52 Weeks ~ Focus on Life

Focus on Life {Spectacle of the Season}

It has been a beautiful Autumn here in Virginia. I’ve been enjoying family birthdays, trips to the pumpkin patch, hayrides and all of all that Fall is known for . Except come to think of it, I haven’t had any hot apple cider yet! With the weather turning cold later in the weekend, maybe I’ll […]

Focus on Life {Quiet Moments – New England}

Peaceful, quiet moments…that is this week’s Focus on Life challenge. Now that is indeed a challenge. In a house of 4 boys, quiet moments don’t happen very often. Well unless you count late at night when everyone is asleep. You’ll find me up then, but there are no interesting pictures to share when I’m in my […]

Focus on Life {Beaches and Peaches}

Week 33 is here and the Focus on Life -52 Week photo challenge is all about what is In Season. “What’s in Season where you live? Fruits, vegetables, a certain kind of flower? Or is it bathing suits and beach umbrellas? Scarves or mittens? This week, do some investigating and search for what is in […]

Focus on Life {Hues of Blue}

Did someone say BLUE? When Sally Russick shared that the photo prompt for Week 31 was “Hues of Blue”, I knew I would just have to jump in. The 52 Week Photo Challenge is all about my favorite color. I’m inspired by blue. I’m drawn to blue – and I know many of you […]

Focus on Life {Color Crush}

Hello friends! Many of you are participating in or following along with the 52 Weeks – Focus on Life challenge. Can you believe it’s the half-way point already? I don’t know how that happened. Although I haven’t participated every week, I’ve enjoyed jumping in as often as I can. For Week 26, our challenge was […]

Focus on Life {Typography}

Well hello! I’m jumping in for this week’s Focus on Life Challenge. The word of the week = Typography. I was sure I would share a picture of some old and wonderful script from an advertising sign, perhaps. The more I thought about typography in the context of my life though, I thought about […]

The Pennsylvania Star Barn {Aged Beauty}

A few of my favorite things came together in this week’s Focus on Life challenge – photography and the past. It is Week 15, and this week’s photo prompt is “Aged Beauty”. We were heading down PA Rt. 283 just outside of Harrisburg on a recent antiquing trip when I saw it. This had to […]

Focus on Life – Week 8 {monochromatic}

Hello! This week’s Focus on Life challenge is all about monochromatic pictures. I happen to love classic black and white pictures, and vintage sepia tones. I decided to share a very recent picture, one take this evening as a matter of fact. There are a bunch of jewelry designers living right here in northern VA […]

Focus on Life – Week 6 {feel the love}

Here it is, week 6 of Sally Russick’s Focus on Life 2013 photo challenge. The prompt this week – “feel the love”. One way I feel the love, is when I am making things. Another way – when I’m spending crafting time with my little buddy. Oh how he loves to make things with […]
