here's how to play:

1. Use the list above as inspiration and take a photo everyday. For example for number one on the list, 'your view today' you'd take a shot of whatever it is that you can see today. This would be a wider shot of your office space, where you went for a walk, or whatever it is that you can see!

2. Share on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Tumblr, your blog or where ever it is you want to share. If you're sharing on Instagram or Twitter use the hashtag #FEBphotoaday so everyone can find them. There's a great community around the photo sharing, so do share!

3. Check out everyone else's pictures. I do it before I go to bed each night and it's so fun to see how different everyone's photos are. There are people from every corner of the world playing.
