One more photo

Okay, cause I'm such a Twilight Geek! I had to take a photo of this...I couldn't help myself! haha.

Photos from Sunday 08-23-2009

My Aunt and I went to downtown Salt Lake and took some AWESOME photos of the Cathedral of the Madeleine, the First Presbyterian Church and Mt. Olivet Cemetery. Here are a few of the photos. I will try and post them all on Facebook tonight when I get home:) The tree in one of the photos was struck by lightning. It was pretty cool looking. Let me know what you think please:)

Side note to the post below

I'm going to be heading downtown this weekend to take some photos of architecture and stuff. So I might be posting a few more for some opinionage:)

Some opinions are needed

I'm thinking about entering some photos in the Utah State Fair. I need some opinions though so PLEASE COMMENT...pretty please with sugar on top. I'm thinking about entering these two photos. Let me know what you think.

Charlaine Harris: Dead until Dark

I LOVE True Blood and after much thought decided I would give the Sookie Stackhouse Series a chance. Dead Until Dark follows Sookie Stackhouse, a barmaid who lives in Bon Temps, Louisiana. Sookie is special, she can read people's minds...it's more like hearing people's thoughts. She is working one night at Merlotte's when Bill Compton enters the bar. Bill is a vampire (que the drama music!). Vampires have officially come out of the coffin so to speak. Sookie's parents were killed when she was a little girl so she went to live with her Gran and has a brother named Jason (he is a bit of a man whore.). After Sookie meets Bill mysterious things start to happen in Bon Temps. Someone is killing women who like to hang out with vampires and in the vampire bars. There is a string of interesting characters in this book. Arlene (a friend of Sookies that works with her at Merlottes), Sam (the owner of Merlottes who has a secret of his own), Andy Bellfleur (works for the local Police Department), and many, many more! If you haven't seen the True Blook READ THE BOOKS FIRST! I really truly wish I would have read the books before watching True Blood!!! The book is a bit boring, especially since I've ruined it and watched the TV Series first. Check it out anyway! You might really like it:) Let me know what you think!

Etsy Store: Amy305

My friend Cassie recommended Amy's etsy store to me. So I stared browsing (DANGEROUS!) Amy's store. She makes the CUTEST stuff ever! I bought this bag (called Forbidden Love Tote) a few weeks ago and I LOVE IT! It's so durable and cute. She has a bunch of cute Twilight themed bags (and for those that despise Twilight she has other bags as well). She makes all sorts of cute things. She is resonably priced and the shipping isn't bad at all. Check her out at:

I LOVE PARAMORE!

I'm so super excited for their new album to come out Brand New Eyes. I love this song. The lyrics are great. It really describes ALOT of people and things going on right now for me.

Tagged: What Makes Me Happy

I have been tagged by Melanie, here are the rules:
1. Mention and link back to the person who tagged you.

2. List 6 little things that make you happy.

3. Tag 6 other bloggers and let them know "they're it"!

1. The first thing that makes me happy is a nice bowl of Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream:)

2. Another thing that makes me happy is my family. They drive me crazy, but at the end of the day they are the ones that I go home to and they make me happy:) Especially my Scottward:)

3. My creatures make me happy. I've had Aries since high school though and she is getting pretty old (She will be 14 in Dec). I'm really afraid to lose her, but I know she has led a good life. Nakai is a nutcase black lab:) Beau is just a big fat white kitty that thinks he is a dog. Blue is a bit standofish, but she can be affectionate. Emmett is a cute little grey kitty that just found us not that long ago:) I'll see if I can get some photos up of him soon.

4. Being outside with nature makes me really happy! I wish we lived by the ocean because I NEED water, but I'll do with lakes:)

5. Just being makes me happy. Knowing that I have the things that I have because I've worked hard for them and being grateful that I've accomplished the things that I have.

6. I wouldn't be a Crazy Twilight Whore (Famous words by my Friend Avalon) if I didn't mention that Twilight or anything related to Twilight makes me happy. I've met some AMAZING people because of this book and it is something to be happy about:)

I tag whoever feels the need to do this survey:) Have some downtime?? GO FOR IT:)

Some photos I took:)

Here are some photos I took while we went camping this weekend. The butterfly photo was taken at home today when we got back:)

Sunshine Butterfly Wing Necklace:)

I've been wanting this necklace for a very long time! Finally it's in my hot little hands:) Georgia (aka Gyspywings) made this and the second I saw this in her Etsy store I wanted it. It's a real butterfly wing. Don't worry, the butterfly died of natural causes. Isn't this beautiful? I LOVE her jewelry and photographs. She does such an amazing job! She took some photos of me a couple of weeks ago (too bad I didn't have the necklace then!) and once I get them I will post a couple of them so you can check out how well I can clean up! Anyway, I think I've posted on here before about her Etsy store. Her shop is closed right now cause everything is headed to TwiCon. But if you ever get the chance check her out. http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5068559

You've Kept Me Waiting...

You've Kept Me Waiting is one of the best fanfics I've read in a long time! It's an excellent story I found on www.fanfiction.net. It's the story of how Alice and Jasper met. These are my two favoritest characters (Okay, next to Edward) in the whole series! I totally recommend this story. Here is the link where you can find it: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5069284/1/

If you read it let me know what you think! I LOVED it!!

Etsy Store: Chickylovit

First off I have to say Cassie is unbelievable! She is so awesome I can't even put it into words. I ran across her Etsy shop when I was looking for party favors for the Twilight Party. I found the cutest pendant (I use to be normal...until I read Twilight!) and ordered them for the party. Everyone LOVED them. And she gave me a great deal. I ordered some more from her for birthday gifts for my sis-in-laws. They all turned out great. She even sent me one for my birthday! She is super easy to work with and has a deal where you buy two get one free. She has metal ones, scrabble tiles, bookmarks, Twilight inspired and chains to put them on:) Please visit Cassie's store! She is so great. http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=6551819
