One year ago, on Feb 4th, 2009....

My Daddy left this world after a 2.5 year battle with the evil ugly monster, cancer. I cannot believe a year has passed.... he should still be here :(
Here is a video I made of him a couple of weeks ago, set to Hawk Nelson's song, "The Final Toast" (please scroll down this blog on the left hand side and pause the media player so you can hear the music on the video properly.. it really is a beautiful song!)

Make photo slide shows at www.OneTrueMedia.com

And, yesterday was the actual one year of his passing, and also it was World Cancer Day. Also, a special new website called OUR SPECIAL SOMEONE made its' debut, profiling cancer fighting heros. And Dad, on his first heavenly anniversary, is the very first cancer fighting hero to be profiled!!! His story will be up for the week, so please take a look!

Here are some of my recent purchases :)

Tara Morris :: Introductory Photography Seminar!!!

If you've ever seen the beautiful work of Tara Morris (or if you haven't, go HERE )... THIS is THE chance to get some insider tips, knowledge and instruction on photography from the master herself!
Located in Penticton, BC .... sign up quick before spots run out!
Details on Tara's Blog ---> http://www.taramorrisphotography.com/blog/

An example of Tara's work. Superior composition, exposure and contrast! I treasure the photos she took of our family :) (check out those catchlights :)

My kitchen...

Okay, so this house was built in 2006.. and we bought it in 2008. So, really, it's not that old. There's nothing "wrong" with it, per se, it's just that some of the things are not "us".

For example, the backsplash in the kitchen features tile in which every 3rd or 4th one has heiroglyphic/cave art embellishments on it. Just not "me". The cabinets are fine.. ivory thermafoil with 8-inch stainless steel pulls. The counters are regular brown fleck formica. The walls are standard builder's beige. I know how to do tiling, having completed several backsplashes and a couple tile floor jobs.. so that doesn't phase me. I am hoping I can convince the hubby that *this* is what our kitchen needs :) ( just gathered various pictures from the www :) ***click to enlarge***

I'll let you know if I am successful :)
