Lovely Sunday Photograph

Hope everyone is having a great Sunday!

Tomorrow I start school (two classes), so with work and school and trying to keep up an etsy shop we will see how life goes!  Posts might be appearing very late in the day!

Image source unknown.  Please let me know if anyone knows creator/owner. 

Isn't this image lovely?  To wake up with hundreds of balloons around you!  I wonder if this was for a special occasion?!

Also, do you remember when I told you my amazing father wrote a book?  Original blog post can be found here.  It is entitled Forgotten Hostages and is a true first hand account of the first terrorist attack in Washington D.C. that happened on March 9, 1977.

It is now available on kindle for only $4.99!

I am actually reading the book myself right now and it is fantastic!

Until tomorrow,

Love,

Jess

Friday Blues...

Hello lovelies!

I will be doing artist Friday tomorrow, making it Artist Saturday for this week!

Today has been a bit of a crap day so I am going to get into bed and allow myself to hide from the world for tonight.

Tomorrow I am going to face the day with a new outlook and a bright smile. 

I do recommend this approach at times when everything is just too overwhelming!  Giving yourself a chance to say F*** it today, tomorrow will be better usually does wonders!

So until tomorrow.  I hope everyone has a good Friday night!

Love,

Jess

A New Card on LoveUPaperly

Hello Lovelies!

It is so very cold here in Maryland but we are also very lucky that we are not getting a blizzard like those in the west, a.k.a. my sister in Seattle!

I wanted to post a new card I made that I am sort of in love with.  Check out more work on LoveUPaperly.

I know everything I make is not going to make everyone fall in love, but the image of the pink cow makes me laugh!  It could be that I am tired and delirious, but if it makes me laugh then I will take it!

Also, I have pinned a few images on pinterest that I am digging so I am going to share them with you!

I found this lone image using Stumble so if any of you know the owner/or are the owner let me know!  It is an amazing image and I want to give it, it's proper credit!

 

 

I love abandoned buildings.  Something about the imprint of life that was left from the people that used to go there fills me with awe.  Does anyone know where this is/who took it?!  I am in LOVE!

I also found an amazing website that shows views of different cities/countries from the sky.

Cargill Salt Ponds in San Francisco Bay.  Original source from Flickr

Go to this website to see more amazing images from the Sky.  Looking at the world from above can really be amazing!  That color red/pink of the salt ponds makes me want to eat strawberries!

So, tomorrow is artist Friday!  Are you excited?!  If you are an artist and would like to be featured please e-mail me at loveupaperly@yahoo.com.

Until tomorrow my friends,

Love,

Jess

Some Personal Images and an update...

Hi Everyone!

We made it halfway through the week!

I don't have much to say today.  I fell in the parking lot yesterday going to my car.  In my defense it was slippery because it had been raining and made a sheen on the pavement, but yes...I have a dirty secret, I am a huge clutz! 

So, neurosurgery 10 weeks ago and falling on your face should never be said in the same sentence!

That means I stayed home from work today to ice my neck like crazy and hopefully have a good day tomorrow.

So to make myself feel better I am going to post some photographs of my own photography that I have taken through the years.  Some film, some digital.  When I look at pictures I have taken they can transport me to another time and place. 

I kind of need that today!  So enjoy!

Until tomorrow,

Love

Jess
