my semi-amazing photo project {season one: episode three}

...and quite delayed, at that! the last couple of weeks have been busy! but i promise i'll be posting more of what i've been doing in the world of photography. i'll have some great shots coming soon!

but until then, i must finish what i've started with this season. i have a few more pictures after today's episode, so bear with me:

 i actually took this one in the dark:

 couldn't decide whether i like this one:

 or its portraited cousin (yep, folks, another made up word):

keys

Keys. They're pretty great. I mean, if you didn't have your house keys, you'd be locked out of home sweet home. If you didn't have your car keys, you wouldn't be able to get to wherever you need to go. And if you didn't have the key to your heart, you'd never be able to give it away to that special someone.

Recently I've been getting into more crafts. I've always been into them, just ask my six year old, glue-covered handed self. The one who littered the kitchen table with orange and brown construction paper bits the time she made a tree picture (I never found out where that got to, but that was one of my first creations I was really proud of). So I've decided that in addition to posting photography on the blog, I'll let you glimpse into a little more of this girl's life, starting with the biggest trend right now: do it yourself projects. Sure, I'm a little late in letting the worldwide web know about it, but I've been adding to my Pinterest board for quite a while on this subject. So, after pinning and pinning and reorganizing those pins painstakingly, but loving every minute of it, I'm going back through and trying out all those ideas! Some work, some don't. One of today's projects is the glitter key. As much as I hate those girls who must have everything perfectly girly and feminine, I do have a secret love of the sparkly stuff. So, today, I unhooked all the keys from my key ring and girl-ified them. I decided to go the lazy way and just do glittery nail polish. Probably won't stay on there very long, but I'll try it for the time being.

Here's the photos, because what would be a Seven C's blog post without some photographic evidence?

Some Things Never Get Old

   This weekend we had visitors. Visitors from across the pond. And from across the pond I mean Paris. Not Paris, Maine. Paris, Paris. The city of love. One of my favorite places. I mean, you practically breathe art and romanticism when you set foot out of CDG airport. So that being said, we must make a good impression by showing them the beautifulness of where we live. We took them to:

• Portland Head Light (of course)
• Spring Point
• Flatbread (because there is SO much beauty in food!) 
• Old Port

   They (I think/hope) liked it. I mean, nothing compares to the Eiffel Tower, but I would say that the rocky coast and the smell of good, clean salt air in your lungs comes pretty close. At least, it brings a smile to my face.

   Where's your favorite place? Is it a popular landmark, a restaurant, or someplace close to home?

sick days

blech. i feel gross today. which is probably why i am updating my seldom-updated blog. but after so much time around the house not feeling great, one goes a bit nuttier than they already are. so, what happens are not-so-candid shots like this one.

when i'm sick i like to drink tea and watch either movies (that are cheesy, of course) or tv shows and play words with friends in my jammies. i also like to read, but i just finished a book and so my brain's a bit laggy. which is not a word but i just made it into one.

oh, and yes. i still own a teddy bear. strange, i know. but try very hard not to be jealous. not everyone can be as cool as this girl (wink wink. *sarcastic cough*).

have a great day! and don't catch anything!

day 99: my sick sense of humor

july 22.

a double date! i don't know if that connection is something my achingly tired brain concocted, or something that anyone else will get. probably not. okay, i'm going to stop talking gibberish, but isn't that why you've visited this blog in the first place??

yes. this next photo is an example of my demented mind of humorousness. i really didn't think that humorousness was a word and i just typed it anyways, and was pleasantly surprised when i didn't get that ugly red squiggly line underneath it, like i do with most words i make up and the lowercase obsession i have. anywho (<---red squiggly line. grrr...) here is the photo of the day, that you've suffered through reading this post to see..
