Let’s get started!
1. If this wasn't obvious already, I really enjoy photography. It is a HUGE hobby of mine, like, every weekend I just go around and take pictures. I have only recently starting exploring it more when I took a photography class at PhotoUno last fall (it was great!). I shoot with a Canon DSLR and a 50 mm 1.8 lens. Two areas I hope to explore more include food photography and prop styling.
2. I LOOOVVEE lattes. I'm always on the hunt to find the perfect latte. Currently I am loving Le Pain Quotidien's cafe au lait. I also think Cafe Grumpy does a pretty good latte (think LOTS of foam). Pair either with a croissant and I'm the happiest girl around.
3. I really like love reading. The hardcover, print, physical kind, with thick pages that I can feel with my hands and flip around when I want to look back on a chapter or re-read a sentence. I don't really have a favorite book, but a couple of recent ones I have read include The Girl on the Train and All the Light We Cannot See: A Novel.
4. I am from Texas, and the majority of my family is from there, so I miss them a LOT. I have a younger brother, little sis, and two nephews. I also miss my family pets there. But...I do love living in the city and having such a unique adventure with my husband. <3
5. My favorite shows include Mad Men, Gilmore Girls, and most anything on HGTV!

Yesterday marked my three month blog-i-versary! :D This has been such a fun and exciting journey so far and has really allowed me to tap into my creative side. If there is one thing about me that has been a constant, it has been the need and drive to create.
As soon as I was able to hold a pen, all I wanted to do was draw. Growing up, my parents had converted our garage into a playroom, and among the toys and TV and games they put in a chunky, wooden, round desk. This desk was my life. I would spend hours there--drawing, coloring, painting--quiet and pensive, completely absorbed in my work. My dad told me he had been worried about me-- I was so shy and reclusive, so completely entertained and satisfied with being alone and in my element - he worried I would be too shy to make friends! (This all changed as soon as I started playing sports in second grade.) My coloring desk days sparked an interest in the creative process that has continued with me my whole life.
