I got all kinds of crafty for Lauren’s birthday party a couple of weeks ago, and I have been trying to blog about it since BEFORE the party, but the words just won’t come to me. Suffice it to say, I got all kinds of crafty – I pulled out my Hello, Cupcake book and made some horsie cupcakes with homemade horsie cupcake wrappers; I made a “Pony Corral” bunting; I made placards and cowgirl-and-boy cookie mix favors ala Bakerella; I even made homemade marshmallows, which I turned into smores-on-sticks. It was a great party. I would like to show you, I really would. I’m just waiting for the words and the time to organize the pictures.
Until then, I DO want to write some more about this weekly photo challenge I’ve been doing! This week’s assignment was “Sign” and I was completely uninspired. So uninspired, in fact, that I did not even get down to business until yesterday, and the best that I came up with at that time was this: signs of time and neglect:
Yep, that’s my dusty china cabinet. Sad, huh?
Not very inspiring, or even interesting. So I did not submit this photo for the challenge, and instead woke up this morning feeling like a major loser for not getting my assignment in on time. So I thought I’d go the quick and cheesy route: signs of time and tardiness:
Yep. Wayyyy too cheesy. And then suddenly it hit me and I knew exactly where I would find my signs. Why hadn’t I thought of this before? We’ve been studying Revelation at church for the past month, and will probably still be doing so this time next year. There’s a lot going on in that little book of the bible! And it is chock.full.of.signs:
I also actually like this picture, which is kind of the point of the photo challenge – to take interesting and creative PHOTOGRAPHS. Crazy, huh? Anyway, I like the tone of this picture – it feels quiet and studious and there’s only a little bit of the words in focus, which is exactly how you have to go about studying Revelation – a few words at a time. So there it is, my Sign.
Belatedly,
Becki

Sounds like you had quite the party! I can’t wait to read more about it.
Good interpretation of sign. The photo turned out great.
Becki, I like where you took this. The cool thing about the list is that it’s completely open for interpretation and you found something no one else thought of. I too can’t wait to read more about those cowgirl cookies – I had to close bakerella’s page fast so I didn’t drool. 🙂
